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.

There are various binding styles for menu covers, each with its own benefits. 

• The standard option is four corner album panels.

• Optional bar panels offer a different modern aesthetic.

• Metal clips and rubber bands work well for board displays.

• Exposed or hidden screws provide sleek binding options.

• Elastic cords offer a simple way to hold folded sheets.

• Ring binders allow for easy page changes and hold more content.

• Page protectors add durability.

Selecting the perfect size for your menu cover balances style and functionality, ensuring easy navigation for staff and guests. A well-organized menu contributes to a seamless ordering process and overall dining satisfaction. Standard sizes streamline design and printing for added cost efficiency, while custom sizes offer a unique, personalized look.
