Questions

How can I print bookmarks?

To print bookmarks well, open the PDF and choose actual size instead of fit to page. Load cardstock, print, then cut on the cut marks. Add a tassel through the dotted circle if you like.

Where can I print a bookmark for free?

Printing a bookmark for free at home works from this page. The Halloween bookmark PDFs are free for personal and classroom use. Please link to this page instead of uploading the PDFs somewhere else.

What is the best material to print bookmarks on?

Cardstock is the best paper for printed bookmarks because it stays stiff inside a book. A 65 lb cover stock, about 176 gsm, feeds through most home printers. Plain paper is fine for a test print.

What is cardstock paper?

Cardstock is a thick, stiff paper that holds its shape better than printer paper. For bookmarks, 65 lb cover, about 176 gsm, feeds through most home printers. You can find it in the paper aisle of office and craft stores.

Where can I laminate paper?

Laminating paper at home works with a small laminator or with self-adhesive laminating sheets. Many print shops and office supply stores laminate pages too. Cut the bookmarks out first, laminate them, then trim and add a tassel.

Is there a version that uses less ink?

The ink saver PDF has the same designs on white with colored outlines. It uses a fraction of the ink of the color version and still cuts to the same size.

Why is there a thin white edge after cutting?

Most home printers cannot print to the very edge of the sheet, so a thin white edge can show. The color runs to the cut marks, so cut on the marks and each bookmark is full color. If your printer adds a margin, trim a hair inside the marks.
