Our premium aluminium menu boards deliver exceptional rigidity, sharp text clarity, vibrant food photography and unmatched outdoor durability for drive-throughs, al fresco dining areas, forecourt displays and exterior menu installations. Whether you need a single menu board or a multi-site restaurant chain rollout, our acp menu boards service provides complete control over size, finish and turnaround speed.

We use premium aluminium composite sheets including ACM menu boards and Dibond menu boards—industry-standard materials trusted by hospitality professionals for their weatherproof performance, scratch resistance and professional appearance. For customers requiring flexibility, our aluminium composite panel menu board printing options allow complete customisation of dimensions, lamination finish, mounting holes and express delivery to suit any venue location throughout England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Material Thickness Options for Menu Board Applications

• 3 mm Aluminium Composite Panels – perfect for wall-mounted menu boards, takeaway counter displays, café specials boards, price lists and interior dining room menus. Lightweight yet rigid enough to maintain perfectly flat presentation while remaining easy to mount and update seasonally.
• 6 mm Aluminium Composite (Double-Sided) – recommended for freestanding menu boards, drive-through displays, forecourt installations, hanging pub signs and premium exterior menu installations requiring maximum impact resistance, wind stability and long-term outdoor durability in all British weather conditions.

Artwork Preparation for Menu Board Printing

• Upload your menu artwork during checkout or email files to [email protected].
• Supported formats: PDF, AI, EPS, PSD, PNG and JPEG at 150–300 dpi for crisp text and vibrant food imagery.
• Include 3–5 mm bleed and outline all fonts to ensure accurate menu text reproduction.

Every file is manually checked by our experienced pre-press team before production. If menu layout adjustments, text corrections or image enhancements are required, we contact you immediately to ensure your aluminium menu boards are produced to the highest hospitality industry standards.

Transparent Pricing Calculation

All aluminium composite panel menu board printing follows a straightforward square-foot pricing structure:

Total Price = (Width × Height × Sq-ft Rate) × Delivery Speed × Lamination × Printing Option

Larger menu boards automatically fall into lower per-square-foot pricing bands, meaning better value for full-sized restaurant menus, drive-through displays and multi-panel installations. Choose express turnaround options for urgent restaurant openings or same-day collection from Bolton for local emergency replacements.

Professional Finishing Options for Menu Boards

• Eyelets – Top / 4 Corners / 50 cm Spacing for hanging installations using chains, cables or fixings in outdoor beer gardens and forecourt displays.
• Drill Holes – Top / 4 Corners for discreet wall mounting with screws or standoffs directly to exterior walls, window frames or internal feature walls.
