Ever-changing, dreamlike, an original art world of handmade menus
Likes the smell of paper, the faint taste of grass, and the unique texture and tactile sensation of paper. Prefers paper because of its qualities. The surface of the paper is water-resistant and can be easily cleaned with a gentle wipe of water. Paper is only flammable and not combustible, and its durability is limited, so please do not expect it to last forever. After all, paper is not leather. It’s emphasized by a consulting company that this is the world’s largest menu supplier. When pointing at a deer and the consulting company’s procurement, he said it was leather and believed that the world’s smallest menu store was very unprofessional. It’s really sad, so I’ll say it three times: paper is not leather. It’s not about the price, it’s purely a preference for using paper, and hoping to change the menu every month to maintain business and hygiene.

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.

All of our wallpaper products are made with SGS verified materials, and some of our premium wallpapers are flame-resistant. For customers who prefer hot stamping processes such as gold or silver foil stamping, please note that these processes may cause the colors to fade quickly, and may not create a three-dimensional visual effect. If you insist on using hot stamping, you must accept the fact that colors may fade, or you may choose to use unverified synthetic leather materials specifically designed for hot stamping purposes. However, these materials do not have waterproof properties and are prone to mold and mildew. In addition, there are plastic foam materials that are less likely to fade, but without SGS verification, they may be harmful to the human body. Furthermore, plastic foam materials tend to oxidize and crack easily, and although they are cheaper than genuine leather or vegetable-tanned leather, they have a better surface printing texture. As an honest business, we always provide the best quality products to ensure a safe and long-lasting experience for our customers.

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.

With its excellent product quality and service, Kaleido has gradually become a leader in the handmade design industry.
Due to the color difference issue when displaying paper material samples on a monitor, the wallpaper material book we have on hand is provided by the original manufacturer. We recommend that you refer to the paper material samples directly at nearby home decor stores, wallpaper stores, or interior design companies. The online display is not color-calibrated, and even the texture may not be perfectly presented, so it is for reference only.
The wallpaper material book is widely available in the market, even worldwide, and can be obtained through the following methods:
A. Visit a nearby wallpaper store to view the material sample, copy down the model number, and send a photo via phone to our store for procurement.
B. Visit a nearby wallpaper store to view the material sample, purchase it directly from the dealership, and then mail the package to our store for production.
There are thousands of types of wallpaper material in the book, and we are not sure whether the supply of colors, patterns, etc., is normal. The actual shipment will be mainly based on the original manufacturer, and our store is not responsible for wallpaper warranty and after-sales service. Once the decision is made, it cannot be returned or exchanged. Our store has already informed customers as much as possible that this is paper, not leather, and does not provide any after-sales warranty. Other manufacturers do not offer warranties, so our store has no reason to provide one. Furthermore, unlike some unscrupulous businesses that falsely label paper as leather, our store aims to break this vicious cycle of uninformed customers.
The price of wallpaper varies, and the actual quotation will be evaluated based on the selected material. Some imported wallpapers are futures, so please be aware of the required time. Our store is unable to jump ahead of the waiting period. The fastest turnaround time for each order is approximately 15 working days, plus the waiting period for futures. If time is limited, we recommend using locally-made wallpaper. Yes, some imported high-end wallpapers perform extremely well in wear resistance, but their prices are also staggering. Remember that this article is a menu for paper wallpaper lovers, so we assume that you prefer paper and do not actively recommend other options.
A. Visit a nearby wallpaper store to view the material sample, copy down the model number, and send a photo via phone to our store for procurement.
B. Visit a nearby wallpaper store to view the material sample, purchase it directly from the dealership, and then mail the package to our store for production.

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.

For room service menus, we intentionally make them thick and sturdy to prevent them from being taken away, but we can also make them small and thin based on the buyer’s needs. The materials used for the inside and outside of the menu can be mixed and matched to provide a wide range of options. We recommend using a four-hole metal clip for quick and easy replacement of the pages during events.
