Purchasing Resources for Menu Card Holders

Menu Card Holders Types and Styles

Picking the right restaurant card holders for your business
By Kate Esposito If you own a restaurant or other food service establishment, your menu card holders are very important. The way your menu is presented is an important aspect of the first impression you have on new or potential customers.

This makes it important for you to choose a menu holder that is practical and suitable to your business. There are several menu card holders types and styles to choose from. They include:

1. The menu card clip holder, which lets you attach the card at the bottom;

2. The weatherproof outdoor frame that you can use to draw people into your business from outside;

3. The transparent display that keeps your menu cards from getting wet or soiled.

Check out clip style menu holders

The clip style menu holder is easy to use and is often the least expensive option. Just be aware that you have to have your menu cards printed on thick card stock to use these. If you don't, the cards will flop over.
Try:  Go to Katom Restaurant Supply's site and check out the chrome-plated menu clips. They are good for a classy look, but can also work with casual decor. A weighted base helps them stay standing. Then look at Kitchen Supply Direct's stainless steel menu holders. They are of a similar style, but are thinner and not weighted.

Look at outdoor menu card holders

Menu card holders are also useful outside your establishment. The point of them is to draw in customers with your delectable menu options. It can also help people with certain food preferences decide if your business is right for them.
Try:  Go to Next Level Custom Signs' web page and look at the plastic A-frame stand. You can set it on the ground in front of your business and easily bring it in at closing. Then visit Sam's Club's website and take a look at the outdoor/indoor menu holder. It easily mounts on the wall and can hold several menu cards to display a longer menu.

View transparent acrylic or plastic frames for menus

The plastic restaurant card holder is a good choice for you if your establishment is frequented by families. Even if children handle these holders, or you or your staff drop them on the floor, it is unlikely the holders will get messed up. Plus, your menu cards will stay intact.
Try:  Visit Cal-Mil Plastic Products' website. Cal-Mil makes five varieties of acrylic card holders. Then go to Displays2Go. The site, which sells displays from many different menu card holder suppliers, has 10 types of transparent displays in lots of shapes and sizes. It also has a couple of variations of the menu folder, if you are looking for those as well.
