Cheap Bookmark Printing

Bookmark pricing depends on size, paper stock, finish, sides printed, and quantity. Use the calculator for your exact total. Per-piece cost drops as quantity increases, with noticeable breaks at 250, 500, and 1000. Free Design Setup is included on qualifying orders so you pay only for print, not a separate design fee.

2x6 is the industry default and fits most mass-market paperbacks and trade books without protruding from the pages. 2x8 adds room for a reading list, website, or author bio on the back without a large price jump. Choose 2x8 when the reverse side needs more than a logo and a single URL.

Yes. Free Design Setup is included on qualifying orders at no extra charge. Send your logo, a cover image, or notes about your book or brand. Our designers build the layout, place QR codes if needed, and email a digital proof for approval. Revisions are handled before production starts.

14pt gloss is the most popular choice for retail giveaways and book fair handouts: bright color, smooth feel, and enough stiffness for daily use in a bag or nightstand. 16pt matte adds noticeable weight and a back you can write on. Trifecta velvet is the soft-touch premium option for a keepsake feel.

Yes on uncoated, kraft, and most matte stocks. Gloss UV coating seals the surface and most ballpoint pens bead or skip on it. If readers, students, or customers need to write notes or signatures, choose matte, uncoated, or a high-gloss front with an uncoated back option when available in the calculator.

Trifecta is a thick triple-layer stock with a colored core edge visible along the long sides in red, black, blue, or green. The face carries a soft velvet lamination that feels suede-like in hand. It stands apart from standard gloss at signing tables and bookstore counters and gives people a reason to keep the bookmark.

Gloss makes cover art and bold type pop at signing tables and produces vivid color under event lighting. Matte feels more literary and handles fingerprints during long events without showing smudges. Many authors print a gloss front for visual impact and an uncoated or matte back so readers can add a personal note.

Standard production on most 14pt gloss stock runs 2 to 4 business days after proof approval. Specialty finishes like Trifecta velvet, raised foil, or raised UV add 5 to 7 production days. Rush tiers may be available on selected standard stocks. Add your zip for shipping transit time after production completes.

Yes. We email a digital proof for every order, whether you print 50 or 5000 bookmarks. The proof shows trim size, safe zones, and both sides if double-sided. Production starts only after you approve. Request any change and we revise before the job goes to press at no extra charge.

Print-ready PDF with embedded fonts and 300 DPI images is preferred. We also accept AI, EPS, PNG, and JPG files. For bookmarks based on phone photos, resolution matters at the final print size. Free Design Setup can rebuild files from cover images or phone art when resolution allows a clean output.

The online minimum is typically 100 bookmarks for standard sizes. Smaller test runs may be possible on request. Use the calculator to compare price breaks at 250, 500, and 1000 pieces. Larger quantities reduce per-piece cost and are common for book launch events, library programs, and retail brand giveaways.

Yes. Full-color both-sides printing (4/4) is a popular choice for author promotions. The front carries cover art and title; the back works well for a reading list, event schedule, website URL, discount code, or short author bio. Double-sided adds minimal cost compared to single-sided runs at the same quantity.

Not here. Smart pricing at Cheap RUSH Printing comes from gang-run production efficiency, not from using thin cardstock or low-calibration presses. You still get stiff stock, accurate CMYK color, and a human proof review before anything prints. Order a sample run if you want to feel the quality before committing to a large quantity.

Bleed is extra art extending 0.125 inch past the trim on each side so color prints to the finished edge after cutting. A standard 2x6 bookmark with full bleed on all sides requires a working canvas of 2.25 by 6.25 inches at 300 DPI. We show trim and safe zone guides on the proof.

Yes. Free Design Setup includes QR code generation and placement. Tell us the URL or action to link to, such as a newsletter, audiobook sample, or event landing page. We size the code for reliable scanning on a narrow bookmark and test scanability during the proof review before production starts.

No. The calculator total covers printing and selected shipping. Free Design Setup is included on qualifying orders and is not billed separately. Rush tiers show their pricing premium at checkout before you pay. There are no plate fees, file handling charges, or surprise add-ons on standard bookmark orders.

Yes. We print in Florida and ship bookmarks to all 50 states. Enter your zip code in the calculator for carrier options and estimated transit times. Rush shipping is available alongside rush production when a book launch or event deadline requires the fastest possible delivery from our facility.

Production is the print-and-pack time after proof approval. Shipping is carrier transit from our Florida facility to your address. A 3-day production tier plus 2-day shipping means 5 days total before you hold the bookmarks, not 3. Both numbers are shown clearly at checkout so your event planning is accurate.

Yes. Libraries, schools, and community organizations order bookmarks in bulk for summer reading programs, literacy events, and patron giveaways. Quantities of 500 to 5000 are common for these runs. Free Design Setup helps when you only have a program logo and a list of featured titles or themes to work from.

Raised UV applies a thick, clear, glossy layer you can feel over logos or titles on a matte base card. Raised foil adds a metallic gold or silver shine with texture that catches light from different angles. Both require extra curing time, typically adding 3 to 5 production days compared to standard gloss options.

Yes. 18pt premium kraft uses recycled fiber content with a natural brown appearance. White ink does not print on kraft, so lighter areas in your design show as paper color. This look suits indie authors, nature themes, and eco-minded library programs. Ask for current availability when selecting stock in the calculator.

Yes. Send your cover file or let Free Design Setup use it as a reference. We align colors, type style, and imagery so the bookmark feels like a physical extension of the book rather than a separate promotional piece. Matching brand and cover design builds recognition at signings, fairs, and retail displays.

Not always. Standard gloss and matte coatings protect well for everyday reading use. Soft-touch lamination or velvet finishes add extra scuff resistance when bookmarks circulate through library systems, live in school bags for months, or need to survive a busy book signing event without nicks or peeling edges.

Yes. Short runs starting at 100 work well for launch parties and author signing tours. If you plan multiple events across the season, ordering a slightly larger quantity up front reduces per-piece cost and avoids reorder lead time when the next event approaches faster than expected.

2x6 fits impulse bins, receipt stuffers, and point-of-sale display pockets cleanly. 2x8 works when you need a coupon code, loyalty URL, or event calendar on the back. Match size to how much copy you must fit without shrinking type below a comfortable reading size for your target audience.
