Print the Menu That Closes the Booking
When you're not standing at the table, the menu makes the pitch for you. It lays out your dishes, your packages, and your prices in a layout a client reads over coffee or carries home from a tasting. Print it coated for rich food photography or uncoated so a guest can jot notes, fold it or keep it flat, with runs of 50 from $57.11 and a 4.5 out of 5 rating across 25 reviews.
These menus earn their keep at every booking. They cost pennies each at volume, they carry a full pricing tier a screen would bury, and the paper in a client's hand does half the selling for you. Want to see how catering menus sit next to the rest of the lineup? Browse every style on menus printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.
The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 50 starts at $57.11, and the per-menu cost keeps sliding as the count climbs, so printing for a full season of events costs far less per menu than a single tasting batch. Tap any tier below to see the live total and exactly how much each step up saves before you commit.
What Are Catering Menus?
Catering menus are printed menus a caterer or event company hands to clients, printed full color in 7 sizes from 4.25" x 11" up to 11" x 25.5", on coated 100# Gloss Text or writeable 70# Uncoated Text. People reach for them at tastings, package pitches, buffets, and drop-off orders, anywhere a guest needs the dishes and pricing right in front of them. Because the sheet is bigger than a card and folds, one menu can carry the whole offer. If you run a sit-down room instead of events, the Restaurant Menus cover that format, and the catering version sits right beside it for off-site work.
What Size Should a Catering Menu Be?
The right size comes down to how much you need to lay out. A 4.25" x 11" menu is the tall, narrow sheet that stands at a place setting or slides into a folder. A 5.5" x 8.5" or 8.5" x 11" gives a package menu room for photos and pricing tiers. An 8.5" x 14" or a full 11" x 25.5" reads like a shared spread a whole table can browse. All 7 sizes, both papers, both finishes and the fold options are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. Prefer a wipe-clean sheet for a buffet line? The Laminated Menus add a sealed finish, and the everyday Standard Menus are the plain pick.
Here are a few easy ways to make a catering menu pull its weight.
Pick a paper that fits the room
A coated 100# Gloss Text gives food photography a rich, saturated look, the right call for a client-facing package menu. The 70# Uncoated Text is natural and matte, so a guest can write a note or an order on it. A High Gloss UV Coating makes a cover photo snap and shrugs off a kitchen splash, while the Standard finish keeps it clean and cheap. Fold the sheet half for two panels or trifold for six, and a single menu splits appetizers, mains, and packages cleanly.
Design it without a designer
You do not need a design background to make a catering menu look sharp. Start from a professionally built layout in our menu design templates, then change the colors, copy and dishes in the online editor in minutes. A clean grid and one good food photo carry the whole page.
Already have your artwork? Skip the editor and download a press-ready blank instead. Each blank catering menu template is built at the real trim size with the bleed and safe margin already drawn in, so your layout never crowds the cut. Grab the size that matches your order below, drop your art in, and upload.

How Much Do Catering Menus Cost?
Catering menus start at $57.11 for 50, and the per-menu price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 25,000, so a cheap catering menu really comes down to how big a run you order. A 500-menu run is $155.97 and 1,000 run $180.13, which is where most caterers land for a season of events. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the run total and the true per-menu cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.
Can You Fold or Perforate a Catering Menu?
Yes. Every size prints flat, half fold for a clean two-panel menu, or trifold for a six-panel layout that separates courses and packages. You can also add perforation, so a tear-off order slip or RSVP lives right on the sheet and a client can hand part of it back. Pair a fold with full color on both sides and a finish that fits the room, and one printed menu does the work of a folder full of loose pages.
How Do Catering Menus Compare to the Rest of the Range?
Catering menus are the pick when you print for events and drop-offs, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing a wipe-clean laminated sheet, a sit-down restaurant menu, or a plain standard menu, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up catering menus against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

How Fast Can You Get Catering Menus?
Catering menus print on a 5 business day standard turnaround, and when a tasting or a booking moves up you can shift that to 2-day, Next-Day or even Same-Day production. Each step buys back time for a set percentage on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Same Day orders need to be approved by the daily cutoff to ship that day, and across 4OVER4, 99.8% of orders arrive on time with 82% shipping early. Compare every turnaround tier below and see exactly what the rush adds before you pick.

Catering menus are one stop in a much larger lineup, and you can scan the full print product range any time. If a laminated sheet, a restaurant menu or a plain standard menu would serve a job better, the rest of the family is one tap away. Each option shows its own starting price and links straight to its product page, so finding the right fit takes seconds.
