Description
Custom Die Cut Bookmarks
Not a rectangle with a hole punched in it — a bookmark cut into your shape, finished the way you'd finish a business card, because it deserves the same attention. Die cut bookmarks give you a piece of custom, dimensional print in a format most printers only offer flat and plain. If you can outline it, we can cut it — and once it's cut, you've still got every specialty finish on the table.
This Is The Card That Does It All
Every finish available anywhere else in our specialty lineup is available here:
- Custom die cut shape — your logo, your icon, your outline. Not limited to a rectangle.
- Hole punch — add a hole for ribbon, tassel, or a keychain clip, positioned exactly where you need it.
- Foil stamping — gold, silver, rose gold, or a custom color, pressed into the surface for a metallic shine that catches light.
- Embossing / debossing — raised or recessed texture for a detail you feel before you even see it.
- Spot UV & raised spot UV — glossy contrast on a matte surface, or take it further with a raised, tactile gloss that stands up off the page.
- Painted / colored edges — a finished edge in nearly any PMS color, metallic, or fluorescent, for the kind of detail people notice the second they pick it up.
Choose Your Stock Weight
- 16pt — our standard weight, selectable right in the options above. Sturdy, clean, and ready for everyday use — the right call for high-quantity orders, giveaways, and inserts.
- 32pt — noticeably thicker and more substantial in hand. A step up for retail, gifting, or anywhere you want the bookmark itself to feel like a premium object. Not listed in the dropdown yet — just reach out and we'll get it added to your order.
- 48pt — our heaviest option. Rigid, substantial, almost card-stock-meets-keepsake. Best for limited runs, signature pieces, or anything meant to be kept, not just used. Not listed in the dropdown yet — just reach out and we'll get it added to your order.
Whether you're a bookstore, a publisher, an author running a book launch, a wedding or event planner looking for a favor nobody else is handing out, or a brand that wants a piece of print people actually hang onto — this is a bookmark built to be noticed, not just used once and forgotten in a drawer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I combine multiple finishes on one bookmark?
Yes — foil, embossing, spot UV, painted edges, and a custom die cut shape can all be combined on the same piece. Most of our most eye-catching bookmarks use two or three finishes together.
Do I need a hole in my bookmark?
No — it's entirely optional. Skip it for a clean, simple silhouette, or add one if you want to attach a ribbon, tassel, or charm.
What stock weight should I choose?
16pt is our standard, built for volume and everyday use. 32pt and 48pt are heavier, more substantial options — 48pt in particular feels more like a keepsake than a giveaway, so it's a strong choice for limited runs or anything meant to be kept.
Does a custom die cut shape cost more?
Yes, the same way it does on any of our die cut products — the more intricate the shape, the more setup is involved. Simple silhouettes cost less than fully custom, detailed shapes.
I don't see 32pt or 48pt in the dropdown — can I still order it?
Yes — those weights are available, just not listed as a standard option yet. Reach out to us directly and we'll get it added to your order.
