About this job
A menu set is the group of printed pieces a restaurant puts in front of guests: food, drinks and set-lunch offers. Restaurants and cafes in Singapore often print each section separately, so a drinks list can be updated without reprinting the food menu.
The photos show colour used to separate the sections. The food menu has a red cover with white line drawings of dishes, the drinks booklet is deep green with line drawings of raised glasses, and the lunch sets card is a slim red strip with a table-setting illustration. The green cover has a visible textured finish. The booklets are saddle-stitched, which suits a menu with a modest page count, and the inside spread keeps drinks in clear columns with small illustrations in the margins. A slim card is easy to slip into a holder or place on a table.
Menus are produced from artwork that is checked line by line, because a wrong item name or spelling is easy to miss. A proof is approved before printing. Booklets are printed on a larger sheet, folded and stitched through the spine, then trimmed to size. Textured stock is checked for how fine line art and white type sit on it, and pieces in each colour are counted and packed by section.
Questions
What did EZ Print print for CiBO Italiano?
A restaurant menu set for CiBO Italiano: a red food menu booklet, a dark green drinks menu booklet, a slim red lunch-set card and matching white line-art illustrations. The saddle-stitched booklets show textured cover stock, and the drinks inside spread lists spirits and soft drinks beside small line drawings.
What binding suits a restaurant menu booklet?
Saddle stitching suits menus with a lower page count, as pages fold and are held by staples through the spine. Longer drinks lists may suit a different binding if the page count is high.
Why print food and drinks menus separately?
Separate pieces let a restaurant update a drinks list or a lunch offer without reprinting everything else. Different cover colours also help staff and guests find the right menu quickly.
Can a menu be printed on textured stock?
Yes. Textured stock gives a tactile cover, but fine line art and small text should be checked on the proof because the surface can soften very thin lines.
Can EZ Print print something similar on a deadline?
Same-day and urgent printing available. Subject to artwork approval, payment, print type and production availability. Timing confirmed per job.
