Use these answers to compare restaurant menu covers by insert size, page views, material, edge construction and presentation style. Great Menu Covers supplies reusable menu covers, clear menu sleeves, add-a-page inserts and related menu accessories for restaurants, cafes, bars, hotels, clubs and other hospitality businesses. We offer clear plastic menu covers, heat-welded menu sleeve pockets, stitched vinyl-trim and leatherette-trim cafe menu covers, RigidCore 16 clear menu covers, imprinted menu covers, add-a-page inserts and menu cover stiffener boards. Options vary by insert size, page-view count, trim, color and construction. Menu cover sizes normally refer to the printed insert size, not the finished outside dimensions. For example, an 8.5x11 menu cover is designed to hold an 8.5x11 printed menu page. Confirm the paper size, portrait or landscape orientation and desired page views before ordering. A page view is one visible menu-page face available to the customer. A 2-page view cover displays two visible pages when open. Covers with 4, 6, 8 or 12 page views provide additional visible menu pages for larger food, drink, wine, dessert or specialty menus. Stitched menu covers use stitching through the trim or edge material to secure the cover layers and create a finished presentation edge. Heat-welded menu covers bond clear vinyl layers using heat and pressure, creating a simple sealed edge without decorative stitched trim. Gauge refers to the approximate thickness of the clear vinyl. Higher gauge numbers generally indicate thicker material, although overall feel also depends on the vinyl type and cover construction. Our RigidCore 16 line uses 16-gauge clear vinyl with stitched color vinyl trim for a firmer, heavier feel than lighter flexible menu sleeves. Add-a-page inserts are clear components used to add menu page views to compatible menu covers. They are useful for specials, drinks, desserts, seasonal selections or expanded menu sections. Compatibility depends on the existing menu cover size and construction. A stiffener board is a rigid backing sheet placed behind a printed menu insert inside a flexible cover or sleeve. It helps lightweight menu pages lie flatter, feel firmer and resist bending or curling. A stiffener board is an internal support component, not a finished menu cover. Yes. Custom menu cover projects may include nonstandard insert sizes, page-view configurations, trim and color selections, or an imprint with a restaurant name, logo or menu title. Availability depends on the selected cover style, quantity and production requirements. Wipe menu covers with a soft, non-abrasive cloth using mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners and harsh chemicals that could damage clear vinyl, colored trim, printed artwork or foil imprints. Menu covers should not be placed in a dishwasher unless a specific product is expressly described as dishwasher safe. In-stock products generally ship the same day or the next business day. Made-to-order menu covers usually ship within 5 to 10 business days. Larger, custom or imprinted orders may require additional production time, so contact us when an exact delivery schedule is important. Samples are available for many menu cover styles so buyers can evaluate material, clarity, construction and fit before ordering a larger quantity.
