Six unique styles of widely available bindings are stitch, string, ring, butterfly, spiral, and screw. The strength of a stitched binding will allow the menu to last while also being noticeably thinner than other styles. Something to consider with stitch is that pages can not be easily removed if a change occurs in the menu. String bindings give an elegant appearance while allowing for manageable changes to the pages of the menu. If function takes precedence in your setting than a ring binding is likely most appropriate. Added, removing, and repairing pages of the menu is by far the simplest with this type of menu binding. Butterfly bound menus are an extremely attractive and popular option. Sturdiness and effortless page turning are qualities of menus with butterfly binding. Menus with spiral bindings share much in common with ring bindings while providing a different look. The metal of screw binding provides a distinctive look and menu reading experience. This option provides easy page changes and a classy presentation though it is only suitable for thinner menus.

Knowing the available options for ever part of your restaurant is essential to achieving the perfect experience. Understanding your needs for both function and appearance will help you determine which menu binding options to choose.
