Question
Is it cheaper to make bookmarks myself or have them printed?
Answer
The budget for DIY bookmarks ranges from almost nothing to a small per-piece cost once you move to professional printing.
- Pure DIY: cardstock, tape, and basic craft supplies run under $10 for dozens of bookmarks.
- Professional printing: custom bookmarks start at just a few cents per piece depending on quantity, stock, and finish.
- Ordering 250 or more drops the per-unit cost substantially.
| Finish | Relative cost |
|---|---|
| Gloss laminated | Most budget-friendly |
| Velvet | Premium feel, higher cost |
| 3D lenticular | Highest, most eye-catching |
Gloss laminated is the value pick, while velvet and lenticular finishes cost more but deliver a premium look that can justify the spend for standout projects.
