Question

How much should I budget for easy DIY bookmark ideas?

Answer

The budget for DIY bookmarks ranges from almost nothing to a small per-piece cost once you move to professional printing.

  • Pure DIY: cardstock, tape, and basic craft supplies run under $10 for dozens of bookmarks.
  • Professional printing: custom bookmarks start at just a few cents per piece depending on quantity, stock, and finish.
  • Ordering 250 or more drops the per-unit cost substantially.

Gloss laminated is the value pick, while velvet and lenticular finishes cost more but deliver a premium look that can justify the spend for standout projects.
