Description
Matte Laminated Bookmarks printed CMYK at 300 dpi with 0.125" bleed — standard premium bookmark specification. Stock: 16pt is the heaviest standard bookmark stock — premium feel, longest shelf life when used as a keepsake. Finish: silk lamination — rubbery film bonded to the paper; water-resistant, deepest blacks of any bookmark finish.. Standard sizes are 2×7, 2×8, and 2×8.5 inches — long-axis vertical for natural reading orientation. Order online with instant pricing across stock and finish combinations; we run print-ready file checks before going to press.

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.

FAQs
What stock are matte laminated bookmarks?
Matte Laminated Bookmarks 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?
Laminated bookmarks survive years of daily use — the plastic film protects the print from finger oils, water, and abrasion. They survive a wallet.
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.
