Questions
Buyer questions about this product, answered. Can't see yours? Ask below and our team will reply.
What sizes do Printed Menu Boards come in?
Printed Menu Boards come in 4 listed sizes, from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at £29.52 up to A1 (594 × 841 mm) at £55.58. In between: A2 (420 × 594 mm) and 500 × 700 mm. You can also type a custom size from 100 mm up to 2440 × 1220 mm. Prices are the lowest option for each size.
Which board material is right for these display boards?
Printed Menu Boards are printed on 5mm Foamex, 3mm Foamex and 3mm Di-Bond. Foamex (foamed PVC) is light and smooth: great indoors and in sheltered spots; thicker Foamex is stiffer over bigger sizes. Our Foamex vs Dibond vs Correx guide compares them side by side.
Can Printed Menu Boards go outside?
Foamex is best indoors or in sheltered outdoor spots; in full sun and weather it can bow over time. A laminate adds scuff resistance to the printed face. Every print fades slowly in strong sun, so face long-term signs away from full sun where you can. Printed Menu Boards are printed on 5mm Foamex, 3mm Foamex and 3mm Di-Bond.
What artwork options are there for Printed Menu Boards?
The Artwork choice on this page offers: "I will upload print-ready artwork" (free), "Add my text and logo to a clean layout (typesetting)" (£15), "Design it for me from my brief" (£35), "Redraw or vectorise my logo from a low-res file" (£50) and "Design a new logo for me" (£100). Design fees are fixed, show as their own line in the basket and cover the whole quantity of that item. Typesetting includes 1 proof and 2 rounds of changes; design from your brief includes 1 design and 2 rounds of changes. You can also design it yourself in the online designer at no charge.
How does the online designer work?
Yes. Open the designer from this page, pick a starting layout, add your logo, text and photos, and move things around on the canvas. Checks run as you work: sample text left in, text that is too small, items outside the safe area and low resolution images are flagged before you can approve. You approve exactly what you see, then add it to the basket. Designing and previewing is free; the on-screen preview carries a small watermark that is never printed. For Printed Menu Boards, set your file up at the size you order, for example A3 (297 × 420 mm).
What is the cheapest price for Printed Menu Boards?
The lowest price is £29.52, which is what the calculator opens on: material 3mm Foamex, size A3 · 297 × 420 mm and Sides Printed Single Sided. Every other combination is priced as you choose it, including faster turnaround, and that price is final because we do not add VAT. UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order and free when your goods total is £99 or more after any discount code (artwork and design fees do not count towards it).
How much is delivery for Printed Menu Boards?
UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order and free when your goods total is £99 or more after any discount code (artwork and design fees do not count towards it), so one display board at £29.52 on its own pays £7.95, and the charge disappears once your basket reaches £99. Mainland Scottish Highlands postcodes add £10 once per order. Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight are quoted before you order.
Which lamination should I choose for these display boards?
You can choose gloss (One Side), none or matt (One Side). Lamination is a thin clear film over the print. Gloss makes colours look richer, matt cuts glare and suits photos and writing, and soft touch gives a velvety feel. It also helps the surface resist scuffs. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. Printed Menu Boards are printed on 5mm Foamex, 3mm Foamex and 3mm Di-Bond.
Which sides printed should I choose for these display boards?
You can choose single Sided or double Sided. Single sided is printed on one face. Double sided prints both faces, for items seen from both directions, such as a flag or a board facing two ways. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. Printed Menu Boards are printed on 5mm Foamex, 3mm Foamex and 3mm Di-Bond.
Can Printed Menu Boards be printed on both sides?
Yes. Choose single Sided or double Sided in the options. Double sided suits boards seen from both directions, such as a sign on a fence by a road, or a board on a stake. Supply two pages in your file (front and back), and say if the back should be the same design. Printed Menu Boards are printed on 5mm Foamex, 3mm Foamex and 3mm Di-Bond.
Which Foamex thickness should I choose?
The options are 5mm Foamex and 3mm Foamex. 3mm is light and fine for small indoor signs and posters on walls. 5mm is stiffer and better for bigger boards, signs on posts and anything handled. If you are unsure which option suits your job, ask a question on this page or call 0161 315 1151.
Which profile cut should I choose for these display boards?
You can choose no or yes. Profile cut means the board is cut to the outline of your design instead of a plain rectangle. Supply the cut line with your artwork, or ask us to set it up. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. Printed Menu Boards are printed on 5mm Foamex, 3mm Foamex and 3mm Di-Bond.
What drilling options are there for Printed Menu Boards?
You can choose all corners, no or top corners. Drilling puts fixing holes in the corners so you can screw or cable tie the board straight up, instead of drilling it yourself. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. Printed Menu Boards are printed on 5mm Foamex, 3mm Foamex and 3mm Di-Bond.
Can my designer send the file straight to you?
Yes. You can upload your file on the product page, or place the order and upload later: we email you after you order. Your designer can send the file to us by email or WhatsApp with your order number, so it does not have to come through you. The turnaround clock starts once your order and artwork are confirmed, so send the file early if you have a deadline. Printed Menu Boards come in 4 listed sizes, from A3 (297 × 420 mm) to A1 (594 × 841 mm).
What resolution does my artwork need for these display boards?
For items read close up, aim for 300 dpi at the finished size. At 300 dpi an A1 (594 × 841 mm) design needs about 7,016 × 9,933 pixels. Logos and text are best as vector artwork, which stays sharp at any size. Photos taken from websites or social media are usually far too small; our file check flags images that may print soft.
Which file types do you accept for Printed Menu Boards?
A PDF at the finished size is best, with fonts embedded or converted to outlines. We also take AI, EPS and SVG, and high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF files. Word, PowerPoint and Canva files are fine as a starting point, but export a full-quality PDF if you can. You can upload up to 3 files of 25 MB each on the product page, or upload later: we email you after you order. Printed Menu Boards can also be designed in our online designer, where you approve exactly what you see.
What happens if my file is not good enough to print?
Our file check catches the usual problems: the wrong size, no bleed, low resolution images and text too close to the edge. We tell you what needs fixing before anything is printed, and you can send a new file. If you would rather we sort it, the typesetting option (£15, 1 proof and 2 rounds of changes) sets your text and logo on a clean layout. For Printed Menu Boards, set your file up at the size you order, for example A3 (297 × 420 mm).
Do I get the print file of my design?
Yes. When you order printing with a design made in our online designer, the high resolution PDF is attached to your order, and once the order is paid you can download it from My Account and your confirmation email. If you only want the file and no printing, approve the design and buy the print-ready PDF for £9.99. It is digital content, so the right to cancel ends once the download starts. For Printed Menu Boards, set your file up at the size you order, for example A3 (297 × 420 mm).
What quantities can I order?
The quantity is part of the options: from 1 up to 1000 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 and more). The price shown is the total for the quantity you pick, so divide by the quantity to compare the price each before you order. For a bigger run than the options list, ask for a quote with the size, quantity and deadline. Printed Menu Boards come in 4 listed sizes, from A3 (297 × 420 mm) to A1 (594 × 841 mm).
Will the price change at checkout?
Only delivery is added. The goods price you see in the calculator is final, with no VAT added. UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order and free when your goods total is £99 or more after any discount code (artwork and design fees do not count towards it). Any artwork or design fee you choose shows as its own line in the basket, so you can see exactly what you are paying for. Printed Menu Boards start at £29.52 before delivery.
Can you deliver to Northern Ireland, the Highlands or the islands?
Yes, with a difference in price. Mainland Scottish Highlands postcodes, for example around Inverness, Fort William, Oban and Thurso, pay the mainland rate plus £10 once per order, even when the order qualifies for free delivery. Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight are quoted before you order: use Get a quote or call 0161 315 1151. We do not deliver outside the UK. Printed Menu Boards start at £29.52 before delivery.
I have a deadline. Is there a faster option for these display boards?
Yes. Express makes these display boards ready to dispatch in 2 working days on the opening option, priced at £39.36 against £29.52 on Saver (5 days). To plan back from a date, add 1 to 3 working days for the courier after dispatch and allow for artwork: production starts once your order and artwork are confirmed. If the date is very tight, call 0161 315 1151 before you order.
What is the difference between Printed Menu Boards and Foamex Strut Cards?
Printed Menu Boards have 4 listed sizes from A3 (297 × 420 mm); Foamex Strut Cards has 4 from A4 (210 × 297 mm). Prices start at £29.52 and £61.30 respectively. Standard turnaround is 3 working days against 5. Pick the one whose size and material fit where it will go; both pages show live prices for every option.
Printed Menu Boards or Printed Chalk Boards: which should I choose?
Printed Menu Boards have 4 listed sizes from A3 (297 × 420 mm); Printed Chalk Boards comes in 1000 × 600 mm. Prices start at £29.52 and £93.94 respectively. Standard turnaround is 3 working days against 5. Pick the one whose size and material fit where it will go; both pages show live prices for every option.
Can these display boards stand on an easel?
Yes. A rigid board sits well on a standard display easel. The thicker Foamex options are stiffer and stay straight on an easel. Easels are not included, so use your own or the venue's. Printed Menu Boards are printed on 5mm Foamex, 3mm Foamex and 3mm Di-Bond.
Can I trim or drill these display boards myself?
Foamex and Correx cut with a sharp craft knife and a straight edge: score a few times, then snap or cut through. Drill fixing holes with an ordinary drill bit, going slowly, and keep holes at least 10 mm from the edge. Cutting into the print loses the bleed, so allow for it in the design. Printed Menu Boards are printed on 5mm Foamex, 3mm Foamex and 3mm Di-Bond.
Should my artwork be CMYK or RGB?
Supply CMYK where you can. RGB files are converted to CMYK for print, which can make very bright greens, blues and oranges look slightly duller. If you need a brand colour matched, give us the Pantone reference and we match it as closely as the material allows. Small differences between a screen and the printed item are normal, because screens give off light and print reflects it. For Printed Menu Boards, set your file up at the size you order, for example A3 (297 × 420 mm).
What does the designer check before I approve?
It looks for sample text you have not replaced, text below the smallest size that prints clearly, anything too close to the edge or outside the safe area, logos or photos too low in resolution for the size, and items overlapping text. Blocking problems must be fixed before you can approve; warnings you can accept if you are happy. The checks do not read your spelling, so check names, numbers and dates yourself. For Printed Menu Boards, set your file up at the size you order, for example A3 (297 × 420 mm).
Can I order several different designs in one order?
Yes. Add each design to the basket as its own line with its own file or online design, then check out once. Delivery is charged once per order, and becomes free when the goods total reaches £99. If several lines use the same artwork, choose "Same artwork as another item in my basket" so you only pay one design fee. Printed Menu Boards come in 4 listed sizes, from A3 (297 × 420 mm) to A1 (594 × 841 mm).
Can I reorder the same display board later?
Yes. Order the same product and options again and upload the same file. If you designed it online, the print PDF from your first paid order is in My Account and your confirmation email, ready to upload again. If anything like a phone number or price has changed, update the artwork before you reorder. Printed Menu Boards start at £29.52 before delivery.
Can I return these display boards if I change my mind?
No. These display boards are printed to your order, and the 14-day right to cancel does not apply to goods made to your specification (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, regulation 28(1)(b)). You can cancel for a full refund before production starts. If an item is faulty, damaged or not what you ordered, your Consumer Rights Act 2015 rights apply and we reprint or refund. Printed Menu Boards start at £29.52 before delivery.
Do I need an account to order?
No. You can check out as a guest and pay by debit or credit card, processed securely by Stripe. Creating an account at checkout lets you see past orders in My Account and download the print files of designs you made online. Either way you get an order confirmation email and a tracking email when your order is dispatched. Printed Menu Boards are made to order by our UK production partner.
Can I get a VAT invoice?
No. We are not VAT registered, so we do not charge VAT and cannot issue a VAT invoice. You get an order confirmation email with the items, options and total paid, which works as your receipt. Because no VAT is added, the price you see in the calculator is the price you pay for the goods, with delivery shown at checkout. Printed Menu Boards are made to order by our UK production partner.
What if I spot a mistake after I order?
Contact us straight away on 0161 315 1151 or WhatsApp with your order number. If production has not started we can take a corrected file, or cancel the order and refund you in full. Once production starts the order cannot be changed. Printing that matches the design you approved or the file you supplied is not a fault, so check spelling, phone numbers and dates carefully before you order. Printed Menu Boards start at £29.52 before delivery.
Can I get a quote for a large order or an unusual size of Printed Menu Boards?
Yes. Use the Get a quote page and tell us the size, quantity, material, deadline and delivery postcode, and attach any artwork you have. We reply by email or WhatsApp with a price. For many jobs you will not need to: this product takes custom sizes from 100 mm up to 2440 × 1220 mm straight in the calculator. Printed Menu Boards start at £29.52 before delivery.
Can someone help me choose the right options for these display boards?
Yes. Call us on 0161 315 1151 or message us on WhatsApp and tell us where the display board will go, how long it needs to last and your deadline. You can also ask a question on this page; our team answers and the question may be published to help other buyers. For a price on something the calculator does not cover, use Get a quote. Printed Menu Boards are made to order by our UK production partner.
What payment methods can I use for Printed Menu Boards?
By debit or credit card at checkout. Payments are processed securely by Stripe, and we never see or store your full card number. Your order goes into production once payment is taken and your order and artwork are confirmed. For a large or unusual order you can ask for a quote first. Printed Menu Boards come in 4 listed sizes, from A3 (297 × 420 mm) to A1 (594 × 841 mm).
What if my order arrives damaged?
Check it when it arrives. If anything is damaged or missing, tell us within 48 hours with photos of the item and the packaging, through the contact form or on WhatsApp, with your order number. Do not send anything back until we reply; we then arrange a reprint or a refund. This does not affect your legal rights, which the returns page explains. On the opening option, Printed Menu Boards are ready to dispatch in 5 working days on Saver or 2 on Express.
How do I clean these display boards?
Wipe with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry. Do not use solvents, scouring pads or strong cleaners, which can dull or lift the print. Store spare boards flat so they do not bow. Printed Menu Boards are printed on 5mm Foamex, 3mm Foamex and 3mm Di-Bond.
