Style and Size

The first step in designing a menu cover is to decide on the style based on the number of pages your menu needs. Menu cover styles are typically broken into page views, ranging from single-page views to 2-page, 3-page, 4-page, and multiview options. After choosing the style, select the right page size to fit the content while ensuring a balanced and appealing presentation.
