Step 1: Design and preparation
The first step towards printing your menu folders is the creation of a design that reflects your brand identity and appeals to its guests. You can fall back on our expertise and experience. We would be happy to advise you on choosing the right colors, materials and printing techniques.
The art of design
A well thought -out design is the key to a successful menu folder. It should not only be aesthetically appealing, but also functional and user -friendly. Here are some important aspects that you should consider when designing your menu folders:
- Consistence with your brand : make sure that the design of the menu folder integrates the colors, fonts and the logo of your restaurant.

Tips for the perfect design of your menu folders

Typography and readability
Choosing the right font is just as important as the choice of colors. The font should be easy to read and fit the style of your restaurant. Avoid ornate or too small fonts that could affect readability.

Images and graphics can additionally upgrade your menu folders and give them an individual note. Make sure that the images have a high resolution and fit well with the overall design. Also consider whether you may want to use special illustrations or icons to make the design unique.
