Indoor Menu Board Printing for Retail and Hospitality
At Printed Today, we specialise in high-quality Indoor Menu Board Printing for shops, cafés, and hospitality venues across the UK. Our rigid menu boards are crafted from durable, lightweight PVC foam sheets that ensure sharp text clarity and vibrant imagery, perfect for enhancing your indoor signage boards. Whether you seek a single shop wall menu or a comprehensive set of wall mounted menu boards, our service offers flexibility in size, finish, and turnaround speed to meet your unique needs.
Choose from 5 mm foamex for standard wall-mounted shop menu boards or 10 mm foamex for more robust freestanding displays. Both options provide the strength needed for professional presentation while being easy to mount, update, or replace as your offerings evolve.
Material Thickness Options

- 10 mm Foamex – Recommended for freestanding or double-sided indoor menu signage, providing extra durability and impact resistance in high-traffic areas.
Artwork Preparation for Indoor Menu Boards

- Use PDF, AI, EPS, PSD, PNG, or JPEG formats at 150–300 dpi to ensure crisp text and vibrant images.
- Include 3–5 mm bleed and outline all fonts to maintain accurate reproduction of menu text.
Each file is manually reviewed before production. If adjustments are necessary, we will contact you before printing begins to ensure your indoor menu boards align perfectly with your brand standards.
