Or For a menu that reads like a book, there’s no better option than stapled menu printing. These restaurant menu books are perfect for extensive food and drinks menus, where one sheet of paper isn’t enough. Add between 8 and 20 printed pages to create a large menu that can fit all of your dishes, courses and drinks inside.
You can choose to keep your cover the same thickness as the inside pages (AKA self cover) or choose a thicker stock to give your print that hardback menu cover feel. Add a lamination to your cover for extra protection from splashes!
We use a saddle stitch binding technique to bind your pages together, which involves stitching a metal staple up the centre, to keep your pages nice and secure.
Here are all our finished stapled menu sizes:
- A6: 105mm x 148mm (or, 210mm x 148mm when flat)
- A5: 148mm x 210mm (or, 296mm x 210mm when flat)

What paper type should I choose?
150gsm silk is our thickest option and is a classic paper type for quality menus. 115gsm silk is a thin, affordable option. 130gsm gloss is a high-shine finish.
What cover type should I choose?
For your cover, choose from three thicker stocks to protect the inside pages. 250gsm is our standard option. Go for 350gsm for a heavier cover, or writable if you want the cover to be filled in.
What does ‘pp’ mean?
‘Pp’ refers to printed pages.
How are my menus bound?
The menus are saddle-stitched, meaning they are bound with staples.
When will they be delivered?
Stapled menu 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 menu design?
You should upload your stapled menu 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.
