Flat menus are unfolded sheets of paper, with customisable front and reverse sides. These are popular among food trucks and restaurants with a limited selection of dishes (or a special collection of daily specials).

Bi-fold, (or half fold) is a sheet folded directly in half. Folded in just one place, it divides the menu into 2 parts making it a popular choice for classic restaurant menus.

Tri-fold menus are folded into thirds, creating 6 separate panels that can be customised. We’ve found that restaurants with larger menus prefer tri-folds, as well as businesses that like to provide additional information, such as images, maps and reviews.

Z-fold menus have 6 pages just like tri-folds, but have a different way of folding. They are sometimes referred to as accordion or zig zag menus. The panel that would fold to the inside on a tri-fold menu folds to the outside back instead of inwards, forming a Z shape.

This is often a personal preference. That said, if your menu will include photography, glossy paper is an especially strong option, as the gloss helps photos pop off the paper. Our water-resistant flat menus are made of polypropylene plastic, offering both durability and water resistance — ideal for busy places like cafes, bars or eateries with outdoor seating (note that colours will fade slightly when the card comes in contact with hot water or drinks). Matte paper is glare-free, making it a great option for text-heavy menus. We also offer a lightly textured recycled paper that works well for high-contrast designs. Or, for an elevated, emphasising finish, our soft-touch option features a thick and velvety laminate. Please note that some stocks are only offered with certain fold styles.

Made from lightweight polypropylene plastic, our water-resistant menus are grease and water-resistant, but also tear-resistant — meaning they’re highly durable and won’t crack when flexed. Though it’s important to note that colours can fade slightly when the menus come into contact with hot water or drinks.
