If your menus are constantly tearing, smudging, or getting soaked in sauces and sanitizer—you're not alone. And if you’re tired of reprinting them every time one wears out, it might be time to level up with EndurACE menus.
These synthetic, waterproof, and tear-resistant menus offer next-level durability without the need for lamination. They’re perfect for restaurants, cafés, food trucks, and catering services that want menus that last.
In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through how to design, order, and get the most out of your EndurACE menus—step by step.
🔍 Step 1: Understand What EndurACE Menus Are
EndurACE is a type of synthetic stock that looks and feels like traditional paper but is made from a plastic-based material.
Key Features:
-
100% waterproof
-
Tear-resistant (no more ripped corners!)
-
Writable with pen or pencil
-
No lamination required
-
Matte finish for readability and elegance
✅ Perfect for indoor, outdoor, and high-turnover food environments.
🎨 Step 2: Design Your Menu for Clarity and Durability
Designing for EndurACE is similar to designing for regular paper menus, but keep the following in mind:
Tips for Great Menu Design:
-
Use bold headings to separate sections (e.g., Appetizers, Mains, Drinks)
-
High-contrast colors print best on matte synthetic paper
-
Stick to simple fonts for maximum legibility
-
Leave room between items so menus don’t feel cluttered
-
Avoid small text (since these menus are built to last, make them easy to read for all ages)
💡 Add a QR code for online ordering or nutritional info—EndurACE menus handle scannable graphics beautifully.
📐 Step 3: Choose the Right Size and Fold Style
EndurACE menus come in multiple sizes and folds:
| Size | Best For |
|---|---|
| 8.5" x 11" | Standard menu, one-pager |
| 11" x 17" | Full menu with multiple sections |
| 8.5" x 14" | Mid-size for lunch or combo menus |
| Tri-Fold or Z-Fold | To-go menus, takeout flyers |
🧾 Pro tip: For outdoor dining or food trucks, go with flat menus that are easy to sanitize and store.
