Comparing Rigid Menu Boards and TerraSlate Menus
Both TerraSlate Menus and Rigid Menu Boards deliver exceptional durability and print quality, but each serves a different purpose depending on your space and service style. Each option supports vibrant printing, lasting protection, and flexibility for creating a professional menu on wall display. TerraSlate’s waterproof paper ensures sharp color and enduring performance even with heavy use and cleaning.
Below is a detailed comparison to help you choose the best fit for your restaurant, resort, or bar:
Material
TerraSlate Menus are made from flexible sheets of waterproof synthetic paper, offering a lightweight and versatile feel. Rigid Menu Boards, on the other hand, are excellent and about the thickness of an iPad (¼″), requiring no additional backing or protection.
Durability
Both options are waterproof, grease-resistant, and built to handle rough use without cracking, peeling, or fraying. However, Rigid Menu Boards offer added weight for windy or outdoor environments where sturdiness is essential.
Weatherproof and Buoyancy
Standard TerraSlate Menus are weatherproof and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, though they do not float. Rigid Menu Boards are wind-resistant and buoyant, making them ideal for poolside or open-air dining areas.
Printing Options
Each product features full-color, edge-to-edge CMYK printing on one or both sides, ensuring vivid colors and crisp detail that withstand frequent handling and cleaning.
Flexibility
TerraSlate Menus are lightweight, foldable, and easy to carry, while Rigid Menu Boards remain firm and mid-weight, providing a stable, premium feel.
Finishing Options

Use Cases and Applications
Flexible TerraSlate Menus are great for daily menus, signage, manuals, and printed guides. Rigid Menu Boards are ideal for poolside service, rooftop dining, patios, and other high-traffic areas that demand a sturdier display.
Sizes
TerraSlate Menus can be printed in nearly any size up to 13″ × 19″, while Rigid Menu Boards come in five standard formats: 4.25″ × 11″, 5.5″ × 8.5″, 8.5″ × 11″, 8.5″ × 14″, and 11″ × 17″.

Ideal Use Cases: Where Wall Menus Fit Best (Indoor vs. Outdoor)
Choosing the right wall menu material means more than style; it’s about durability, visibility, and usability in every setting. TerraSlate’s waterproof paper enables the design of professional-grade displays that resist fading, cracking, or peeling, both indoors and outdoors.
Indoor Wall Menus: Functionality and Long-Term Presentation
In high-traffic environments, such as hotels, quick-service restaurants, and sports venues, wall-mounted menus serve as central visual features, visible to hundreds of guests daily. They must withstand frequent handling, spills, and cleaning without losing their appearance. TerraSlate Rigid Menu Boards are waterproof and wind-resistant while maintaining a sleek, polished surface. Their solid ¼-inch construction eliminates the need for backing boards, replacing traditional clipboards or laminated inserts. This makes them ideal for fixed indoor display zones where longevity and presentation are of the utmost importance.
Outdoor Wall Menus: Built for Weather and High-Exposure Conditions
Outdoor environments require materials that can handle rain, wind, sunlight, temperature changes, and poolside conditions. TerraSlate Rigid Menu Boards meet these demands with military-grade durability. They are completely waterproof, weatherproof, and even float on water, making them ideal for patios, rooftops, poolside restaurants, and outdoor kiosks. The single-layer design ensures they will not crack, peel, or fade over time, providing a lasting solution for year-round outdoor displays.

How Wall Menus Can Help Boost Revenue
A thoughtfully designed, professionally printed menu does more than list items. It drives sales. Rigid menu boards help restaurants, bars, and resorts present a premium, cohesive dining experience that builds guest trust and subtly encourages higher spending. A menu that looks sleek, sturdy, and spotless immediately enhances the perceived quality of your food, service, and overall brand.
Durability also translates to long-term savings. Built to withstand sunlight, spills, and daily use, rigid boards eliminate the frequent replacements that traditional menus require. This reduces both downtime and material costs over time. And when guests can easily read and engage with your offerings, without flipping pages, dealing with loose sheets, or handling worn paper, they’re more likely to discover new dishes and order with confidence.
Your menu is one of your most powerful selling tools, and rigid menu boards ensure it always looks professional, inviting, and ready to perform.
