Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What’s the best material for bookmarks?
A: For durability and longevity, laminated cardstock works best. It resists water, bending, and wear while maintaining appearance. Standard cardstock works well for budget-conscious short-term promotions.
Q: Should bookmarks be single or double-sided?
A: Double-sided maximizes space for messaging and looks more professional. Single-sided costs less and works well when you want a clean back for notes.
Q: What’s the minimum order quantity?
A: Minimums typically start at 250-500 bookmarks for custom designs. Digital printing makes small batches affordable. Wholesale pricing improves significantly at 1,000, 2,500, and 5,000+ quantities.
Q: Can you include variable data like individual names?
A: Yes! Variable data printing allows personalization—great for student awards, membership programs, or targeted marketing campaigns.
Q: How long do laminated bookmarks last?
A: Laminated bookmarks can last years with regular use. The protective coating prevents damage from moisture, folding, and handling while keeping colors vibrant.
