Kraft Bookmarks That Stay in the Book
A bookmark gets used every day, page after page, for weeks. That makes it one of the longest-lasting pieces of print you can hand out. Kraft bookmarks are printed on thick 18 pt brown kraft with natural fibers and subtle flecks, so they feel warm, bookish and a little handmade, just right for readers.
The paper is 100% recycled, so your bookmark carries an eco-friendly message every time someone opens their book. Print in full color for a rustic, vintage look, or add white ink to make your logo, cover art or QR code pop. It's an affordable giveaway that people actually keep.
The Paper: 18 pt Brown Kraft, 100% Recycled
Thick Brown Kraft Uncoated 18 pt: natural fibers and flecks, 100% recycled with at least 30% post-consumer waste, heavier than standard 14 pt and 16 pt stock, and writable with any ink.
At 18 pt, kraft bookmarks are stiff enough to hold their shape in a bag or between pages, and they won't crease the first time a book closes on them.
Rustic Color or Bright White Ink?
Printed straight on kraft, colors soak into the paper for a warm, vintage look. Add white ink (a white mask) underneath and they print bright and true. You can use it everywhere, nowhere or just in spots. A favorite on kraft bookmarks: a QR code on a small white box (spot white mask), so phones scan it easily, with the rest of the design straight on kraft. See the complete White Mask guide, and our Brown Kraft FAQs for mask file setup and printed side options.
