Designing your own custom laminated menu doesn’t have to be daunting. Here’s how to set up your artwork.

• The finished size of an A5 booklet menu is 296mm x 210mm, so set your artwork up at 302mm x 216mm to add 3mm bleed to both sides
• Closed size: 148mm x 210mm
• See our stapled booklet guide for more help
• Set your colour mode as CMYK
• Use high resolution images (at least 300dpi)
• Embed or flatten your fonts
• Here’s exactly how to make a booklet for beginners

*Lamination is applied to both the inside pages and outside cover.

What paper are wedding menus printed on?

All inside pages will be 250gsm silk, which is a sturdy stock perfect for wedding menu booklets.

What cover type should I choose?

For the outside cover pages, you can either choose 250gsm (same as the inside pages), or a thicker 350gsm.

What is matt lamination?

Matt lamination is a soft, smooth finish that gives print a premium feel. It’s an extra coating that goes on top of the silk stock.

What does ‘pp’ mean?

Pp refers to printed pages. This is the total number of pages your booklet will have, including the front and back cover. 

When will my booklets be delivered?

Booklet orders approved by 6:30pm will be dispatched for delivery within two working days. Delivery takes a further working day. For example, if you approved your order by 6:30pm on a Monday, we’d dispatch your order on Wednesday and it’d be delivered on Thursday.

How do I upload my booklet design?

You should upload your booklet artwork after placing your order. To do this, complete your order and then email your artwork to our Studio team at artwork@instantprint.co.uk who’ll then set it up for print for you.
