Products Custom Menu Covers
UNDERSTANDING THE BASICS WHEN SELECTING OR DESIGNING A MENU COVER
There are three major things that must be considered when designing a menu cover: the number of pages, the sheet size and the artwork. Below are a few things to keep in mind when you are deciding what menu cover will work best for you. Once these factors have been decided then material choices and colour can be made.
Ask yourself this question, “how many viewing pages is my menu?”
Menu cover designs are based on how many pages your menu will be. In order to make an effective decision about what products are right for you take a look at the number of viewing or readable pages you need to accomodate and build your custom cover from there.

Ask yourself this question, “what sheet size would I like to use?”
Menu by Design custom menu covers are built around the sheet size you plan to use. As a custom business we are happy to make any cover in any size. Tell us the sheet size (binding edge first) and we will build the cover to fit. You are under no obligation to use a standard sizing. However standard sizing is always available. If you print your menu sheets in house we do suggest considering standard sizing to avoid having unnecessary paper waste created with extra trimming.
Standard insert sheet sizing includes:
8.5″ x 5.5″
11″ x 8.5″
11″ x 4.25″
14″ x 8.5″
14″ x 4.25″
Ask yourself this question, “how do I want my artwork to be look on the front cover?”
A menu cover is brought to life by the artwork that is applied to the cover. The price of a menu cover is quoted based on the number of artwork applications it includes. Take a look at your logo or design and decide what kind of presentation or effect you are looking to achieve. Options include debossing, foil stamping, screen printing, decals or a combination of these processes.
