Configure & Order ↑Full-size dinner menus belong in binders, not shirt pockets. Pocket menus print on the menus calculator at 4x9 to-go for bag inserts and wallet strips, or 8.5x11 scored for tri-fold pocket panels, with Material synthetic waterproof or laminated 10 mil for counter and carry-out handling, single or double-sided, qty 25 through 1,000, with Free Design Setup and fold proof in the calculator above.
Upload a print-ready PDF with fold lines marked, or send item lists and prices for Free Design Setup. We confirm panel order on tri-fold pocket layouts, readable type on narrow 4x9 columns, and spill-resistant stock on the proof before score and trim.
Guide to pocket menu sizes, waterproof stocks, tri-fold layout, to-go use cases, FAQ. Pick specs, approve proof, print and ship.

Size dropdown on menus calculator.
4x9 to-go is the classic pocket strip that slides into delivery bags, coat pockets, and counter caddies with hours, phone, and top sellers only. 8.5x11 tri-fold scores into a six-panel pocket booklet guests carry without a menu binder. 8.5x14 and 11x17 remain available when you need taller legal or tabloid panels before folding down to pocket width.
Pick trim and fold intent before you set column width. Note tri-fold pocket layout or 4x9 bag insert in special instructions so prepress maps panels correctly on the proof.

Spill-ready Material dropdown.
Pocket menus leave the dining room. Synthetic waterproof stock survives sauce splashes, bar mist, and rainy patio pickups without lamination cost on short seasonal runs. Laminated 10 mil seals ink under plastic for wipe-down counters and high-turn takeout windows where staff scrub menus between rushes.
100 lb gloss text and 14pt gloss cover still work for indoor pocket inserts that replace monthly. Match material to how far the menu travels from the host stand.

Score lines on proof.
Tri-fold pocket menus need cover panel, inside spread, and back mapped to the correct guest-facing sequence after two scores. Prices and item names must stay inside the folded pocket width, not across score lines where type can crack after folding.
Free Design Setup can rebuild a spreadsheet item list into a tri-fold pocket layout or narrow 4x9 column grid when you lack a designer PDF.

Who orders pocket menus.
Food trucks, ghost kitchens, coffee counters, and catering drop-offs reorder 4x9 pocket strips because guests tuck them away instead of leaving flat letter sheets on the table. Hotels and QSR chains use laminated 8.5x11 tri-fold pockets for room-service and grab-and-go lists that survive repeated handling.
Qty 250 and above is typical once fold layout and waterproof stock are approved on proof for multi-location pocket menu programs.
Standard 3-5 days after approval.
Production starts after written proof approval confirming fold panel order, material substitution, and type size on narrow columns. Standard runs 3 to 5 business days after approval. Rush 2 to 3 business days and Next-Day tiers appear in the calculator when eligible.
Pocket menus ship flat for in-house folding or pre-scored stacked depending on qty noted in comments. Reorder price updates through comments referencing your prior order number.

Restaurants ask whether 4x9 fits standard takeout bags, if tri-fold 8.5x11 reads in a shirt pocket, and waterproof vs laminated for bar use. We confirm bag-insert layout on proof, map tri-fold panels for pocket width, and recommend laminated stock for wipe-down counters.
