Professional Menu Printing for Restaurants, Cafes & Bars
Whether you're refreshing your current menu or creating something entirely new, the right printing service can transform how your patrons experience your venue. We print your menus on premium 300GSM card stock, install them directly into your chosen covers, and deliver them ready for the table.
With over 40 years supplying menus to restaurants, cafes, bars and hotels across Australia, our team handles everything from custom design through to print and installation — so you can focus on running your venue.
Why Venue Owners Choose Our Menu Printing Service
Your menu is one of the first things your customers interact with, and it shapes their perception of your food, your brand and the dining experience. A professionally printed menu on premium paper stock communicates quality before a single dish reaches the table.
- Premium 300GSM card stock: nearly four times thicker than standard copy paper — a more substantial feel, crisper full-colour print, and better durability for busy venues.
- Printed and installed into your covers: we install your printed inserts directly into leather binders, timber clipboards or bistro folders, so they arrive ready to place on the table.
- Full-colour printing on both sides: every menu is printed in full colour on both sides as standard.
- Fast turnaround for seasonal updates: quick print jobs for seasonal dishes, new pricing or special occasions.
- Volume pricing for larger orders: competitive pricing that improves with larger quantities, whether you run one venue or many.
Menu Printing for Every Venue Type
The format, size and finish that suits a fine-dining restaurant won't necessarily work for a busy cafe or a late-night bar. We help you choose the right options for your specific venue.
Restaurant menus
We print dine-in menus on premium 300GSM stock that pairs beautifully with leather or timber covers. Available in A4 and A5, with layouts that showcase your dishes and highlight signature items. The heavier stock resists creasing and wear, and lamination protects against spills and frequent handling.
Cafe menus
Cafes update menus more often, so durability and easy reprinting matter. Our installation service means you receive new inserts already fitted into your covers — ready to swap out the moment they arrive. Bistro covers with clear sleeves protect against coffee spills and daily wear. Available in A4, A5 and DL.
Bar and drinks menus
Cocktail lists and wine menus face low lighting, wet surfaces and frequent handling. We offer finishes that address each — including velvet laminate that resists fingerprints and moisture — and can advise on paper weights and finishes so your drinks menu looks as polished as the cocktails you serve.
Takeaway menus
Takeaway and delivery menus are typically folded formats — tri-fold, half-fold or Z-fold — printed on durable stock. We print in DL and A4, pre-folded and ready to distribute, and can produce dine-in and takeaway formats in a single order.
Event and special occasion menus
Weddings, corporate functions and seasonal events call for menus that match the occasion. We print special-event menus in short runs — from a pack of 20 to a run of 500 or more — with the same premium quality across every order.
Our Menu Printing Process
From artwork to finished menus with minimal effort on your end.
Paper Stock & Printing Options
All our menus are printed on 300GSM card stock as standard. Standard office copy paper is typically 80GSM — so our stock is nearly four times the weight, for a premium feel, sharper text, more vibrant colours and greater durability. Even heavier stock is available on request.
Finishing & lamination
- Gloss laminate — smooth and reflective; makes colours pop. Ideal for photography or vibrant schemes.
- Matt laminate — soft, non-reflective and sophisticated. Popular for fine dining and wine menus.
- Velvet laminate — luxurious, tactile and fingerprint-resistant. Perfect for high-end menus.
Standard sizes
- A3 (297 x 420mm) — large-format menus and placemats.
- A4 (210 x 297mm) — the most popular size for dine-in.
- A5 (148 x 210mm) — compact menus, dessert menus and drinks lists.
- DL (99 x 210mm) — slim format for takeaway, wine lists and bar menus.
Custom sizes are available on request, including unique shapes to match your brand or cover style.
Menu Covers That Complement Your Menus
Order covers and printed inserts together and we deliver them fully assembled — print, install and deliver in one.
Bulk Orders & Volume Pricing
Ordering for multiple venues or a larger quantity? Our pricing scales with your order — the more you print, the better the per-unit rate. There's no prohibitive minimum spend: whether you need 20 menus for a single venue or 500 across a hospitality group, we can accommodate your order. Multi-venue operators benefit from our bundled service — fully assembled menus delivered to each location.
Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes do you print menus in?
We print in A3, A4, A5 and DL as standard. Custom sizes are available on request to fit specific cover dimensions or venue requirements.

Turnaround depends on the size of your order, but we're committed to fast, reliable service. We understand hospitality venues often need menus updated quickly for seasonal changes, new dishes or special events.
Can you help with menu design?
Yes. If you don't have print-ready artwork, our team can assist with custom menu design, layout and formatting to reflect your venue's identity.
Do you offer waterproof or spill-resistant menus?
We offer gloss, matt and velvet lamination that provides excellent resistance to spills and moisture. Laminated menus on our 300GSM stock are a durable choice for high-spill or outdoor settings.
