Custom Placemat Printing

MMPrint produces custom printed placemats for restaurants, hotels, caterers, event venues, schools and organizations nationwide. Placemats can be printed on writable paper for disposable or short-term use or on durable synthetic material when water and tear resistance are important.

Restaurant placemat printing turns the table surface into useful customer communication. A placemat can feature menu items, daily specials, children’s activities, sponsor advertisements, coupons, event information or a complete single-page menu.

Choose the material based on how the placemat will be used. Paper works well for frequently changed, writable or disposable pieces, while synthetic material is better suited to repeated handling and exposure to spills.

Placemat Sizes & Formats

• Standard Placemats – Designed to fit beneath a typical restaurant place setting while leaving room for branding, promotions or activities.
• Menu Placemats – Organize food choices, descriptions and pricing on a single flat sheet that also functions as a placemat.
• Children’s Activity Placemats – Combine coloring areas, puzzles, games, facts or other family-friendly content.
• Custom Specifications – Request a custom quote when the required dimensions, material or production specifications are not shown in the online configurator.

Paper & Synthetic Placemat Options

• Uncoated Paper – A natural-feel, economical option that is well suited to writing, coloring, changing promotions and disposable restaurant placemats.
• Synthetic Material – A paper-like plastic material designed to resist water and tearing. It is appropriate for placemats that need greater durability and repeated handling.

Printing & Production Considerations

• Custom Artwork – Incorporate restaurant branding, menu content, photographs, sponsor advertisements, coupons or event graphics.
• Material Selection – Consider writing requirements, exposure to spills, expected replacement frequency and how long each placemat needs to remain in service.

• Special Requirements – Contact MMPrint for specifications that are not available through the standard online choices.

Design Tips for Printed Placemats

• Plan around the place setting – Keep essential menu information, offers and branding where plates, glasses and flatware will not routinely cover them.
• Choose readable type – Use clear text sizes and strong contrast for menu descriptions, prices, sponsor advertisements and instructions.
• Select the right writing surface – Use uncoated paper when guests will write, draw or color on the placemat.
• Organize advertising carefully – Give each sponsor or coupon a defined area so the finished design remains easy to scan.
• Include bleed – Extend artwork beyond the trim edge when colors or images are intended to print to the edge.
• Protect important content – Keep text, logos and coupon details safely inside the trim area.
• Use suitable image resolution – Supply high-resolution photographs and graphics at their intended printed size.
• Proofread menu information – Verify prices, descriptions, dates, contact information and offer restrictions before submitting the artwork.
