The Menu Gets Four Stars - Using Specialty Paper To Make Menus

In a recent Newsweek article entitled "How to Read a Menu," Jennie Yarbroff writes about her dining experience with restaurant critic and author Frank Bruni as they dine together at The Standard Grill in New York's meatpacking district.
He's lukewarm about food, but the menu gets four stars. "I love the paper stock," he says, rubbing the heavy ecru sheet between his fingers. "It feels like it could have been Elle Woods' résumé in Legally Blonde. If I ever have to send out résumés, I'm going to do it on this paper stock."

I'd imagine that Bruni's excitement is exactly the kind of enthusiasm that restaurant owners and managers are envisioning when they carefully choose the presentation of their menus, starting with a fine card stock.

A distinctive and well presented restaurant menu conveys to diners that this restaurant cares about presentation, starting with the menu and presumably carrying over into the food that is served.

LCI Paper Japanese Linen Card Stock

As the orders come in for LCI Paper's dozens and dozens of different specialty papers and card stocks, I sometimes wonder how they're being used. Many of our customers are individuals making their own invitations, but we also sell to businesses that want to break through the clutter and present one of a kind mailings for marketing or other business communications. And I've spoken to a number of restaurant owners and managers that regularly order our paper for their menus. Our metallic specialty papers and card stocks, like the Aspire Petallics brand, are popular choices, but I wonder what kind of impact one of our Japanese linens or Gmund Digital brands in their textured finishes would make.

If you're looking for a unique specialty paper for your menu, a great place to start is our 8 1/2 x 14 Card Stock Paper, a popular size for menus.
