    • 8.5" x 14" (Legal)
    • 11" x 17" (Tabloid)
  • Premium & Industrial Paper Stocks: Choose from four distinct finishes tailored to your specific environment:

    • New! Laminated: Extra protection for a traditional, sturdy feel.
    • New! Synthetic: A high-tech, waterproof , and tear-resistant option built for the toughest restaurant environments.
    • Please note the Laminate and Synthetic finishes are only available on these new sizes for now. 
  • Built for Durability: Our new Laminated and Synthetic options ensure your menus remain pristine, even in high-moisture or heavy-use settings.

  • Versatile Application: While perfect for Events & Occasions , these larger sizes and durable materials are specifically engineered to meet the demand for long-lasting Business Consumables.

The new menu sizes and paper types are a great addition :blush:!

However, the description sizes for all the “folded menus” look wrong. They don’t match the actual template dimensions. I added a one-inch grid over each template to measure them, and the written descriptions are double (or more) the size of the actual templates.

These are the portrait sizes:
The 8.5" x 11" menu = 5.5" x 8.5" (folded) and 11" x 8.5" (unfolded)
The 8.5" x 14" menu = 7" x 8.5" (folded) and  14" x 8.5" (unfolded)
The 11" x 17" menu = 8.5" x 11" (folded) and  17" x 11" (unfolded)

The descriptions say:
Folded Dimensions : 8.5" x 11" (portrait); 11" x 8.5" (landscape)
Unfolded Dimensions : 17" x 11" (portrait); 22" x 8.5" (landscape)

Folded Dimensions : 8.5" x 14" (portrait); 14" x 8.5" (landscape)
Unfolded Dimensions : 17" x 14" (portrait); 28" x 8.5"

Folded Dimensions : 11" x 17" (portrait); 17" x 11" (landscape)
Unfolded Dimensions : 22" x 17" (portrait); 34" x 11" (landscape)

One more thought ! 🤔 The “Right” page is currently displayed before the “Left” page in the layer thumbnails. The templated text is also ordered that way in the “Edit” window. I think this should be reversed, with the “Left” page appearing first in both views, so customers can edit the text in the correct order.

Thanks @SheaPrints   for pointing this out. We have issued some edits to the description which should be live soon.
