FAQs

Lamination vs. synthetic—what’s better?
Lamination gives a premium wipeable shell and works with any paper. Synthetic is a single waterproof/tear-proof sheet—no edges to delaminate and great for patios.

Can I write on them?
Yes—choose uncoated (for paper) or request matte laminate/matte synthetic for pencil/Sharpie compatibility.

Will folds crack?
We score heavier cover stocks and use durable lamination/synthetic to prevent cracking.

What thickness for dine-in?
3 mil lamination is everyday; 5 mil feels stiffer and lasts longer. 10–14 mil synthetic equals a rigid, wipeable card without lamination.

Do you design menus?
Yes—menu layout, item hierarchy, allergen icons, and QR landing pages available.
