I like the smell of paper, the faint scent of grass, and the unique texture and touch of paper are what I prefer. The paper’s surface is water-repellent, making it easy to clean with just a gentle wipe of water. Paper only helps ignite and will not spontaneously combust. Please don’t expect paper to last for a long time, as it is not leather. It’s paper, paper, paper, and I emphasize three times that it is not leather. Price is not a consideration, it is simply a preference for using paper. I hope to be able to change the menu book once a month to maintain business and hygiene, because a consulting company that emphasized being the world’s largest menu supplier pointed to deer and the consulting company’s procurement team and claimed that it was leather. They also believed that the world’s smallest menu store was not professional enough, which is truly heartbreaking.
Each book is available from CNY¥50 up to USD$100 up, and you are free to mix and match colors according to your preferences. We won’t discuss SGS verification for the paper quality, as we believe in the power of faith in paper.

MENU fourth letter U
The U-shaped box deluxe edition is equipped with four times the number of art paper inner pages.
The menu made of paper pulp is paper, not leather. Advanced surface processing technology has made it difficult to distinguish between paper and leather by appearance, but it can be felt and recognized as paper by touch. If one still feels it is leather, it is suggested to keep trying until the difference is apparent. Paper is not wrong, it’s the way it is used that matters. It is suggested that paper is best used for inner pages, such as for beautiful and practical underwear for different groups of people, like regular, sexy, children, and students. Normally, one would not wear only underwear to meet people; therefore, the cover is like a beautiful outer garment. The selection criteria for the cover are practicality, durability, reusability, washability, expandability, and beauty. Add a unique logo, and it’s complete. Are there no other choices for the cover besides paper? Of course there are, and they are even better. It only takes a thought. This article only introduces paper pulp menus, and the choice is up to the user.
As single-use packaging materials, the visually refined leatherette paper and fabric-textured paper are not SGS-certified. While both materials offer excellent colorfastness during foil stamping, they unfortunately lack water-repellent properties and are prone to mold and mildew. Hereafter referred to as “the paper,” these materials showed significant limitations during the COVID-19 pandemic, when alcohol usage surged. A single spray of alcohol caused foil stamping to fade completely, and the paper itself turned white upon contact.
During the pandemic, paper materials manufactured in China were either reduced in output or halted entirely. Even when available, they had to be purchased in full rolls, at prices several times higher than before. Whether such single-use packaging materials are worth adopting is ultimately up to the buyer’s discretion.
Additionally, a Japanese paper supplier operating a factory in Taiwan currently offers only standard cultural-use paper, due to prior market dumping of Chinese-made paper and the resulting supply contraction.

MENU second letter E
E-type binder with double-volume soft plastic inner sleeves.
In earlier years, Japanese manufacturers established factories in Taiwan dedicated to producing a wide range of specialty papers—among them, leatherette paper held particular significance. Widely used for book covers, luxury packaging, and premium print materials, this type of paper offered not only refined texture and visual appeal but also embodied the meticulous craftsmanship and consistent quality of Taiwan-made goods at the time.
However, as global manufacturing dynamics shifted and cost structures evolved, leather-textured paper from China began to rise in prominence. With highly competitive pricing and massive production capacity, Chinese-made leatherette paper quickly displaced the Japanese-dominated market, becoming the new industry standard.
These papers, known for their realistic appearance and stable texture, were marketed with bold claims—such as production volumes “sufficient for 5,000 years of use”—capturing the attention of cost-driven buyers, even if durability wasn’t the top priority. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Chinese suppliers further optimized their distribution strategy by shipping in full rolls, which not only improved logistics efficiency but also significantly reduced packaging and repacking costs. As a result, the global market penetration of leatherette paper surged dramatically.

This type of fabric-textured paper not only offers a highly realistic appearance and stable texture, but is also marketed with the bold claim of having a production volume “sufficient for 5,000 years of use.” This messaging has attracted widespread adoption among cost-driven businesses, even though durability may not be their primary concern.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Chinese manufacturers further optimized their supply strategies by switching to bulk roll shipments. This shift significantly improved logistics efficiency and reduced packaging and repackaging costs, leading to a sharp increase in the global market penetration of leather-textured paper.

In the early days, Japanese manufacturers chose to establish factories in Taiwan dedicated to producing various types of paper—among them, fabric-textured bonded paper held particular significance.

The paper-mâché fake menu shown in the picture is severely damaged, which has significantly affected operations and the dining experience of food enthusiasts. It also poses a serious health threat to individuals with allergies.
These fake menus attract buyers with their exquisite appearance and low prices, but they conceal unknown risks. Customers have reported that the menus they purchased, which appeared to be made of fabric, were actually counterfeit items using paper packaging materials with leather or fabric-like textures. This type of paper packaging is unsuitable for use in the food service industry as it is prone to damage and oil absorption, potentially deteriorating within 2 to 4 weeks. Long-term use carries risks of mold growth and oil absorption, posing serious health threats to individuals with allergies. Additionally, this impacts the operations of businesses and the dining experience of food enthusiasts, creating a vicious cycle of repeated investments. It is recommended that buyers use materials verified by SGS to meet hygiene and safety standards, ensuring the restaurant’s operation and the customers’ dining experience. This will enhance customer trust and promote long-term business growth.

MENU Types
All menu types are inseparable from MENU. So what is MENU? A well-known online encyclopedia once debated whether the menu or the recipe came first. Their tedious debate has yet to reach a consensus. Since our shop claims to be orthodox, we naturally have the answer. However, the hearts of nitpickers will be shattered. According to the four letters MENU, the answer has long been given. Don’t believe it? Let’s continue to get goosebumps.
MENU’s third letter is N. Our shop calls it a “folding menu.” Its proper name is simply “folding” because it folds in and out. It is commonly known as a “spring fold,” “Guanyin fold,” “double fold,” “wrapped fold,” and “triple fold.” These varied descriptions and terms are actually incorrect and stem from a lack of knowledge. However, since no one has contested them, they are widely accepted. The number of pages increases according to the number of folds, and the more pages there are, the more difficult it is to fold. We recommend no more than 6-8 pages.
Someone once posted on a well-known encyclopedia website claiming that the folding menu originated from ancient China and was made of sheepskin, used as a diplomatic passport. However, their argument was contradictory and the article was soon removed. The folding menu and the hand scroll have different forms and styles. In dramas, the folding menu is often used as a token, but in real life, ancient tokens have been found to be different from the folding menu. On the other hand, the imperial decree was in the form of a folding menu, which was limited to official use, while the folding menu was widespread among the people. This does not prove that the folding menu originated from China.
Our shop has a different view: in the diary of the great navigator, the folding menu was used to present a complete map. Therefore, it can be seen that its origin cannot be determined, but at least it is known that the folding menu is a portable item widely used in maps.
Kaleido, pronounced “keh-lay-doh”, is legally registered as “Kaleido Handmade Menu Studio”. Kaleido Image Tec.© produces handmade menus that have been passed down from ancient artisans. The inheritors of this craft inherited a well-known gourmet magazine in the 1980s and were awarded numerous News Bureau Magazine Publication Golden Tripod Awards in Taiwan during that time. In the 1990s, these inheritors began to specialize in menu production and have continued to shine in this field.
Initially, Kaleido was just a simple design, but with the changing times, it has evolved into a company with product design, development, and production capabilities. Kaleido has improved on the methods of the past to meet modern demands and consumer habits, endowing menus with more flexible applications. The resulting menus are not only more durable but also aesthetically pleasing and resistant to mold and bacteria. Additionally, Kaleido can work with buyers to customize the product specifications through ODM (Own Designing & Manufacturing) and design or improve products accordingly.
MEMU is Kaleido’s handmade brand, established in 1995. This brand offers a complete range of custom-made products and handmade items have been marketed in countries worldwide. Visitors are welcome to make appointments to view the variety of products, and custom orders and OEM are also welcome as new products and creations are frequently launched. Kaleido Handmade Menu Studio not only has a rich cultural heritage but also continually innovates and pursues excellence in the modern industry. The handmade menus produced by Kaleido are not only aesthetically pleasing but also practical, durable, and washable, making them the preferred choice of major restaurants, hotels, and cafes. With its excellent product quality and service, Kaleido has gradually become a leader in the handmade design industry.
Based on the four letters M, E, N, and U, the paper menu suggests only producing the E or U types. The M type is expensive to produce, and using paper mache would be meaningless. Additionally, the N type would likely be damaged if made with paper mache, making such an investment seemingly pointless. This conveys a simple concept: when reading magazines and books privately, people are usually careful and flip through the pages slowly. However, when available for the public to read, the damage rate from flipping through the pages is actually quite high. This gives us a hint: paper should be used for the interior pages, and the interior pages need a beautiful cover with a practical, durable, and ring-bound box.
