What Are Custom Menu Cards?
Printigly, Bangalore's printing specialist since 1984, produces custom menu cards from ₹149 — 350GSM laminated art card in A4 or A5, full colour, for restaurants, cafes, hotels, and cloud kitchens. A beautifully printed menu card is the first touchpoint between your brand and your diner. It sets tone, communicates quality, and directly influences order value. We print single-page menus, bi-fold, and tri-fold formats, with durable lamination that withstands daily handling.

Who Needs Menu Cards?
Every food-service business benefits from professionally printed menus. Restaurants need durable laminated menu cards that survive daily service. Cafes and bakeries print compact A5 menus that fit on small tables. Hotels print food-and-beverage menus for in-room dining and banquet packages. Cloud kitchens include printed menus as inserts with delivery orders to encourage repeat business. Bars and lounges design drinks menus with atmospheric photography. Tiffin services and caterers hand out price-list cards to corporate clients. A printed menu always outperforms a chalkboard or screen when it comes to perceived quality.
Pricing & Quantities
Menu cards start at ₹149 per piece. Pricing varies by size, finish, and quantity — larger runs lower the per-unit cost substantially. Restaurants typically order 50–200 pieces per refresh; we also print short runs of 10–25 for trials or seasonal specials. Laminated menus are priced higher than unlaminated but last 5–10× longer in daily use. Request a quote for standing monthly orders at discounted rates.
How We Print
We print menu cards on calibrated digital offset presses, ensuring food photography looks appetising and brand colours are consistent across the entire run. After printing, cards go through our industrial laminator for a bubble-free, edge-to-edge finish. Bi-fold and tri-fold menus are scored and folded by machine for crisp, even creases. We conduct a colour proof check on the first sheet of every run before full production proceeds. Orders before noon ship same day or next business day.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do laminated menu cards last?
Gloss or matte laminated 350GSM menu cards typically last 6–12 months with daily restaurant use — wiping down with a damp cloth is fine. Soft-touch laminate is slightly more delicate. For very high-traffic environments, consider adding a protective pouch or menu board sleeve.
Can I update prices without reprinting the whole menu?
If you plan frequent price changes, we recommend designing your menu with a modular layout — printed headers and descriptions with blank price columns filled by a sticker or stamp. Alternatively, order in smaller batches more frequently; short-run digital printing makes this cost-effective.
Do you offer design services for menu cards?
Yes. Our in-house design team can create a menu layout from your content, brand colours, and logo. Share your food items, descriptions, and pricing and we will deliver a print-ready design for your approval before printing.
