Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a cosy tea room in Bakewell, Derbyshire, wanted to better promote their Afternoon Tea packages and weekly scone specials. Instead of reprinting their beautifully bound main menus, they opted for these clear acrylic menu insert holders to add a dedicated promotional section.
"These inserts were the perfect fix. We can now update our weekly specials in minutes, and they sit neatly inside our existing menus. Our customers notice them straight away, and it's prompted so many more conversations about our afternoon tea offering."
Robert Davies – Owner, The Copper Kettle
The tea room reported a noticeable 20% increase in Afternoon Tea bookings within the first two months of using the inserts.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
- Gently flex the holder to slide your A5 printed paper inside.
- For a four-page display, use a single A4 sheet folded in half.
- Simply slip the entire A5 acrylic menu holder into the clear pocket of your main A4 menu.
- That's it! Your new promotional display is ready for the table.
- To clean, wipe with a soft, damp microfibre cloth.
- Use mild, soapy water for stubborn marks; avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
- Never use abrasive sponges or scouring pads as they will scratch the surface.
- When not in use, store them flat to prevent warping or bending.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the plastic flexible or rigid?
A: It's made from a semi-rigid plastic. It has enough flex to easily insert paper, but it's firm enough to stand upright within a menu holder without flopping over.
Q: How many sheets of A5 paper can it hold?
A: It's designed to display four sides, which is best achieved with a single A4 sheet folded to A5 size, or two single A5 sheets placed back-to-back.
Q: How do I clean it without causing scratches?
A: Always use a soft microfibre cloth. Avoid paper towels or abrasive scourers. Mild, non-abrasive soap and water is all you need for cleaning.
Q: Will this fit any brand of A4 menu holder?
A: It's designed to a standard A5 size and will fit most A4 menu holders that feature internal clear pockets. We recommend checking the pocket dimensions of your specific holders if they are an unusual design.
Q: Does the holder have a top or side opening?
A: The holder is open on the top and side (at the fold) allowing you to easily slide your printed inserts in and out.
Q: Is the material completely transparent?
A: Yes, it's a crystal-clear acrylic that ensures your menu designs and text are perfectly visible without any tint or cloudiness.
Q: Can I write on it with a dry-erase marker?
A: We don't recommend it. While it may work, some markers can leave ghosting or stains. It's designed for use with paper inserts.
Q: Are these suitable for outdoor use?
A: They are best suited for indoor use. While they can handle being taken to an outdoor table, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and weather isn't recommended.
