Print a Menu That Does the Ordering For You
A menu sells the meal before a server says a word. It sits on the table, rides along with a takeout bag, or stands folded next to the register, and it has to survive being handled all day while still reading clean; a set of 50 starts at $57.11, rated 4.9 out of 5 across 62 reviews. Whether you run a cafe, a food truck, a bar, or a catering kitchen, a menu on real print stock puts your dishes in front of a guest in a way a home printout never can.
A menu prints full color on gloss or uncoated text, folds into two or three panels so one sheet reads like a booklet, and takes a wipe-clean coating for a table that sees spills. Want to see how menus sit next to the rest of the lineup? Browse every style on menus printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.
A set of 50 menus for $57.11 covers a small cafe's tables with spares for the ones that get stained. A dining room that reprints every season, or drops a menu into every takeout bag, orders in the hundreds or thousands, where each sheet costs a few cents. Tap any tier below for the set total and the saving at each step.
What Are Standard Menus
Standard menus are full color printed menu sheets made in 7 sizes, from a slim 4.25" x 11" up to a large 11" x 25.5", on a 100# Gloss Text or 70# Uncoated Text stock. Restaurants reach for them for dine-in food menus, drinks and wine lists, takeout sheets, daily specials, and catering handouts. You print one side or both, choose a flat, Half Fold or Trifold format, and the whole thing arrives on stock that stands up to a full service. If you run a full-service dining room, the Restaurant Menus cover that same job, and this standard menu sits right beside it as the flexible, build-it-your-way version.
What Size Should Your Menu Be
Pick the size by how much you serve. A 4.25" x 11" reads as a tall drinks list or a daily special that stands in a table tent. A 5.5" x 8.5" is the classic bistro card, easy to hold in one hand. Step up to 8.5" x 11" or 8.5" x 14" when a full food menu needs room for sections and prices, and go to the 11" x 25.5" sheet when you want a large trifold that covers the whole meal. All 7 sizes, both finishes, and the fold and stock options are grouped below the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. For a menu built to be wiped down after every seating, the Laminated Menus seal the sheet edge to edge.
Two choices shape how a menu looks and holds up on the table.
Pick a stock that fits the room
The 100# Gloss Text keeps food photos bright and wipes clean, so it suits full color menus with pictures of the dishes. The 70# Uncoated Text reads softer and more natural, and because it takes ink from a pen it works for menus a server marks up. For a menu that lives on a busy table, add the High Gloss UV Coating so spills and greasy fingers wipe off. When you cater off site and need a menu that travels, the Catering Menus carry the same idea for the road.
Design it without a designer
Each of our menu design templates arrives with sections, dish names and a price column already laid out, so you type in your own dishes and prices and change the colors and logo in the online editor. The menu layouts are part of the more than 10,000 free designs 4OVER4 offers across its whole range. Keep each price on the same line as its dish so a guest can scan a section in one look.
Already have your artwork? Skip the editor and download a press-ready blank. Each blank menu template is built at the real trim size with the 1/8" bleed and safe margin already drawn in, so your design never crowds the cut or the fold. Pick the size that matches your order below, place your art, and upload.

Wally makes the menu do the selling
50 full-color menus for $57.11, folded and ready for the table.
A run of 50 standard menus starts at $57.11, and Wally prints them in-house on gloss or uncoated stock, in 7 sizes, flat or folded. Add a High Gloss UV coating so spills wipe off, print both sides, and pick same-day rush when the reopening is tomorrow.
Can You Fold a Menu or Print Both Sides
Yes to both. For the fold, choose No Folding for a single stiff card in a holder, a Half Fold for a four page bistro menu that opens like a card, or a Trifold for six panels that split appetizers, mains, sides, drinks, and dessert without the sheet feeling crowded. Need a tear off coupon, a lunch punch, or a detachable order slip? Turn on perforation and that panel snaps away clean. For the printing itself, choose 4/0 to keep the back blank, or 4/4 to print full color on both sides and put the drinks list or the story of the kitchen on the reverse. A folded 11" x 17" sheet printed on both sides gives you a full booklet from one piece of paper.
How Do Standard Menus Compare to the Rest of the Range
Standard menus let you set the size, stock and fold yourself. Weighing a laminated sheet, a catering handout or a full restaurant menu instead? The chart below lines up standard menus against those siblings with the starting price of each.

How Fast Can You Get Standard Menus
Standard menus print on a 5 business day standard turnaround, and when a reopening or an event sneaks up you can move that to 2-day, next-day, or even same-day production. Each faster speed adds a set percentage to the base price, so a menu that can wait 5 days costs the least. Before anything runs you pick your proof: go straight to production when your file is locked, request a free online proof to check the layout on screen, or order a next-day hardcopy proof to see the real stock and color in your hand first.

How a Printed Menu Survives Service
A menu is handled more than any other print in a restaurant, and two choices decide whether it still looks right in a month. The stock comes first. 100# Gloss Text is the coated option that keeps color strong and wipes clean after a spill, while 70# Uncoated Text reads softer and takes a pen, which is what you want when a server crosses off a sold out dish by hand.
The coating is the second. Add the High Gloss UV Coating and spills and greasy fingers slide off the surface instead of soaking in. For a sheet wiped down between every seating, the Laminated Menus seal the piece edge to edge, and the Catering Menus carry the same idea off site. Reprinting is cheap enough to treat menus as consumable, with 500 at $155.97 and 1,000 at $180.13.
Menus: Frequently Asked Questions
What menu sizes can I order?
Seven sizes are offered, from a slim 4.25" x 11" up to a large 11" x 25.5", with custom sizing available up to 11" x 26". The slim sizes suit a drinks list or a takeout insert, while the tall formats hold a full food menu across folded panels. Pick the size and the fold together, since the fold decides how many panels you are designing.
Which paper is better for a menu that gets handled all day?
There are two materials, a 100# Gloss Text and a 70# Uncoated Text. The gloss surface wipes down more easily after a spill and keeps food photography vivid, which is why most table menus use it. The uncoated reads matte and takes a pen, so it suits a daily specials sheet someone writes on.
Can menus be folded?
Yes. You can order them flat, half folded, or trifolded, and scoring is available so the fold lands clean on heavier ink coverage. A trifold turns one sheet into six panels, which reads like a small booklet on the table. Perforation is also available if a coupon or a tear-off section is part of the design.
What is the minimum order for menus?
The smallest run is 50 menus at $57.11, which covers a small dining room or a first print of a seasonal list. Pricing steps down across 25 quantity tiers all the way to 25,000, so a chain or a takeout drop costs far less per menu. They hold a 4.9 out of 5 rating across 62 reviews.
How quickly can I reprint when prices change?
Standard turnaround is 5 business days, with 2 day, next day, and same day rush available. That makes it realistic to reprint after a price change or a menu update without going dark on the floor. Add shipping time to whichever production speed you pick.
Do menus print on both sides?
You can print full color on the front only or on both sides. Both sides is the usual choice for a table menu, with food on one face and drinks or desserts on the other. Front only keeps costs down for a single-page insert that rides along in a takeout bag.
Do you fold the menus or do I fold them myself?
We do. Folding is a finishing option you set on the order, not a job left to your staff. Leave it on No Folding and the menu arrives flat for a holder or a clipboard. Choose the Half Fold and it arrives creased down the middle, which turns one sheet into four pages. Choose the Trifold and you get six panels to spread the courses across. Perforation is set the same way when you want a coupon or an order slip that tears off clean.
How many menus should I order for a restaurant?
Start from your table count and add spares, because menus get marked and dropped. A set of 50 is $57.11 for a small room or a test print, 500 is $155.97, 1,000 is $180.13, and 6,000 comes to $399.82, which works out at under 7 cents a menu. The per menu price keeps dropping across 25 tiers toward 25,000, so stepping up one tier usually costs very little more.
