Pizza Menus FAQs

Which paper stock works best for pizza menus that see greasy hands and heavy use?

Choose 100 lb gloss text with gloss or high-gloss UV coating for better wipeability and scuff resistance. Pick uncoated (70 lb or 14 pt uncoated) if you need to write specials by hand. Cardstocks (10 pt, 14 pt, 16 pt) are stiffer for dine-in menus but aren’t waterproof.

What sizes and folding options are available for pizza menus?

Sizes: 4.25″ x 11″, 5.5″ x 8.5″, 11″ x 8.5″, 14″ x 8.5″, 9″ x 12″, 11″ x 17″. Folding varies by size: 4.25″ x 11″ offers No Fold or Half-Fold; most other sizes support No Fold, Half-Fold, Tri (Letter), Z-Fold, or Accordion; 11″ x 17″ ships flat (No Fold).

Can you print full color on both sides, and how accurate is color?

Yes, choose Full Color Both Sides. We print in CMYK, so spot (Pantone) colors are converted; expect minor shifts versus on-screen or previous runs. Gloss and UV coatings can make colors appear more vibrant.

Are the coatings food-safe, and can I write on the menu?

Coatings (Gloss/Matte/UV) are standard commercial print finishes for non-food-contact surfaces; menus are meant for handling, not direct food contact. For handwriting, use uncoated stocks or Matte; UV/Gloss can resist ink from pens/markers.

What’s the fastest turnaround for pizza menus and when does it start?

Same Day, Next Business Day, or 5 Business Days. Turnaround starts after print-ready files and approval are received and payment clears. Rush services may limit quantities or finishing choices.

How should I set up my file for folding and edge-to-edge printing?

Export CMYK at 300 dpi with 0.125″ bleed on all sides and keep text 0.25″ inside the trim. For tri-folds, set proper panel widths (inside panel slightly narrower). Remove crop marks, embed images, and outline fonts.

What’s the difference between 70/80/100 lb paper and 10/14/16 pt cardstock in real life?

70/80/100 lb are flexible “text” papers, good for mass handouts; 100 lb is the thickest text option. 10/14/16 pt are rigid cardstocks, more durable and premium-feeling for dine-in menus. Thicker stocks resist bending better but are not waterproof.
