8.5" x 14" Restaurant Menus & To-Go Menus
Our 8.5" x 14" restaurant menus and to-go menus provide additional space for displaying food, beverages, prices, specials and other important information compared with a standard 8.5" x 11" menu. Available in portrait or landscape orientation, these legal-size menus can be printed on one or two sides and optionally folded for convenient distribution. They are an excellent choice for breakfast, lunch, dinner and brunch menus, as well as takeout and carryout menus.
Printed menus give your customers an easy-to-read reference for your offerings while providing a professional presentation for your restaurant.

The larger legal-size format provides additional room for food and beverage menus, photographs, descriptions, prices, daily specials and promotional offers.

About 8.5" x 14" Restaurant Menu & To-Go Menu Printing
Our 8.5" x 14" restaurant menus and to-go menus are printed on high-quality paper substrates using professional high-speed digital printing presses. The larger legal-size format provides additional space for menu items, descriptions, photographs, pricing and other information while still providing a practical format for restaurant and takeout use.
Lighter text-weight papers provide an economical and easy-to-fold option for to-go menus, while heavier cover-weight papers provide a more substantial finished menu and are well suited for use with protective menu covers. Menus can be printed in black or full-color CMYK ink on one or both sides and folded using the available half-fold or tri-fold/letter-fold options.
Customer-supplied PDF files are pre-flighted for technical errors before printing. If you need help creating your menu, our professional graphic design services can create a custom menu and provide a PDF proof for your approval before production.
