Frequently asked questions

The minimum order quantity is 10.
Are the menus digitally or lithographically printed?
It depends on the quantity you order.

Gone are the days when only lithographic printing offered the standard of finish required and it was necessary to produce high numbers to make the unit costs practical. The high quality of modern digital printing now means small digital runs of 10, 25 and 50 are now quite feasible, making regular updates and developments easy which in turn improves your opportunities to profit from offers and seasonal variations.

Menus are printed in A4, A5 or DL.
