Finish: matte aqueous coat — kills overhead glare, reads as paper, takes pen ink with practice.. Standard sizes are 2×7, 2×8, and 2×8.5 inches — long-axis vertical for natural reading orientation.

How it compares
- The same stock logic — 10pt for mail, 14pt for premium, 18pt for keepsakes — applies to bookmarks directly.
- The matte / gloss / lamination decision matters more on bookmarks than postcards because bookmarks live in a wallet.

What stock are bookmark printing services?
Bookmark Printing Services print on 16pt stock. 16pt is the heaviest standard bookmark stock — premium feel, longest shelf life when used as a keepsake.
What sizes do you carry?
Standard sizes are 2×7, 2×8, and 2×8.5 inches. 2×8.5 is the most common for paperbacks (fits inside the cover without sticking out). 2×7 is better for small-format books and gift card sleeves. Custom sizes available on request.
How should I prep my file?
Build at the final trim size plus 0.125" bleed per edge. Keep text and logos at least 0.125" inside the trim line — the cutter can drift slightly on long, narrow stock. Export as press-ready PDF at 300 dpi in CMYK. Outline fonts to avoid substitution.
Are these printed double-sided?
Yes — both sides full-color at no upcharge. The back of a bookmark is real estate: contact info, a QR code linking to your book club page, a quote, or a list of upcoming events.
How long do bookmarks last in regular use?
Coated bookmarks (matte AQ, UV, silk lam) survive months to years of daily use. Uncoated and enviro stocks soften faster — fine for promotional handouts but not for keepsakes.
Can I order in low quantities?
No minimums. Single-piece test orders, 500-piece event runs, and 10,000-piece library distributions all run on the same press. Pricing scales with quantity; the configurator shows per-unit + line totals before checkout.
