Restaurant and cafe menus in United States
When your menu changes with the season or a special, you need print that is easy to reorder and looks sharp on the table. Standard menus are color printed on quality paper stock and designed for daily use in cafes, restaurants, bars and quick-service venues.
Choose 300 GSM Matte for a smooth, premium flat finish, or 170 GSM Silk for a lighter stock with a subtle sheen. A laminate upgrade is available on the 300 GSM Matte for extra durability and a wipe-resistant surface. Full-color printing is included on both sides of every menu, keeping layouts clear and readable.
Pick A3, A4, A5 and DL formats in flat or folded configurations. Folded menus are supplied as flat sheets with score lines, ready for you to assemble on site, so everyday dining menus, drink lists, specials inserts and function packages stay practical and on-brand.

- Digital color printing on both sides of menu is included.

The Everyday Choice in Custom Menus
For menu printing that changes often, custom menus in this range settle the decision between a heavy specialty format and a durable everyday sheet. They are color-printed on quality paper stock and built for repeated use, so they fit a venue that reprints when a menu changes and needs a straightforward reorder without losing its on-brand look. It is the format to choose when the menu is a working document rather than a one-off keepsake, and when each new version should sit naturally beside the one it replaces.
Material and Finish Choices
The main material fork is between a heavier smooth sheet and a lighter silk sheet. 300 GSM Matte gives a smooth, flat finish and is the only stock that can take a laminate upgrade, which is offered in Matte or Gloss. 170 GSM Silk is the lighter choice, with a subtle sheen. A venue that wants a heavier table card will choose the 300 GSM stock, while a lighter sheet often suits menus that are handed over or clipped. Because laminate follows the stock choice, the material decision is made before the finish decision.
Sizes, Folds and Order Quantities
Flat sheets are offered in A3, A4, A5, and DL, and folded configurations add A4 gatefold and bifold, A5 bifold, DL Z-fold, and DL C-fold. The A4 gatefold and bifold start as an A3 sheet and fold to A4, while the double gatefold starts as A3 and folds to 105 x 297 mm. Folded menus are supplied as flat sheets with score lines, ready for you to assemble on site, so the final fold is made only when needed. The smallest quantity offered is 10 menus, which keeps short-run updates practical for a changing menu. You can order a flat A4 and a folded DL specials card from the same range without switching stock or finish.
Artwork Setup for Two-Sided Printing
Digital color printing is included on both sides of every menu, so the artwork needs to cover two printed faces and no reverse is left blank. This keeps layouts clear and readable from both sides of the card, whether the menu sits face up on a table or is picked up and turned over. For menu card printing at tables and counters, both faces should be treated as part of the same printed sheet, with the same stock and finish carrying every panel. That makes the artwork setup a two-sided layout rather than a single front with an empty back.
How Standard Menus Hold Up
Once in service, standard menus are made to take regular handling. The laminate upgrade on 300 GSM Matte adds extra durability and gives the card a wipe-resistant surface for cleaning between seatings, which is the main upgrade for venues that expect spills or frequent handling. That lets the same card be wiped down between seatings without the printed area lifting or dulling. This makes the range the workhorse of the restaurant print range, chosen for practical handling rather than a one-off campaign. The printed card keeps its look through repeated services without becoming a specialty piece.
Where Standard Menus Are Used
Standard menus carry everyday dining menus, drink lists, specials inserts, and function packages. The product is designed for daily use in cafes, restaurants, bars, and quick-service venues, so the same sheet can move between the dining room and the counter. Function packages are a fit when a set menu needs its own card for a fixed offering. Because the range includes both larger A3 and A4 sheets and compact A5 and DL cards, it covers a full menu spread and a small specials insert without changing product.
Standard Menus vs Specialty Formats
Standard menus are the practical baseline among menu formats. Foil Menus add a metallic finish for a more decorative printed look, while Diecut Menus introduce a shaped edge that changes the card outline. White Ink Menus use a different print approach for a specialty contrast, and Coasters support the table but are not built to carry a full menu. Standard menus stay the everyday choice when clear full-color print on quality paper stock and an easy reorder matter more than a metallic or shaped finish, which keeps them the default for most menu updates.
