Schools and readers
Build a bookmark around a reading message, library event or your own approved illustration. Keep the message short enough to read comfortably.
Turn a small piece of print into something readers can keep. Create bookmarks for schools, authors, bookshops, businesses or a personal keepsake using your wording, artwork and photographs. Bring a finished design, or ask for help arranging the front and back.

Build a bookmark around a reading message, library event or your own approved illustration. Keep the message short enough to read comfortably.
Connect a cover design with an author name, title or useful web address. Choose the details a reader should take away from a launch or shop visit.
Use a logo, photograph or personal message in a design made for the people receiving it. Give the main image room and avoid crowding it with small text.

A clear illustration, a favourite reading theme or a useful message gives the design a focus. For schools and reading events, decide whether the bookmark should promote the event, carry a reading reminder or simply mark the page.
Send your approved wording and artwork. Tell us who will use the bookmarks and how many you need, so the design and print quotation can be planned around that use.
A bookmark can use an image on one side and useful details on the other. Keep the title, author name, website or contact information easy to find rather than trying to fit a whole leaflet into a narrow space.
If you want to use a published cover, author portrait, logo or other artwork, confirm permission before supplying it. A small image taken from a website may not be suitable for print; send the original file where available.
We can work from your supplied layout or discuss design help. The printed sides, dimensions and paper are agreed for your job.


For a personal bookmark, start with a photograph and a short message that belong together. Supply a clear original image, and tell us which people or details must remain visible.
A narrow format may need a different crop from the photograph on your phone. Review that placement in the proof, especially faces and details near the edges. Include only wording and photographs you have permission to reproduce.
Decide what the front should show first, then use the back for supporting wording. Leave enough space for text to read clearly and check the orientation of both sides.
Tell us the finished dimensions you have in mind, or bring an example bookmark. Paper, printed sides and any additional requirements are confirmed before production. Accessories shown in design examples are not automatically included.

Review the front and back together. Check spelling, names, contact details, image crops and text size before approving the final artwork. Look at the layout at its intended size rather than judging only from an enlarged screen view.
Confirm the specification with the quotation, including the quantity, dimensions, printed sides and any agreed extras. The proof checks the approved layout; it does not make unconfirmed finishing or accessories part of the order.
Yes, provided you have permission to reproduce it. Send the highest-quality original file you have. Its suitability and crop are checked for the chosen bookmark layout.
Yes. Send your wording, images and idea, or ask for a new layout. Artwork preparation is quoted for the work required.
Tell us what you want on each side. The printed sides, paper and final specification are confirmed in your quotation.
Accessories and additional finishing are not assumed from the examples. List any request in your enquiry so availability and cost can be confirmed separately.
Send the intended use, approximate quantity, size if known, artwork and required date. We discuss the specification and confirm the quotation and completion date for your job.
Send your artwork or idea, approximate quantity, size if known and required date. Tell us who the bookmarks are for and whether you need design help. We will discuss the specification and confirm the quotation and completion date for your job.
