Leather vs. Leatherette vs. Linen Menu Covers

Menu covers come in all kinds of material depending on your or your clients’ needs. A few options include leather, leatherette, and linen, among others.Β 

  • Leather menu covers are our premium cover material and are usually the priciest, with quality that customers can feel. They are durable and long-lasting.Β 
  • Leatherette menu covers look and feel similar to leather, but at a more affordable price. Often referred to as faux leather or vegan leather, leatherette is usually harder, less durable, and made of polyurethane or similar materials.Β 
  • Linen menu covers are a more unique option. These are textured menus that are quite memorable. They can come in a variety of colors, fabrics, and patterns. While linen isn’t usually very expensive, it also isn’t the most durable. It is recommended for protected environments and upscale dining.Β 

Other popular menu cover materials include wood, metal, wall covering, cork and more. Browse pictures for inspiration here.Β 

How Does Order Quantity Affect Pricing?

When ordering menu covers, bulk pricing applies. Traditional price breaks are at the following quantities: 25, 50, 100, 250, and beyond. Occasionally we make as few as 10 menus depending on material. We create wholesale menu covers for distributors and offer net pricing, just mention you are a distributor when requesting a quote.
