A6 Menu Printing | Print A6 Menus Online

By the time the mains are cleared, the main menu has usually gone back to the pass. Desserts, dessert wines, coffees and after-dinner cocktails then get sold from memory: a quick recital from the server, a chalkboard across the room, or not at all. An A6 menu keeps that choice in front of the guest at the moment it matters.

Order printed A6 menus online in the 105mm × 148mm format, from 25 to 100,000 copies. Choose from 12 paper stocks, single or double sided printing, matt, gloss or soft-touch lamination, and a gold foil, silver foil or high-build spot UV finish. The price updates as you configure the job, shown plus VAT, and you can upload your print-ready PDF or send it after checkout.

I YOU PRINT is a Croydon-based commercial printer serving London and the rest of the UK. Every A6 menu order can be set to 1 working day, 3–4 working days or Express turnaround, with delivery anywhere in the UK.

A6 vs A5, A4 and DL Menus: Choosing the Right Format

A6 is the supporting format in a menu set, built for focused lists rather than the full food offer.

Choosing the Right Paper Stock for A6 Menus

Stock affects how an A6 menu feels in the hand, how substantial it looks on the table and how well it suits repeated handling.

Silk has a smooth, lightly sheened surface that keeps food and drinks photography crisp. Uncoated has a natural, slightly textured feel that suits craft, rustic or minimal branding. Choose 250gsm for everyday table use, and 350gsm or 450gsm when you want a more substantial, rigid-feeling menu card for premium presentation. For protection against spills, add lamination.

Laminated A6 Menu Printing, Foil and Spot UV

Matt, gloss or soft-touch lamination

Matt lamination cuts glare under pendant lights and candlelight and hides fingerprints well, making it the safest choice for most dining rooms. Gloss deepens colour and suits photographic cocktail and drinks menus. Soft-touch adds a velvety surface for venues where the menu should feel as considered as the table setting. If both sides of the menu are regularly handled or exposed to spills, double-sided lamination protects both printed surfaces.

Gold foil, silver foil and high-build spot UV

Choose one special finish per order: gold or silver foil on one side, or high-build spot UV on one or both sides. Foil works best on a logo, venue name or heading. Spot UV creates a raised, glossy detail that stands out most against matt or soft-touch lamination. Keep both to bold elements rather than small body text, where fine detail is harder to reproduce cleanly.

A6 Menus for Restaurants, Cafés, Bars and Hospitality

A6 menus sell best when the content deserves its own moment at the table. Our guide to menus that sell more food explains why focused lists like these perform so well.

• Restaurant dessert menus: brought out as plates are cleared. 350gsm silk with soft-touch lamination suits fine dining; 250gsm silk with matt lamination suits casual venues.
• Wine lists and drinks menus: by-the-glass lists, dessert wines and digestifs, printed double sided to carry a second category on the reverse.
• Cocktail menus: gloss lamination on 250gsm silk keeps colour-rich drinks photography vivid at close range.
• Café specials menus: short runs of 25 or 50 on lighter stock keep weekly changes affordable. Pair them with  table talkers when a promotion needs to stand upright.
• Set menus and event menus: place-setting menus for private dining, weddings and corporate dinners.
