Customizing Your Bookmarks
Cardstock Options
Our bookmarks are printed on premium cardstock options (10 pt., 14 pt., and 16 pt.). The higher the number, the thicker the stock.
Finishes
The ideal finish or coating for your bookmark depends on the design, brand aesthetic, and specific requirements.
Matte creates a smooth, non-reflective surface that promotes excellent readability without glare.
High gloss has a mirror-like, ultra-shiny surface that makes colors appear richer and bolder.
Gloss also creates a reflective, shiny finish, but it is less intense compared to high gloss.
Additional Features
You can add rounded corners, custom trims, and holes. Although we offer hole drilling, our bookmarks don’t come with ribbons or strings.
Bookmark Design and Production Tips
- Elevate your brand’s perceived quality instantly — choose thicker, heavier cardstock with special finishes.
- Print functional designs (e.g., mini calendars, quick reminders, and contact lists) to turn bookmarks into a practical giveaway.
- Turn them into keepsakes by using beautiful typography or captivating images.
- Incorporate QR codes into the design to direct users to a landing page or any digital asset.
