Silk Bookmarks

The soft-touch finish feels premium, the laminated card takes the bends and spills a bookmark meets, and the tall shape holds a title, a logo and a QR code. Every bookmark style we print is on bookmarks printing; the choices below build the silk one.

The first step matters most: 100 silk bookmarks cost $200.84 and 250 cost $226.11, so two and a half times the bookmarks add only $25.27. At 5,000, enough for a book tour, each one comes to about 14 cents. The 6 tiers below give the total at each count.

What Are Silk Bookmarks

Silk bookmarks are printed bookmarks made on a 16 point card with a silk lamination film on both sides, printed full color in 2 sizes, a 2" x 6" or a longer 2" x 8". Authors, libraries, schools, bookstores and event hosts order them for launch promos, handouts, giveaways, favors and inserts for shipped orders, where a paper marker would feel cheap. The finish feels premium, so readers keep and reuse them. If you want a different premium finish, the Velvet Laminated Bookmarks sit right beside these as another soft-touch pick.

What Size Should a Silk Bookmark Be

Both sizes keep the tall bookmark shape; the choice is how much you need to say. The 2" x 6" default fits a title, a logo and a QR code without crowding. The 2" x 8" adds room for a book blurb, a reading list or a design that sticks further out of the pages. Both sizes and both ink options appear below in the configurator's order. For a glossier look at the same price, the Gloss Laminated Bookmarks are the shinier sibling.

Three choices decide how a silk bookmark works for you.

Lean into the soft-touch finish

The silk lamination gives a smooth, velvety matte that deepens your colors and protects the print from fingerprints, bends and moisture. Keep the design clean, and a simple logo on a rich background looks expensive on it. If you want an even softer, suede-like hand, the Suede Bookmarks carry the same idea a step further.

Put the QR code to work

A tall bookmark is a natural frame for a QR code. Print your cover or handle on the front, drop a scannable code on the back with 4/4 both-sides printing, and a reader scans it to reach your buy page, a reading list or a sign-up.

Design it without a designer

Pick a layout in our bookmark design templates, place your book cover or logo, and set the title and colors in the online editor. On a 2 inch wide strip, one image and a short line read better than a paragraph.

If your artwork is ready, download the blank silk bookmark template. It is set at the real trim size with the 1/8" bleed and safe margin drawn in, so your design stays clear of the cut. Pick the size that matches your order, place your art and upload.

How Much Do Silk Bookmarks Cost

A set of 100 costs $200.84, about $2.01 each, and 5,000 cost $693.46, roughly 14 cents each. Set the slider below to your print run or your event head count and read the set total and the per-bookmark cost together.

Can You Print on Both Sides

Yes. Choose 4/0 to print full color on the front with a blank back, or 4/4 to print full color on both sides. With 4/4 you put a cover or logo on the front and a blurb, a reading list, a discount code or a QR link on the back, so the 2 inch strip carries as much as a small flyer.

How Do Silk Bookmarks Compare to the Rest of the Range

This is the soft-touch bookmark. If you are also pricing a glossier surface, a velvet hand or a suede feel, the chart below puts silk bookmarks beside those siblings with the starting price of each.

How Fast Can You Get Silk Bookmarks

Silk bookmarks print on a 4 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 amount on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Order in time for the same-day cutoff and your bookmarks ship that afternoon from the NYC plant, and with 99.8% of orders landing on time and 82% shipping early, you are not gambling on the date.
