Bookmark Printing for Long-Lasting Promotions
Bookmark printing is a simple and effective way to promote your brand, products, services, and events. You can print bookmarks to use as mini flyers, coupons, or tickets at trade shows and events. Afterward, they serve as a handy place keeper in books. Readers are exposed to your brand every time they return to reading.
Custom bookmarks are conveniently compact, so they make great giveaways during events as well as freebies to include with customer purchases. Lots of businesses can benefit from bookmark printing like retail shops, learning centers, and even universities. They’re the perfect size to impart bite-sized information like store locations, your company history, and educational content.
Create custom bookmarks to reinforce your brand:
- Choose from sturdy 13 pt., 14 pt., and 16 pt. cardstock: The 13 pt. cardstock is a popular and economical option for bookmarks. The 14 pt. cardstock is slightly thicker and more tear-resistant, but for maximum durability, you can choose the 16 pt. cardstock.
- Select gloss, matte, or UV coating: Gloss coating makes the colors in your design look more vibrant. If you want the colors to be slightly muted, choose matte coating. UV coating is an ultra-glossy finish that adds a layer of protection to bookmarks.
- Add a drill hole for a string or ribbon: Hole drilling makes it easier for you to tie strings or ribbons to the bookmarks. Choose from a variety of size and placement options.
- Add a touch of flair with rounded corners: Rounded corners add a modern look to bookmarks. They also prevent corners from becoming dog-eared over time.
- Include spot UV to highlight part of your logo, design, or text with extra shine: Spot UV adds depth and texture to bookmarks. It puts the spotlight on the design element that you want customers to focus on
Distinguish Your Promotions With Shine and Shimmer
Select foil or metallic bookmarks to create an elegant sparkle and shimmer to your design. The added reflective shine to your prints will easily attract attention and enhance your bookmark designs. Foil and metallic printing add a luxurious and premium feel, which can help set your brand apart from the rest.
Foil bookmarks come in premium gold, silver, and copper accents. Festive colors in blue, red and the more neutral black are also available. The foil's special shine is applied on a specific area, perfect for highlighting your logo or company name.
Metallic bookmarks offer a more vibrant shine on any color. Your custom bookmark stands out as a keeper with the following premium features:
- Printed on thick, durable 16 pt. glossy cardstock
- A metallic finish applicable to any hue. Recommended for lighter shades to truly stand out.
- Option to add spot UV to other elements, such as text or an image, to highlight areas on your bookmark.
Both metallic printing and foil stamping add sparkle but vary in application and visual effect. We use actual ink for metallic printing, which allows you to design in a full spectrum of colors. Foil stamping, on the other hand, requires using heat and pressure to “stamp” the foil onto the paper. With foil stamping, you can only choose from gold, silver, and copper.
Metallic printing is printed on glossy paper or cardstock, which allows less absorption so your prints get maximum shine. Foil stamping can be printed on uncoated cardstock, which give your prints elegant results.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a standard bookmark size?
We offer a wide range of bookmark sizes. Our three (3) most popular standard sizes are:
- 2” x 6” – This is the most common, economical size for many businesses.
- 2” x 7” – Slightly longer to add more information or messages.
- 2.5” x 8.5” – Provides more space for graphics and text, and about the same length as a paperback.
What kind of paper or material is used for your bookmarks?
We use cardstock material for our bookmark printing. You can choose from 13 pt. cardstock, 14 pt. cardstock, and 16 pt. cardstock. The higher the number, the thicker the material. For large quantities, the most popular choice is 14 pt. cardstock because it’s durable yet lightweight. For metallic and foil bookmarks, we use 16 pt. cardstock to add a more premium feel.
How do I get my design checked for free?
After uploading your design, select I Need a PDF Proof and our prepress team will email you a file for your review and approval. Your files will not be queued for print until you've approved the proof.
What’s the difference between Foil and Metallic Bookmarks?
These two bookmarks may look the same, but the shiny designs are produced differently. Foil bookmarks undergo a process called foil stamping, which involves applying heat and pressure, so the foil melts into the cardstock. On the other hand, metallic bookmarks use an ink mixed with metal particles that give off the desired metallic look.
Can I print on both sides of the bookmark?
Yes, you can print your design on the front and other information at the back. This allows you to maximize the bookmark space for promotion.
Are custom sizes available?
All our bookmarks are available in standard or popular sizes only. This makes them easy to hand out because they are neither too small nor too big.
