A large selection of menu folders from a variety of materials for different budgets.

After visitors enter a cafe, restaurant or any other similar establishment, first of all they rate its exterior and interior, look at the table setting, and analyse the uniform of serving staff. All these elements are given a lot of attention, so much so that sometimes these details completely absorb the importance of the folder for the menu, and completely in vain. Such product is intended, first of all, to establish a kind of dialogue between the institution and the client. Menu folder should instill confidence in the visitor and at the same time emphasise the status and high standards of service that await for clients.

Creating a custom menu folder for a cafe or restaurant is not an easy task. This accessory is able to become the "face" of the kitchen and convey all benefits that the visitor receives when choosing the appropriate dish. In order to highlight all the merits of the establishment as profitably as possible and convey its vibe to the guest, the menu is frequently used. The menu should be very pleasant to look at it as long as possible and flip through its pages, and therefore it is recommended to design such a folder in a uniform style, combining with interior details so that it portrays own individual elements.

The most common materials for manufacturing and popular fastening methods
The material for making such product should also have special meaning. First of all, it should be practical, as it's use is planned multiple times, and the appearance has to remain on a high level. It can be cheap so-called "vinyl paper," paper with lamination, decorated brightly and attractively, any of the types of eco-leather of various colours and shades. Professional production of menu folders from natural leather indicates the high status of the establishment.

The folder's finishing intended for the menu is also very diverse. The logo applied to such products has recently become an increasingly relevant design option. For this purpose, a polygraphic method or embossing is used, while embroidery or logo applications are often used on leather folders.

Such decor is developed taking into account the general style of a cafe or restaurant, the convenience and practicality of using folders for menus of this type is also taken into consideration. It should be as comfortable as possible for everyone to work with them: not only visitors, but also the staff of the institution.

Another important factor in the process of creating a custom menu folder is the method of page attachment. The simplest and cheapest is the bracket - simple and concise, the only disadvantage of which is that it is suitable only for small menus, where the number of dishes is very limited.

Among other popular methods of connecting sheets is - spring, the use of this method is also relatively inexpensive, and its practicality is no doubt. It is not just about buying a folder for the menu, but also firstly choosing the right design for it in order to create a stylish modern product, and to make the spring itself a peculiar highlight of such a design.

A lot of restaurant owners like this method, in which one sheet can be easily changed to another. In this case, rings are the ideal fastening method. Rivets and grommets are often used instead of them, which can advantageously point up the design and highlight the menu of a particular institution among others. In such folder, it is impossible to replace pages, but not everyone needs such a function.

More expensive products imply the use of special bolted mechanisms. You can use a similar menu folder for a longer period of time. Such fasteners imply easy replacement of sheets in the menu, especially if it is quite voluminous and consists of a large number of pages.

One of the other ways for a non-standard menu folder with an individual design is fastening with laces, ribbons or rubber bands.

Internal content - what does it hide?
If you look inside a folder, you can see that its internal design is traditionally made in a single style with the logo of the institution or the design in which its interior is maintained. The most common option is text with the names and descriptions of dishes, supplemented with bright, appetising photos. The last, of course, can be taken off the Internet, but it is much better to specially order the photography of dishes from own establishment in order to support individuality and corporate style. Professional designers specialising in this area will advise on the correct placement and processing of photos to make them more appetising.
