Kraft Bookmarks
Important Artwork Notice!
If you have CMYK images on your kraft product, when printing only 4-color, (ie: 4/0, or 4/4), colors will appear different to when printed on a white paper. CMYK images cannot be printed "true to color" on kraft cardstock without using a 5th Color White as a backer to your CMYK images(s). If you are color critical, please make sure to select Optional White Ink (ie: 5/0, or 5/5 if your job has double sided printing).
In addition, if you do not use a 5th Color White, elements in your design that are white will be blank (hence show the brown paper). The paper stock will affect the way that colors appear due to the slightly translucent quality of the ink (you will see the brown paper through the ink, especially in lighter shades). Colors in the orange, yellow, brown spectrum will tend to not be visible as the brown color of the paper will not contrast enough with the ink. This occurs with light and pastel colors as well. Review the information at the link provided before ordering this product.

Give Readers a Bookmark They Actually Keep
These bookmarks print on warm, uncoated brown board with a natural texture you can feel. Kraft bookmarks start at $40.23 for 100, rated 4.6 out of 5 across 5 reviews. The recycled brown board looks handmade, and readers tend to keep it in the book they are reading. Hand them out at a bookstore counter, tuck one into every shipped order, or set one at each place at an event.
They cost about the same to print as a stack of flyers and last far longer, and the recycled stock tells customers something about your brand. Every other bookmark style sits on bookmarks printing; the choices for this one follow below.
An author signing at one store orders 100; a bookshop tucking one into every sale for a season orders 500 or more, where each bookmark costs about 24 cents. The tiers below list the total for each quantity and what the next step saves.
What Are Kraft Bookmarks
Kraft bookmarks are single-sheet bookmarks printed full color on one stock, an 18pt Kraft Uncoated Cover made from 100% post-consumer recycled fiber, in 2 sizes from 2" x 6" up to 2" x 8". They suit places where a glossy white strip would feel wrong: indie bookstores, authors, libraries, cafes, and any brand building an eco story. The brown recycled board is what customers notice first. If you want a coated, glossier strip instead, the Standard Bookmarks cover that, and the kraft version sits right beside it as the natural, recycled pick.
What Size Should a Kraft Bookmark Be
Two shapes are offered. The 2" x 6" is the standard bookmark, tall and slim, with room for a title, a logo, and a short line of copy. Step up to the 2" x 8" when you want extra length for a quote, a reading list, or a hole near the top for a tassel. Both sizes print on the same 18pt kraft stock, so the only thing that changes is how much room you have to fill. The specs panel below lists the sizes, ink options and proofing in the groups you see when you order.

How Much Do Kraft Bookmarks Cost
Kraft bookmarks start at $40.23 per 100, about 40 cents each, and the per-bookmark price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 1,000, so the per-bookmark price comes down to the size of the run. A run of 250 is $65.23 and 500 is $120.81, which lands each bookmark near 24 cents. Set the slider below to your event or order count to see the total and the per-bookmark cost.
What Stock Are Kraft Bookmarks Printed On
The one stock is an 18pt Kraft Uncoated Cover, thick enough to survive daily page-turning, spun entirely from post-consumer recycled paper, and left uncoated so it keeps that warm, tactile brown surface. Because kraft is brown, standard ink reads muted, so there is a white-ink option: choose 5/0 to lay CMYK over a white base and your colors and light text stay bright instead of sinking into the board. For a stamped look, skip the white and let the kraft show through. For a coated, protected surface instead, the Gloss Laminated Bookmarks and the velvety Soft Touch Bookmarks are two finished alternatives in the same lineup.
If your artwork is finished, download a press-ready blank sized to the exact bookmark trim, with the bleed and safe margin already drawn in, so a quote or a title stays clear of the cut. Pick the size that matches your order below, place your art, and upload.

Kraft Bookmarks: Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes do kraft bookmarks come in?
Two: a 2" x 6" classic bookmark and a taller 2" x 8". Both print full color.
What is the stock made from?
18pt kraft uncoated cover made from 100% post-consumer recycled fiber. The natural brown color comes from the paper itself rather than from a printed background.
Will my colors look right on brown paper?
Brown stock mutes light inks, so an optional white-ink layer is available to lay opaque white under the artwork and keep colors bright. Dark inks and designs that use the bare kraft as a background read well without it.
How many do I need to order and what do they cost?
100 bookmarks start at $40.23, about 40 cents each, dropping to roughly 24 cents each at a run of 500.
Can both sides be printed?
Yes, choose full color on the front only or on both sides. A printed back gives room for a reading list, a discount code or your shop details.
How quickly can they ship?
Standard turnaround is 5 business days, with a 2 business day rush when you need them for a launch or a market date.
