What are the state requirements for disposable menus?

Many state governments are requiring restaurants to use disposable menus in order to assist prevent the spread of the coronavirus in dining rooms. The safest alternative for restaurants is to utilize disposable single-use menus, which are inexpensive to purchase in bulk and can be discarded after each use, guaranteeing that there is no point of contact between customers and the establishment.

Because a disposable menu is confined to a single sheet, it differs from the traditional dine-in menu presentation in that it is less formal. Many restaurants are cutting costs by temporarily presenting a more limited menu in order to save money. If you have a lengthy menu, consider printing it on a larger paper size than usual, such as tabloid size (11″ x 17″) and printing it on both sides. A table tent (the plastic containers can be cleaned after each table service), a disposable insert, or a touch-free menu display menu are all options for storing your drinks, kids meals, desserts, and other upsell items.

Disposable Menu FAQs

What is a single-use menu?

A single-use menu, sometimes known as a disposable menu, is one that is only used once. They’re either recycled or thrown away once they’ve been used. Single-use menus have traditionally been reserved for special occasions such as birthday parties or weddings. Any occasion where the meal is tailored to the specifics of the eating experience.

However, the use of single-use menus is already increasing beyond these scenarios. Because they’re significantly more hygienic than shared-use menus, they’re gaining popularity quickly.

Why should you use single-use menus?

A single-use menu has a number of distinct advantages. To begin with, if you discard menus after each use, you’ll be printing them frequently. As a result, you’ll be able to update the content printed on them more frequently. Second, they can denote a high-end experience. Finally, fewer people touch them. They have a considerably lower chance of becoming polluted and hazardous.

Special Occasions

Private parties, weddings, banquets, galas, and other special occasions that require a one-time menu are ideal candidates for single-use menus. Some disposable meals come with a level of service and luxury, owing to the fact that the menu is a specially curated, one-time experience. After you, no one will be able to appreciate it. It was a one-of-a-kind and fleeting event. It’s no longer there. It’s like a self-destructing James Bond device.

Hygiene

The average paper menu has 185,000 germs per square centimeter. Unfortunately, that’s more than a typical public restroom. While alarming at first, it becomes clearer when you consider the numbers. Thousands of people come into contact with paper menus before they are cleaned or changed. They’ll be cleaned or replaced if they’re ever cleaned or replaced.

A one-time use menu or a throwaway menu immediately overcomes this issue. While there is still a chance of infection, it is far less than a paper menu that has been shared in the same dining room for weeks or months.

What are the business benefits of disposable menus?

Versatile
It’s simple to maintain your single-use menus up to date when you print them yourself. Showcase the day’s specials, with food being added and removed in real time.

Memorable
For a paper menu that makes a statement, choose from a carefully curated range of colors, weights, and textures.

What is CMYK?

In offset printing, the standard color mode used in CMYK. CMYK, or Cyan, Magenta, Yellow & Black represent the four process colours in this mode. When you are creating your files, be sure to check the color mode as programs like Photoshop by default use RBG color, not CMYK. CMYK may look more dull on a computer screen than RGB; more noticeable in large solid color areas.

Accepted File Formats

We require industry standard formats for all uploaded files. We keep quality in mind when we print every job. We accept the following file formats: TIF – JPG – PDF – EPS – PSD. We accept CorelDraw, Pagemaker & Quark or similar files by converting them to industry standard graphic formats like JPG, TIF or PDF.

Rich Black vs 100% Black

Large black areas or fonts bigger than 36 points should use Rich Black which stops areas appearing gray. Rich Black is created with 30% Cyan, 30% Magenta, 30% Yellow, 100% Black. This setup will keep black areas looking rich and bold. For best results with regular body text, do not use Rich Black.

What Paper to Choose?

Paper should be addressed first in your design work. With postcards, the best option is to choose a thicker cardstock instead of a thinner text weight. The difference between these 2 types of paper is thickness. Our text weight is based on pounds and our card stock is weighted by points. Want to feel the difference? Order a Free Sample Kit today.

What is Font Outlining?

We might not have the same fonts on our systems as your computer, so when saving your files in a vector based program (Illustrator, InDesign, Quark, CorelDraw) please outline your fonts. This will convert them to a vector image, will not effect the clarity and will allow us to see the same text as you see on your screen.

Coating Types

We have many coating options at Printing New York. Matte, UV, silk and spot UV. Choose the coating based on your application. For example, if you want to write on your cards with a pen, do not choose UV coating as a pen won’t write on it. In this case a matte or uncoated stock coating would suit. Choose UV coating for flyers or banners and our rich silk gives a touch of elegance; 16pt stock a more durable feeling.

FAQs

What resolution should my files be for printing?

When printing, 300 PPI is the best print resolution for digital printers. The design of a file with a resolution below 300 PPI will result in blurring and pixelization. On the other hand, you should not design with a resolution higher than 300 PPI. As far as the eye can see, there will be no difference in print quality. It will also make your file much larger (increase file upload/transfer time).

We always recommend 300 PPI drawings to print, but we also know that sometimes you do not have the ability to edit your drawings. If you cannot print your files with a resolution of 300 PPI, you will have to take some measures to ensure that a lower resolution works for you.

We recommend that you set the resolution in your graphics editor (i.e. Photoshop) to 300 PPI before you start drawing your file. Increasing the resolution after the start will still result in blurring/pixelation.

How are my artworks checked?

All the work is checked by our team before printing. If we have any problems with the files, we will contact you and advise you how to change the format. Please note that conversion of both color and size mode will be done automatically without prior information.

During the analysis of the illustrations, we check

– if the files are presented in one of the accepted formats (PDF, JPG, TIFF, EPS or PS).
– if the number of pages is correct
– if the file supplied is greyscale (only if you have ordered a color print)
– if the file is the right size (otherwise we will scale your work to the desired size, however, this may result in a reduction in resolution. No additional bleeding will be added to the process either).
– if the drill lines have been specified
– if the appropriate fonts have been incorporated into the file.

Why do my artwork files need bleed?

To ensure that there are no white areas on the printed product, all files submitted should have a 2mm bleed on each side. This means that your design (both images and graphics) should always be 2mm larger than the actual print format. Failure to do so may result in slight variations, resulting in white margins. To ensure that the fonts and essential elements of your drawing are visible, place them at least 3mm away from the final format (not including bleeding) and do not use edges as edges in layouts.

Optional:
– If you are submitting data for printing in an open format, the bleed should be 4mm on each side (e.g. A4 size including bleed should be 301×214mm).
– If you are submitting files for presentation folders, banners, monthly calendars, packaging or any other promotional technology products, please prepare a file with 3mm bleed on each side
– Envelopes should be supplied with a 1mm bleed.
– The textile elastic frames must be bled 15mm.

If you need more information, please consult our artwork instructions.

What file types can my artwork be?

You can upload files in the following formats:
JPG, PDF, EPS, TIFF, PS (PostScript)

Make sure that your PDF file is saved directly from your graphics program in standard PDF/X format (PDF/X3 or PDF/X1a). To avoid problems with layers and transparencies during the printing process, it is recommended to use the “1.3 compatibility” setting when saving artworks.

If you are sending TIFF files, be sure to reduce the number of layers to one.

To avoid problems with color variation or printed image, please do not use pre-separated data from DCS EPS.

How and where can I pickup my prints?

We are open for pick-up Monday to Friday from 10am to 6pm. After hours, you can always fill out our /contact/ form and we will contact you within one hour during business hours. We offer two locations in downtown New York City. Check which is more convenient – the SOHO district of Manhattan or Bensonhurst area, Brooklyn.

Are you an eco-friendly printer?

Yes we are! We offer the widest range of eco-friendly printing products available in New York using soy ink, including recycled business cards, brochures, presentation folders, sales sheets, stationery, catalogs, flyers, calendars and more. Recycled paper is now our standard stock.

Historically, the printing industry has had a poor reputation for caring for the environment, with excessive use of water and electricity, paper waste and the use of volatile chemicals resulting in toxic waste. Protecting the environment is one of New York Print’s major concerns, and we strive to put our planet first.

And this is how Print New York is making a difference:

– Using soy-based inks
– Use of recycled paper stocks as standard
– Printing methods, such as duplex printing, that reduce paper usage
– Modern machines that significantly reduce energy consumption
– Elimination of toxic and volatile chemicals
– Alcohol-free presses
– We recycle redundant machines and computer parts.
– We recycle our printing plates, press blankets, bottles, cans and containers
