What is Synthetic Paper?

📄 The Material

Our synthetic paper is matte polyester — a smooth, non-porous plastic substrate. Unlike regular paper, it doesn't absorb water, grease, or oils. Liquids bead up on the surface and wipe right off.

The material can be used as-is (most common) or UV coated for an even more durable finish in extreme conditions.

UV Coating is a clear protective layer that enhances durability and resistance to scratches, fading, and harsh environmental conditions. It is a custom process.

📏 Thickness Options

8pt Plastic
Flexible, similar feel to 70# paper. Great for folded menus, tri-folds, and bi-folds.
11pt Plastic
Medium rigidity. Our most popular choice for single-sheet menus.
14pt Plastic
Extra rigid, premium feel. Best for menus that need to stand up or feel high-end.

Restaurant and bar operators are usually subject to a number of regulations that go from obtaining several licenses to Hygiene Codes and Standards.

The purpose of the codes and regulation, as you well know, is to ensure that only safe and wholesome food is provided to your clients, preventing foodborne diseases to be transmitted. During the pandemic, the CDC has issued additional considerations to keep in mind.

Frequently Asked Questions About Synthetic Menu Printing

With proper care, 2-3 years of daily use — much longer than paper (weeks to months) or lamination (6-12 months). Many of our restaurant customers report their synthetic menus lasting even longer in indoor settings.

Follow the recommended cleaning methods to preserve your menus

Prices vary based on quantity, pages, thickness, and folding options. Current examples :

  • 50 copies, single-side, 8pt plastic: $74.50 ($1.49/each)
  • 50 copies, single-side, 11pt plastic: $85.00 ($1.70/each)

Yes! 100% waterproof. You can submerge them in water, wipe them gently clean, and they're good as new. Perfect for poolside bars, beach restaurants, and any outdoor dining where spills and weather are concerns.

Super easy! Just wipe with:

  • Damp cloth or soft paper towel
  • Sanitizing wipe. No alcohol-based wipes. No chlorine-based wipes.
  • Water and soap solution
  • Diluted alcohol solution (water + tiny fraction of alcohol)

The menus wipe clean instantly and are ready for the next customer. No special cleaning products needed. Do not scrub. Scrubbing will damage the printed surface.

Not at all! The menus look elegant. Our synthetic menus have a slightly matte finish that looks high-end. The printing quality is actually superior to paper because the smooth synthetic surface allows for sharper images and more vibrant colors. They feel nice to hold, especially the thickest ones. When adding a layer (custom order) of gloss UV, the colors on the prints become even more vibrant and eye-catching.

No — synthetic is actually better than lamination!

Synthetic menus: Printed directly on a solid plastic sheet (polyester). The entire menu is one durable piece that won't peel, separate, or delaminate.

Laminated menus: Paper sandwiched between plastic films. The paper inside can still break, and the plastic layers can peel apart at edges, get cloudy over time, and crack when folded.
Laminated menus can be the right option if the menus will be subject to aggressive scrubbing.

Bottom line: Synthetic menus are more durable, stay clear longer, and fold without cracking.

Yes! We offer free design consultation to help small businesses create professional menus. We know you're not a graphic designer — that's why we:

  • Provide a free online design tool (easy drag-and-drop)
  • Offer design guidance and layout tips

On this specific line of polyester waterproofing synthetic paper, we do not recommend folding the 14pt thickness menus.

Multipage menus bound with coil binding are available.

Thickness options:

  • 8pt plastic: Flexible, great for folded menus.
    The thickness resembles a light cover stock, much stiffer.
  • 11pt plastic: Medium rigidity, most popular choice
    The thickness is similar to that of tags, or business cards. Does not fold on itself.
  • 14pt plastic: Extra rigid, premium feel
    Really thick, like thick postcards. The sheets hold stiff. Does not fold on itself
