Menu Board Sizes

Purchasing menu boards is a great idea; however, determining the appropriate size is of upmost importance. 

The menu boards are a great way to give the restaurant a sense of place and identity and to bring in new customers, but when it comes time to choose the right size for your menu board, there are a few things you’ll want to keep in mind.

First, remember that you have limited space to put it, so make sure that whatever size you choose will fit within your dining area without taking up too much extra square footage.

Another thing to consider is how wide your menu board should be–this will depend on the depth of your menu (which determines how much space there is between each item). 

In this article, we’d discuss menu board sizes to see which one suits you.

Popular Menu Board Sizes 

A3 Boards

The A3 boards can typically accommodate an entire menu on a single side, making it an ideal choice for menu boards and menus that are hung on walls.

The dimensions of an A3 sheet of paper are as follows: 297 mm (W) and  420 mm (H) 

A4 Boards

The A4 boards are widely used for menus in many restaurants and cafes. They are the most suitable size for menu boards and menu covers alike.

A4 paper size is: 210mm(W) x 297mm(H) 

A5 Boards

The A5 format menus are also ubiquitous and used for various menus, particularly drinks and cocktail. The compact size makes it very simple to handle and ensures that it does not take up much space when placed on a bar top.

A5 paper size is: 148mm(W) x 210mm(H) 

Two-thirds A4 (2/3 A4) Boards

The 2/3 A4 is the same length as A4, but it is only 2/3 as wide. It is often used for dessert and appetiser lists or as a main menu that is a little thinner than an A4.

2/3 A4 paper is 140mm (W) and 297mm (H) 

Half A4( 1/2 A4 ) Boards 

The 1/2 A4 is the same height as A4 but half the width. It is used as a drinks or wine menu board. Because you can use a standard A4 sheet of paper, it is also a great way to fix an internal cord.

1/2 A4 paper size is: 105mm(W) x 297mm (H)

Square Boards 

Square menu covers can be used for various applications, but they are most commonly used for main menus because they offer something slightly different from the typical A4 format.

The paper size is: 210mm(W) x 210mm(H) (8.3in x 8.3in)
