Product Overview
RigidCore 16 11x17 Clear Menu Cover with Stitched Color Border
RigidCore 16 Menu Covers start with a heavy-duty 16ga clear vinyl core, making them a structured choice for larger-format menus that need a cleaner and sturdier feel with a professional presentation. The clear front and back panels are heat-welded together before the stitched color vinyl border is added.
This welded-core construction gives the 11x17 menu cover added panel strength and structure, while the stitched vinyl trim and protective metal corners create a finished, restaurant-ready appearance. The clear front and back viewing areas display two menu pages while helping printed inserts stay flatter during repeated handling.
Clear Top Edge Detail

RigidCore 16 has a different top-edge look than many traditional stitched menu covers. The menu-loading edge at the top of the clear front pocket remains clear vinyl instead of having a stitched color trim strip across the opening.
This is an intentional part of the RigidCore 16 design. The clear panels are heat-welded first to create the structural core, then the stitched color vinyl border and metal corners are added around the outside for a framed presentation. The result is a cleaner clear front face while still giving the cover a finished color-border appearance.
Why Choose RigidCore 16?
- Heavy-duty 16ga clear vinyl core helps larger menu sheets feel more structured during use.
- Heat-welded clear panels create a strong front-to-back panel connection before the border is added.
- Stitched color vinyl border gives the cover a clean framed look for restaurant, cafe, bar, hotel, and hospitality menus.
- Protective metal corners add edge protection and a polished finished appearance.
- Cleaner front presentation reduces the visible pocket sleeve edge often seen on traditional pocket-style stitched covers.
- Two page views display one 11x17 menu sheet front and back.
Best Uses
Use this 11x17 RigidCore 16 cover for larger printed menus, brunch menus, lunch menus, dinner menus, drink menus, buffet menus, specials, hotel dining menus, event menus, or any hospitality setting where a clear menu cover needs more structure and a finished color-border presentation.
This cover can also be special ordered with magnetic strips or Velcro®-style hook&loop fastener strips added to the back for removable mounting on suitable walls, windows, counters, equipment, or metal surfaces. The removable attachment style makes it easy to take the cover down, change the printed insert, clean the wall or window surface, and place the menu cover back in position without messy tape, permanent adhesive, laminated sheets, or fixed plexiglass displays.
Removable mounting is especially useful for posted menus, ordering-line displays, buffet station menus, daily specials, happy-hour notices, seasonal offers, live entertainment notices, booth-wall menus, host stand information, and other printed materials that may need to be updated, moved, or removed between service periods.
