Hand Out a Magnet Nobody Throws Away
Survive the desk cleanout: a magnet bookmark is a flexible printed magnet with your full-color design on the front and a magnetic back that grips any metal surface, not a paper card that ends up in a drawer. Starting at $19.68 and rated 4.6 out of 5 across 13 reviews, it marks a page, lives on a fridge, or holds a phone number on a filing cabinet. Either way, it keeps your name somewhere it gets seen every day.
These little magnets punch above their size. They cost about the same as a printed card, they stick where a card cannot, and the fact that they are magnetic does half the marketing for you by keeping your name in view for months. Want to see how they sit next to our other keep-me giveaways? Browse the rest of the magnets range, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.
These magnets are priced to hand out in volume, and the more you order the less each one costs. Here is how the whole thing comes together, from price to size to how fast it ships.
What Are Magnet Bookmarks?
A magnet bookmark is a flat, flexible printed magnet, sized and styled as a bookmark that also clings to any metal surface. At 4OVER4 magnet bookmarks print full color on the front in 5 sizes from 2" x 3.5" up to 5" x 7", on a 17pt or 35pt indoor magnet stock, with an optional UV coating, all set in the live configurator.
Think of it as the promo piece that never gets thrown away. Instead of a paper card that ends up in a drawer, a magnet bookmark is printed on flexible magnet stock, so the front carries your design and the back grips any metal surface, from a fridge to a locker to a filing cabinet. People keep it in sight, which keeps your name in sight. You set the size, choose the 17pt or the heavier 35pt indoor magnet, pick full color or a single black on the front, and add a UV coating if you want the print to hold up. If you want a premium, rigid keepsake instead of a flexible magnet, the Metal Bookmarks cover that end of the range.
Magnet bookmark design ideas
The design brief for a magnet bookmark is narrow: it has to look right folded in half over a page, and it has to still make sense on a fridge. These are the layouts that keep working, grouped by who orders them.
- Book club, half and half. Club name on the top half, this year's reading list on the bottom half, so the visible tail sticking out of the book is the club name and the list is the part that hides in the pages.
- Book club, meeting card. Next three meeting dates and the host address, printed small, on a 2" x 3.5" that lives in the current book.
- Library card replacement. Branch name, opening hours and the renewals phone number, in type large enough for a reader who is not wearing their glasses.
- Library due date reminder. A blank white box the desk staff can write a date into with a pen, next to the branch logo.
- Genre spine strip. One color and one word per genre, mystery, romance, history, ordered as separate short runs so the color coding does the work in a display.
- School reading log. Numbered boxes down one side that a child ticks off per book, with the school mascot at the top. This is the one parents keep on the fridge, which is the point.
- Summer reading program. Program dates, the prize tiers and the sign up QR code, handed out at the door in week one.
- Author swag, cover art. The book cover on the front and the buy link or series order on the back, given away at signings and slipped into shipped orders.
- Author swag, series checklist. Every title in the series with a checkbox, which sells the backlist quietly every time the reader looks at it.
- Church, verse of the season. One verse, the church name and the service times, sized so the verse reads while the bookmark is in a Bible.
- Church, small group card. Group night, host and the address, handed out at the welcome desk.
- Bookstore or event giveaway. Shop logo on the front, a discount code and the web address on the back, printed at the 25 piece end to test a design before a big run.
Whatever the layout, keep the important line in the top third. That is the part sticking out of the book, and it is the only part anyone sees for the week the reader is halfway through.
How Much Do Magnet Bookmarks Cost?
Magnet bookmarks start at $19.68 at 4OVER4. Orders run from 25 magnets up to 25,000 across 30 quantity tiers, so a larger run lowers the per-magnet cost. The material, size, finish, and turnaround you choose adjust the total, and the configurator shows the exact price before you commit.
The entry point is $19.68, and pricing scales with the quantity you order. You can print as few as 25 magnet bookmarks or as many as 25,000, with 30 quantity tiers in between, and the per-magnet cost keeps easing down as the count climbs, so a full box for a trade show or a mailer costs far less per piece than a small test batch. Stepping up to the heavier 35pt magnet, adding a UV coating, or choosing a rush speed shifts the total, and every change shows in real time before you check out.
What Sizes Do Magnet Bookmarks Come In?
4OVER4 magnet bookmarks come in 5 set sizes, from a 2" x 3.5" magnet up to 5" x 7", including 3" x 4" and 4" x 6", and you can also order a custom size made to order up to 5" x 7". The default is the 2" x 3.5" magnet.
Size sets the job. The 2" x 3.5" magnet is the pocket-sized default, small enough to slip into a book or a mailer and cheap enough to hand out in volume. Step up to 3" x 4" or 4" x 6" when you want room for a calendar grid, a photo, or a short message, or go to the full 5" x 7" when the magnet needs to hold its own on a fridge door. Need an in-between shape? A custom size is made to order up to 5" x 7". The price follows the size you choose, and you set it right in the configurator.
How the Fold Decides the Size
A magnet bookmark is used folded, not flat. You bend it over the top edge of the page so the magnetic back of one half meets the magnetic back of the other, and the page is pinched between them. That is why the printed size and the size in use are two different numbers, and why the same design behaves differently in a paperback and a hardback.
- 2" x 3.5". Folded across the long dimension it gives about 1.75" of grip on each face, which is the sweet spot for a mass market paperback. It is light enough that it does not drag the page, short enough that it does not stick out past the fore edge, and small enough to slip into a shipped book or an envelope.
- 3" x 4". The bigger grip suits a trade paperback or a hardback, where the page is taller and a small magnet sits too low to find. It is also the smallest size where a logo and three lines of type both read while the bookmark is in the book.
- 4" x 6" and 5" x 7". These are display pieces first and page markers second. Folded, a 5" x 7" grips 3.5" of page, which is more magnet than a paperback wants and exactly right for a cookbook, a hymnal, a binder or a fridge. Order these when the artwork matters more than the marking.
Thickness changes the feel more than the size does. The flexible 17pt folds easily and lies close to the page, so it is the one for thin paperbacks and for anything mailed flat. The 35pt runs roughly twice as thick, holds a firmer grip and survives a school bag, but it does not want to fold as tightly, so it is better on the larger sizes and on a fridge than crammed into a paperback.
What Material and Finish Can You Choose?
4OVER4 prints magnet bookmarks on 2 indoor magnet materials: a flexible 17pt and a sturdier 35pt. The front prints in full color (4/0) or a single black (1/0) over a blank magnetic back, and a UV coating finish is available to protect the print. You set the material, ink, and finish in the configurator.
The magnet itself comes two ways. The 17pt indoor magnet is the lighter, more flexible option, easy to mail flat and quick to stick. The 35pt indoor magnet is roughly twice as thick, so it feels substantial and lies flatter against a surface without curling. Both are indoor magnets, built to hold their color and their grip in a home, an office, or a classroom. On the front you choose full color for a photo or logo, or a clean single black for something simple and text-forward, while the back stays blank so it works as the magnet. Add a UV coating when you want the print to resist scuffs and fingerprints and keep its shine.
All 5 sizes, both magnet stocks, and the ink, finish, and proof options are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it.

How Fast Can You Get Magnet Bookmarks Printed?
4OVER4 prints magnet bookmarks on a standard 5 business day turnaround, with faster rush speeds down to same day out of the New York City facility. You pick the speed in the configurator, and you can also choose a free online proof or a next-day hardcopy proof before the job runs.
Standard production is 5 business days, which keeps the price at its lowest. When a date sneaks up, faster speeds step the timeline down, all the way to same-day printing out of the NYC plant for the true deadline moments. Before anything prints, you decide how to check the file: send it straight to production, approve a free online proof, or order a next-day hardcopy proof to see the real thing in hand. Whichever speed you pick, you are choosing it up front, not gambling on the date.
What Do People Use Magnet Bookmarks For?
Magnet bookmarks work as reading companions, promotional giveaways, real estate and service leave-behinds, save-the-dates, calendars, and branded fridge or locker magnets. The magnetic back keeps them in view on any metal surface, and the printable front carries a logo, a photo, a phone number, or a QR code so the reminder stays useful.
Because a magnet bookmark sticks around, literally, it earns a spot the average handout never gets. Libraries and bookstores print them as reading companions with a logo and a return-visit nudge. Real estate agents, contractors, and dentists hand them out as leave-behinds that live on the fridge with a phone number always in reach. Shops turn them into mini calendars, coupons, and save-the-dates that stay stuck to a metal surface for months. Add a QR code to the front and the magnet does the typing, sending anyone who scans it straight to your site. One flexible magnet, a long list of small jobs it quietly keeps doing.
Ordering magnet bookmarks for a school or library
Institutional orders are why the quantity ladder here runs from 25 up to 25,000 across 30 tiers rather than jumping between a few fixed packs.
- Start at 25 to prove the design. Print 25 first, put them in front of the librarians or the teachers who will hand them out, then commit to the real number. At $19.68 to start, a proof run costs less than a mistake at 5,000.
- Size the run to the roster, not the guess. One per student per program is the number that matters. A single grade level, a summer reading program and a district wide handout are three different tiers, and the per magnet price eases down every time you move up one.
- Reading program handouts. Give the magnet at sign up rather than at the finish line. It works as the reminder for the whole program when it is on the fridge in June instead of arriving in August as a prize.
- Leave the date off the reusable ones. Branch hours and a mascot reprint next year unchanged. A year printed on the front turns 5,000 magnets into this year's magnets.
If the run is going into books rather than onto fridges, compare it with the paper versions first: bookmarks cost less per piece for a large handout, and gloss laminated bookmarks add a wipe clean finish that stands up to a school year without the magnet.
How Do Magnet Bookmarks Compare to the Range?
Magnet bookmarks are the value pick when you want a giveaway that stays put, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing a rigid keepsake like Metal Bookmarks, a pocket carry like PVC Keychains, or an eco-friendly handout like Recycled Tote Bags, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up magnet bookmarks against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

Why a $19.68 magnet bookmark outlives every paper handout.
A magnet bookmark starts at $19.68 and never lands in the trash, because the magnetic back keeps it on a fridge, a locker, or a book. Print full color on the front, pick a 17pt or a heavier 35pt magnet, set your size up to 5 by 7 inch, and Wally gets them printed fast, with same-day rush ready when you need it.
