Creased Menus printed on durable and heavy paper stocks pre-creased to prevent cracking

Description

Menus built to survive service after service

Creased Menus are printed on durable, heavy paper stocks and creased before delivery — so when you fold them, the spine folds cleanly instead of cracking and flaking the print. Choose your stock, add matt or gloss lamination for menus that stand up to nightly handling, and they arrive flat, ready to fold as you need them. A real person checks your artwork before anything is printed, and every order helps restore forests through our Print A Tree project.

Artwork made easy

Every order includes a free artwork check by a real person — you don't need to ask. If we spot a problem, we'll contact you before anything gets printed.

Supply your menu as a two-page, double-sided PDF in CMYK — 300dpi minimum, 3mm bleed all round, fonts outlined or embedded. Page order matters on creased work: for an A4 creased to A5, page 1 of your PDF carries the back cover and front cover side by side (panels 4 and 1), and page 2 carries the inside spread (panels 2 and 3). For landscape creases, keep the front cover the right way up with the back cover rotated 180° on the same page, and rotate the inside pages 180° on page 2. Our best tip: print a folded mock-up at your desk before submitting — thirty seconds with a home printer catches every orientation mistake. Confused by any of it? Send us what you have and we'll sort the imposition for you.

Frequently asked questions

What is a creased menu? ›

A menu printed on heavy stock that has been creased — compressed along the fold line — before delivery. Heavy paper folded without a crease cracks along the spine and flakes the printed ink; creasing first means a clean, professional fold every time.

Why are the menus supplied flat? ›

Flat menus store compactly, stay pristine until you need them, and fold crisply along the pre-made crease in seconds. You fold as you go, rather than storing stacks of pre-folded menus that gradually lose their shape.

Should I laminate my menus? ›

If they're handled daily, yes. Matt or gloss lamination adds real durability and makes menus easier to wipe down between sittings — matt for an understated look, gloss to make food photography pop.

How do I set up artwork for a folded menu? ›

As a two-page, double-sided PDF with the panels arranged in printing order: for an A4 creased to A5, page 1 shows panels 4 and 1 (back and front covers), page 2 shows panels 2 and 3 (the inside spread). Full details, including landscape crease orientation, are in the artwork section above — and if it's confusing, send us the file and we'll set it up.

How can I check my artwork is right before submitting? ›

Print a mock-up on a home or office printer, fold it, and check every panel reads the right way up in the right place. It takes a minute and catches orientation mistakes before they reach the press — and our free human artwork check backs you up either way.

Can Printlogik design my menu? ›

Yes — from tidying your existing layout and handling the page imposition, through to designing the menu from scratch around your dishes and brand.
