Kraft paper menus carry a specific personality: industrial, handcrafted, intentional. The brown stock stands out on a table the same way a reclaimed wood surface stands out in a dining room. 18PT Uncoated Kraft, 4/4 full color both sides printed over the natural brown base. Two sizes: 8.5×11" for standard single-page service and 11×17" for a statement-size full menu. No coating; the natural feel is the finish. Works with white-mask printing or direct color print depending on your design. Casual-fine restaurants, gastropubs, burger bars, taco shops, artisan pizza, any brand that leans into the handmade aesthetic.

Frequently asked questions

What paper and coating do you use for restaurant menus?

100lb Gloss Cover stock with Aqueous coating. The Aqueous coating creates a wipe-clean surface that holds up to daily handling, spills, and the inevitable grease smudge, without becoming sticky or yellowing over time. It's the standard for restaurant menus that see 100+ covers per night.

How often should I reprint my menus?

Most NJ restaurants reprint menus seasonally (every 3–4 months) to update pricing, swap in seasonal items, and refresh worn copies. A 500-piece seasonal reprint cycle at L&B is more cost-effective per menu than ordering 100 copies four times. Call us for volume pricing on reprint programs.

What's the minimum quantity?

Our minimum is 50 menus. A typical 30-seat restaurant needs 40–60 menus in rotation at any given time. Most of our restaurant clients in NJ order 100–200 so they always have fresh replacements on hand without running short.

What file format do you need?

PDF is preferred. CMYK, 300 DPI, with 0.125" bleed on all sides. Make sure prices, item names, and descriptions are set in CMYK (not RGB) for color accuracy. Our free design review checks text legibility, bleed, and coating compatibility before printing.

Can you print menus that fold?

Yes. Our 11×17" menus fold to a standard 8.5×11" presentation. If you need a scored and folded menu, specify that at order time. We score before folding so there's no cracking on coated stock.

How long does menu printing take?

3–5 business days after proof approval. If you're updating menus for a Friday dinner service, call us Monday morning at 908.232.7770. We can often accommodate tight-deadline reprints.

What if something is wrong with my order?

The L&B Promise: if we make a printing error on our end, we'll reprint your order at no charge. In practice, it rarely gets that far. Our free design review process catches virtually every issue before we go to press. We stand behind every job. Call us at 908.232.7770 if you ever have a concern.
