A Bookmark That Shines Like Metal
The name is a bit of a trick: a metal bookmark isn't actually metal. It's a slim 2" x 6" card printed on 16pt gloss cover, then pressed with a metallic foil accent on the front that catches light like the real thing. That shine is the whole point, turning a flat bookmark into something people hold onto, whether you slip one into every book you sell or tuck them into shipped orders as a keepsake. They start at $247.15 for 500 and hold a 4.9 out of 5 across 24 reviews.
These little cards punch above their size. The 2" x 6" shape slides between pages without crowding them, the 16pt gloss cover resists the bend and curl of daily use, and the foil accent does half the marketing for you. You set the ink to full color on the front with a blank back, or full color on both sides, then shape the finish and the hole below.
The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 500 starts at $247.15, roughly 49 cents each, and the per-bookmark cost keeps sliding as the count climbs toward 10,000, so a full box for a shop or an event costs far less per bookmark than a quick test batch. Every quantity is priced for value, part of 4OVER4's bulk discounts. Tap any tier below to see the live set total and exactly how much each step up saves before you commit.
What is a metal bookmark?
A metal bookmark from 4OVER4 is a 2" x 6" printed bookmark on 16pt gloss cover, finished with a metallic foil accent on the front for a metal-like shine. It prints full color on one or both sides, takes a high-gloss or spot UV coating, and can be drilled with a single 1/8" hole for a tassel.
Think of it as a bookmark that refuses to be ignored. The metallic foil accent lays a reflective, metal-look layer over your art, so a logo or a title glints on a shelf, in a book, or in a gift bag. The card underneath is still light and easy to slip into a paperback, which is what makes the shine feel like a surprise rather than a gimmick.
People reach for these when a plain paper bookmark would get lost: shop-branded bookmarks for a bookstore, launch giveaways, library and school handouts, and thank-you inserts for online orders. Because the foil catches the eye, the bookmark gets handled and kept instead of tossed.
How much do metal bookmarks cost?
Metal bookmarks start at $247.15 for 500 at 4OVER4, which works out to about 49 cents per bookmark. The price scales across 5 quantity tiers up to 10,000, so a larger run drops the per-bookmark cost to about 15 cents. Coating and ink options can adjust the total, and the live configurator shows the exact number before you order.
The entry price is $247.15 for 500 metal bookmarks. Order more and the math gets friendlier fast: 1,000 run $362.47, 2,500 run $587.64, 5,000 run $972.07, and 10,000 land at $1,455.35, about 15 cents a bookmark. That is five quantity tiers in all. A high-gloss or spot UV coating and your ink choice shift the total, and you see every change in real time.

What size are metal bookmarks and what stock are they printed on?
4OVER4 metal bookmarks print at one finished size, 2" x 6", on a single 16pt gloss cover stock. The 2" x 6" shape is the classic bookmark proportion, tall and slim to sit inside a book, and the 16pt gloss cover gives it enough weight to resist bending through daily use.
Every metal bookmark here is 2" x 6", the tried-and-true shape that slides between pages without crowding them. The stock is 16pt gloss cover, a firm, glossy card that holds up to being opened and closed a hundred times without curling at the corners. You do not have to guess at thickness or trim: the size and stock are set, so the only choices left are the ones that change how the bookmark looks. The full spec sheet is laid out below exactly the way the live configurator presents it, so you know what you can change before you change it.
Wally gives a plain bookmark a metal shine
Why $247.15 buys 500 bookmarks people keep on the shelf.
A metallic foil accent turns a 2 by 6 inch card into a bookmark that glints in the light, and 500 start at $247.15, about 49 cents each. Print full color, add high-gloss or spot UV, drill a hole for a tassel, and Wally sends them out on a 7 business day turnaround.
What finishes and metallic options can you add?
4OVER4 metal bookmarks always carry a metallic foil accent on the front. On top of that you choose the coating, No Coating, High Gloss UV, or Spot UV on the front side, and the ink coverage, 4 color on the front with a blank back or 4 color on both sides. Each option changes the finish while the 2" x 6" size and 16pt stock stay fixed.
The metallic foil accent on the front is what earns the name. It lays a reflective, metal-look layer over your art so a logo or title glints under light. From there you shape the finish: leave it uncoated for a natural gloss-cover sheen, add a High Gloss UV coat for an all-over shine, or choose Spot UV on the front to make one element pop against a calmer background.
For ink, print 4 color on the front with a blank back to keep costs down, or go 4 color on both sides when the back carries a message too. Three coatings, two ink setups, and one foil accent give a single-size bookmark a lot of ways to look premium.
Can you add a tassel hole to a metal bookmark?
Yes. 4OVER4 can drill a single 1/8" hole in each metal bookmark, or leave it with no hole. The 1/8" hole sits at the top of the 2" x 6" card and is sized for a tassel, ribbon, or string, so the bookmark can carry a decorative accent or hang from a display.
A tassel turns a bookmark into a gift. Choose the single 1/8" hole and every bookmark in the run ships drilled at the top, ready for a ribbon, cord, or tassel that you add yourself. Prefer a clean edge? Select no hole and the card stays solid. The hole is the finishing touch that makes a metal bookmark feel like a keepsake rather than an insert, and it pairs naturally with the metallic foil accent for something people want to keep on display.

How fast can you get metal bookmarks printed, and how do you proof them?
4OVER4 prints metal bookmarks on a standard 7 business day turnaround. Before printing you pick Straight To Production to save time, or Free Online Proof to review a digital proof of your art. Accepted files are PDF, JPG, and PNG, and the proof step catches layout issues before the foil and coating are applied.
Standard production for metal bookmarks runs 7 business days once your art is approved. Because a metallic foil accent and UV coating are involved, it helps to get the file right the first time, which is where proofing comes in. Choose Free Online Proof and you get a digital proof to check the trim, the foil placement, and the colors before anything goes to press.
In a hurry and confident in your file? Straight To Production skips the review. Upload a print-ready PDF, JPG, or PNG, and 4OVER4 handles the press work from there, backed by the same guarantees that come with every order.
