Heavyweight Booklet Menus

Menu Printing Made Easy Peasy

We have seen some brilliant designs for menus in our print factory, some have caught our eye for their look and feel, and others have made us super hungry.  Either way, we do enjoy a menu hot off the press.

Saddle-stitched or stapled booklets make a fantastic base for your menu design because they are mini page-turners.  These are fully customisable, so you can create whatever menu you like using our blank templates.  

There are 2 stocks to choose from: 250 gsm silk or gloss paper.

250gsm silk/gloss: These can be laminated throughout. This means the menu is wipe-clean with a damp cloth and is protected from scuffs and scratches. A good combination of budget and durability.

Our A4 and A5 options allow plenty of space when you have many options to choose from. Whether you run a hotel, café, restaurant, pub or even a club, you can order any amount from 1 right up to 250! 

This makes you quids in as you won’t have to go to the expense of re-ordering menus over and over again - unless you’re highly experimental and like to change your dishes frequently, in which case we might recommend a chalkboard so you can cook what you want and you’ll only have to rub it out and re-write it.  We sell those too – search “Chalkboard menu” in our search bar.

We also really enjoy these booklets as little cocktail menus. Cocktails demand a little bit of the spotlight, so they do love their own little book.  If you do use these little stapled booklets as a cocktail menu, please send us pictures, as we love to share awesome design on our social pages.

UK shipping is free, exceptions apply.

How To Set Up De3sign Files For Booklet Style Menu Printing

For Booklet Menus, please submit artwork as one file in running order.

For example, a 40 page brochure should be supplied as one PDF with 40 pages running in page order.

Booklet menus must contain a page total divisible by 4.

It is recommended you do not place words, page numbers or images too close to the edges of each page.  We would recommend a safe zone on all sides of at least 5mm for Saddle Stitched brochures.

• Include 3mm bleed on all sides

• Supply as a CMYK PDF

• Outline or embed fonts

• 300dpi resolution

For more guidance on how to successfully set up and submit your artwork, see our booklets and brochures help pages.
