A Guide to Standard Bookmark Dimensions
Custom bookmarks are highly underrated promotional tools. For authors, public speakers, bookstores, and libraries, they offer a highly retained piece of marketing that lives inside a customer’s favorite novel for months. However, choosing the right size and paper stock is critical to ensure it functions perfectly without damaging the book.
The Perfect Reading Companion
A bookmark needs to be sturdy enough to hold its shape but slim enough to stay out of the way.
- The Standard Size: 2 x 6 inches is the accepted industry standard, fitting perfectly inside everything from small paperbacks to massive textbooks.
- The Material: We highly recommend using 14pt uncoated paper. This matte finish is best for reading environments because it eliminates harsh glare under reading lamps.
