Design Guidelines and Summary

In the past, we used to have a lot of rules and what we considered very professional operating procedures. Now, all we need is a PDF file, but the dimensions must be proportional. Don’t laugh, but I’ve actually encountered situations where someone from a private guesthouse, after having had a bit too much to drink, submitted a horizontal design draft when we needed a vertical one. It’s not always easy to comply with such requests.

MEMU™ Free of Uniform Invoice

Legally Registered：客來多手創菜單本舖
Uniform Numbers：22657191

As per the regulations of the government of the Republic of China, receipts without Unified Invoices can be used for reimbursement and offset purposes, just like Unified Invoices. Buyers can rest assured about this. In anticipation of the future, professional-use menus will be sold in small quantities, and the individual receipt amount will not exceed the limit set by the tax authorities of the Republic of China, which is TWD$5,000. If buyers cannot accept receipt certificates, there is no need to waste time discussing it. It is recommended to seek alternative solutions as soon as possible.

Exemption from the unified invoice system query in accordance with the competent regulations of the Ministry of Finance

The following outdated information from 1999 is recorded solely for historical reference and should not be taken seriously.

All design drafts must use the CMYK color mode.

Please provide design draft files in high-resolution CMYK color mode TIFF raster format with LZW image compression enabled. We do not accept file conversion services. Regarding color discrepancies, we will follow the standard printing four-color chart as the primary reference, with a tolerance of 10% in color variation between the final print and the draft. We regret that we cannot provide refunds or exchanges for variations within this tolerance.

Advice for designers:

When a client commissions a design and selects any item from the menu on our website, there won’t be any discounts, except for differences in pricing based on quantity. We suggest charging clients a reasonable and deserved service fee of 5-20%. However, if the designer can propose their own design and provide the materials themselves, only outsourcing the manufacturing and processing to us, the pricing will vary based on the design. This way, designers can maximize their profits, and their unique, vibrant creations will stand out.

File transfer via online FTP

We provide a convenient and fast file transfer service. Please use resumable software to send electronic files. Please follow the instructions below for the operation.

1). Please create a temporary directory on your computer first.

2). It’s best to name the temporary directory with your name and the date.

3). Next, copy the files you want to send to the newly created temporary directory.

4). Upload the prepared directory along with the files directly.

5). E-mail notification.

File conversion strategy.

Whether you’re using Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW for layout design, after saving the design file as a PDF, you can then open that PDF file using Adobe Photoshop and save it as a TIFF raster image with LZW image compression option to complete the process.
