Choose Your Material

Every Menuko cover starts with a choice of material. Here's everything you need to know about the options we use — their character, durability, and ideal use case.

♻️ Sustainability Pick

Corium® Recycled Leather

Luxury without compromise. Made for conscious establishments.

Corium® is engineered from 85% post-consumer leather fibres bonded with 15% natural binders — no virgin animal hide, no harmful chemicals. The surface is finished to be indistinguishable from full-grain leather in both feel and appearance.

💎 Premium Tier

Full-Grain Bovine Leather

The finest material we offer. For establishments that demand the best.

Full-grain leather retains the complete surface of the hide, including its natural texture and pore structure. It is the most durable grade available and develops a rich patina over years of use. Sourced from European tanneries certified to the highest environmental standards.

🌿 Eco Material

Reclaimed & Engineered Wood

Natural character with a story. Zero deforestation.

Our wood covers are produced from reclaimed timber — warehouse flooring, old wine barrels, and sustainably managed forests. Each wood cover is unique; no two will have identical grain patterns. Available in walnut, oak, and brushed finish. Ideal for QR stands and bill presenters.

Finishing Options

Make It Yours

Every material can be personalised with one or more of our finishing options. All embossing and engraving is applied after the cover construction — ensuring perfect registration.

🥇

Gold Hot-Foil Embossing

The classic luxury finish. 22k gold foil pressed under heat and pressure for a raised, light-catching logo or text. Available in gold, silver, rose gold, and blind (no foil).

🔆

Laser Engraving

High-precision laser burns your logo or branding into the material surface. Exclusive to wood covers and our Corium® range. Creates a tactile, permanent impression.

🧵

Tonal Stitching

Reinforce the cover edges with a stitched border in matching or contrasting thread. Adds a premium, handcrafted detail that signals quality from the first touch.

📎

Insert Systems

Choose from magnetic clip, ring binder, or adhesive insert channels. Allows you to update menu content without replacing the cover — a smart investment.
