Give Students a Bookmark They Keep All Year

A student keeps a bookmark long after the flyer from the same backpack hits the recycling bin. It rides home inside a book, a planner or a library book, so your reading list, class schedule or school branding comes back out every time a page turns. For every shape and stock, browse bookmarks printing.

A class set of 50 costs $16.48 and a grade of 300 costs $38.45, about 13 cents each, so a whole-school order costs far less per bookmark again.

What Are Back to School Bookmarks

They are tall, narrow printed cards that sit between the pages of a book or planner. Schools and teachers reach for them when a flyer would get thrown away: reading incentives, class schedules, library due-date reminders, first-day gifts, book fair fundraisers and open house handouts. For the same shape without the school theme, see the Standard Bookmarks.

What Size Are Back to School Bookmarks

The 2" x 6" is long enough for a title, a logo and a QR code without feeling crowded. Step up to the 2" x 8" for a reading challenge, a month of due dates or a taller graphic. Rounded corners at a 3/8" or 1/8" radius keep the tips from bending in a backpack. For a tactile finish on the same shape, the Suede Bookmarks go upscale.

Pick a stock that survives a backpack

The default 14pt Gloss Cover keeps a bookmark clean and cheap, white linen gives a texture you can feel, and metallic pearl adds a little shine to a class gift. When it has to last the school year, the 15pt synthetic plastic and 18pt rigid vinyl PVC do not soften or tear like paper. Several stocks are made with 30 or 100 percent post-consumer waste for a greener run.

Add a tassel hole

Choose a single 1/8" or 3/16" drilled hole and thread a tassel or a ribbon so students can clip the bookmark to a folder or a backpack. Leave space for the hole at the top of your design; its position is not a choice on the order.

Design it without a designer

Pick a layout in our bookmark design templates and set the school name, the mascot and a reading challenge or schedule in the online editor. On a 2" x 6" strip, run one idea top to bottom and keep the type large enough to read in a book.

Built your own art? The blank back to school bookmark template is drawn at the real trim with the 1/8" bleed and the safe margin, so nothing important sits on the cut or under the hole.

How Much Do Back to School Bookmarks Cost

A school of 800 students costs $73.60, about 9 cents each, and a district order of 7,000 runs $176.61, under 3 cents each. A heavier stock, the UV coating, a hole, rounded corners or variable data add to the total. The slider below covers the first six tiers, from 50 to 500.

Wally makes a bookmark students keep all year

Why a $16.48 stack of bookmarks beats another photocopied handout.

Wally the 4OVER4 mascot handing a tall back to school bookmark, priced at $16.48 for 50, to a smiling student, teal hand-drawn line art.

Fifty back to school bookmarks cost $16.48, and a tall printed card sticks inside a book far longer than a flyer lasts. Print reading lists, class schedules, or school branding, add a tassel hole, pick your speed, and Wally gets them into students' hands fast.

Can You Print a Different Name on Each Bookmark

Yes. Turn on variable data and every bookmark in the run can carry its own student name, reading goal or code, so a class set becomes named reward bookmarks and a fundraiser batch becomes numbered raffle cards, all in one order.

Back to School Bookmarks: Frequently Asked Questions

Which hole size takes a tassel?

The 3/16" hole takes a standard tassel or a thicker ribbon more easily; the 1/8" hole suits a thin cord. Keep text and logos clear of the top of the bookmark where the hole goes.

Can the back carry a reading log?

Yes. Print 4/1 or 4/4 and give the back ruled lines or boxes for dates and pages, on an uncoated stock so students can write on it in pencil or pen.
