Print a Bookmark People Actually Keep
Slip one between the pages of a paperback and it gets picked up every single reading session, which makes a bookmark one of the rare printed pieces people choose to keep instead of toss. It lives inside a book and puts your name in front of someone day after day, and bookmarks start at $16.48 for a set of 50, rated 4.9 out of 5 across 89 reviews by the businesses that have printed with 4OVER4.COM since 1999. Whether you are a bookstore tucking one into every sale, an author signing at a fair, a library running a summer challenge, or a school handing out reading rewards, a bookmark keeps working long after a flyer gets tossed.
These tall little cards punch above their size. They cost only a few dollars to print, they sit in a spot people return to on purpose, and the shape leaves room for a full-length illustration, a reading list, or a promo down the side. Want to see how they sit next to the rest of the range? Browse every style on bookmarks printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.
The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 50 starts at $16.48, and the per-bookmark cost keeps sliding as the count goes up, so a full box for a book fair or a school year costs far less per piece than a quick test batch. Tap any tier below to see the live set total and exactly how much each step up saves before you commit.
What Are Custom Bookmarks?
Custom bookmarks are tall, narrow cards printed full color in 2 sizes, a 2" x 6" and a 2" x 8", on any of 20 stocks. People reach for them because a bookmark gets used instead of discarded: reading rewards, bookstore inserts, author signing giveaways, library programs, church and study cards, and branded gifts that sit on a nightstand. You print the front only (4/0), the front plus a black back (4/1), or full color on both sides (4/4), and the price updates live as you build. If you want a different feel in the hand, the Soft Touch Bookmarks and Kraft Bookmarks are close cousins with a velvety or natural finish.
What Size Should a Bookmark Be?
The right size comes down to how much you need to say. The 2" x 6" is the classic reader's bookmark, the length that tucks neatly between pages and still leaves a tab above the spine. Step up to 2" x 8" when you want more canvas for a full-bleed illustration, a reading list, a calendar strip, or a longer message down the length. Need something in between? Set a custom size in the configurator. Both sizes, both finishes and the full stock list are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it.
Here are a few easy ways to make a bookmark pull its weight.
Pick a stock that feels like more
A heavier coated stock gives a bookmark real presence in the hand and helps it survive daily use. A soft touch finish reads velvety, metallic pearl catches the light, and the 24pt Ultra Thick Gloss feels like a chip. Several stocks are made with recycled content, from 30 percent post-consumer waste up to a 13pt uncoated at 100 percent, and the 15pt synthetic plastic and 18pt rigid PVC shrug off spills. The default 14pt Gloss Cover keeps it clean and cheap, and a High-Gloss UV Coating makes a photo or logo snap.
Add a hole and a tassel
A drilled hole turns a printed card into a proper bookmark. Add a single 1/8" or 3/16" hole, usually at the top, and thread a tassel or ribbon through it, the finishing touch that makes a bookmark feel like a gift rather than a handout. Soften the shape with rounded corners at a 3/8" or 1/8" radius so nothing snags or dog-ears in a bag.
Design it without a designer
You do not need a design background to make a bookmark look sharp. Start from one of hundreds of free, professionally built layouts in our bookmark design templates, then change the colors, copy and logo in the online editor in minutes. The tall, narrow canvas actually helps, since one strong image fills it top to bottom.
Already have your artwork? Skip the editor and download a press-ready blank instead. Each blank bookmark template is built at the real trim size with the 1/8" bleed and safe margin already drawn in, so your design never crowds the cut. Grab the size that matches your order below, drop your art in, and upload.

How Much Do Bookmarks Cost?
Bookmarks start at $16.48 per set of 50, and the per-bookmark price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 100,000, so a cheap bookmark really comes down to how big a run you order. A set of 100 runs $25.27, 200 run $31.86, and 1,000 run $86.78, across 40 quantity tiers in all. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the set total and the true per-bookmark cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.
Can You Print a Name or Code on Each Bookmark?
Yes. Turn on variable data and you can drop a unique name, a serial number or a one-off code onto every single bookmark in the run, so each one ships personalized instead of identical. That turns a bookmark into a numbered reading-challenge card, a keepsake with a real recipient, or a coupon where every code is different. Choose the Yes, Variable Data option, upload a spreadsheet that maps one row per bookmark, and the design stays fixed while the details change. Pair it with full color on both sides, a drilled hole and a finish that fits, and a simple 2 by 6 inch card starts doing the work of something much larger.
How Do Bookmarks Compare to the Rest of the Range?
Standard bookmarks are the value pick when you want the classic paper feel at the lowest price, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing a velvety soft touch, a natural kraft, or a tougher laminated finish, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up bookmarks against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

How Fast Can You Get Bookmarks?
Bookmarks print on a 3 business day standard turnaround, and when a date sneaks up you can move that to 2-Day, Next-Day or even Same-Day production. Each step buys back time for a set percentage on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Same-Day orders need to be approved by noon EST to ship that day. Compare every turnaround tier below and see exactly what the rush adds before you pick, whether it is a book fair, a launch, or the first day of school.
See the Rest of Our Range
Bookmarks are one stop in a much larger lineup, and you can scan the full print product range any time. If a laminated finish, a natural kraft or a metallic stock would serve you better, the rest of the family is one tap away. Each option shows its own starting price and links straight to its product page, so finding the right fit takes seconds.
