Coffee Shop Menu Board Printing
Printed Today offers expert Coffee Shop Menu Board Printing tailored for cafés, coffee houses, and bistros throughout the UK. Our cafe wall menus are crafted on robust, lightweight PVC foam sheets that ensure crisp text clarity, vibrant coffee imagery, and durability against daily use. Whether you need a single menu board or a complete venue set, our service allows you to customise size, finish, and delivery speed to suit your needs.
Choose from 5 mm foamex for standard wall-mounted coffee menus and 10 mm foamex for freestanding or double-sided indoor coffee signage. Both options provide the necessary rigidity for a professional look while being easy to install, update, or replace as your menu evolves.
Material Thickness Options
- 5 mm Foamex – perfect for wall-mounted coffee menu boards, counter displays, and small price lists. Lightweight yet sturdy enough to remain flat and prevent warping.
- 10 mm Foamex – ideal for freestanding menu boards, double-sided displays, and high-traffic areas that demand extra durability and impact resistance.
Artwork Preparation for Coffee Menu Board Printing
- Upload your artwork during checkout or send files to [email protected].
- Acceptable formats: PDF, AI, EPS, PSD, PNG, or JPEG at 150–300 dpi for sharp text and coffee imagery.
- Include a 3–5 mm bleed and outline all fonts to ensure precise menu text reproduction.
Each file undergoes a manual review before production. If any adjustments are needed, we will contact you before printing to ensure your printed coffee menus align perfectly with your brand standards.
