Silk Bookmarks | Cincinnati Minuteman Press
SILK BOOKMARKS

Smooth Silk Finish for Refined Bookmarks.

Silk Bookmarks are designed for reading programs, schools, libraries, churches, events, promotions, product inserts, reference guides, schedules, membership materials and branded giveaways where a narrow printed piece needs to remain useful long after distribution. The supplied estimator is the source of truth for the finished sizes, orientations, Printing, Paper / Stock or specialty material, finishing, Hole Drilling, packaging and turnaround shown on this page; unsupported choices are intentionally excluded. Choose the finished size and orientation first, then compare the supported printing and stock or specialty treatment based on durability, tactile feel, sheen and the way the bookmark will be handled. For Silk, the defining material or effect is explained separately so customers can understand how it changes the finished bookmark and any artwork setup that may be required. Use the matching template and File Requirements before submitting final artwork.

PRODUCTION SPECIFICATIONS

Silk Bookmarks Specifications

For printing terms and production definitions, visit our Glossary.

The specifications below are built directly from the supplied estimator for Silk Bookmarks. Grid options and calculator rows marked Yes under Show an Option are included in spreadsheet order, while quantity and pricing mechanics are excluded. Customer-facing terminology is standardized to Printing, Paper / Stock, Cut to Shape (Contour Cut), Hole Drilling, Shrink Wrapping, 2 Business Days, Upload Artwork Now, Provide Artwork Separately and Request Design Assistance without changing the underlying production choice. The approved Small Format Estimator is reused wherever an equivalent icon or illustration exists, including Printing, Paper / Stock, Lamination & Foil, Cut to Shape, Rounded Corners, Hole Drilling, Shrink Wrapping, supported Turnaround choices and Artwork. Custom illustrations are used only for bookmark-specific orientation, specialty surfaces and effects that are not available in the estimator. Options are consolidated only when the visible customer decision is genuinely the same.

If your project requires a bookmark size, stock, finish or production configuration outside the online estimator, request a Custom Quote.

Size & Orientation

Choose the exact finished bookmark size and artwork direction supported by the estimator. Horizontal and Vertical are illustrated separately because the same numeric size uses a different artwork orientation and filename dimensions depending on the selected direction.

Horizontal illustrationHorizontal
2"x4" · 2"x6" · 2"x8" · 3.5"x8.5" · 3.667"x8.5"

Horizontal artwork uses the bookmark dimensions in landscape orientation. This can work well for short informational cards, coupon-style bookmarks or pieces where the wider layout supports the design.

Vertical illustrationVertical
2"x4" · 2"x6" · 2"x8" · 3.5"x8.5" · 3.667"x8.5"

Vertical artwork uses the bookmark dimensions in portrait orientation, the traditional bookmark format for books, programs, promotions, reading lists, schedules and reference information.

ARTWORK TEMPLATES

Silk Bookmarks Templates

Choose the artwork template that matches the exact finished size, orientation and four-corner treatment selected for Silk Bookmarks. Bookmarks use the standard generic template filename convention with no category prefix: the filename dimensions are written in the actual artwork orientation, so a 2 × 6 bookmark uses 6x2.pdf when Horizontal and 2x6.pdf when Vertical. Each size is organized with Horizontal and Vertical rows where both orientations are supported, and the applicable template columns are Square Corners, 1/8-inch Rounded Corners and 1/4-inch Rounded Corners. Plastic Bookmarks do not show Square Corners because the spreadsheet offers only the two four-corner rounded treatments. Two-rounded-corner templates are never created. Hole Drilling, Shrink Wrapping and specialty surface effects do not create separate size templates because they do not change the outside rectangular artwork dimensions. Use the File Requirements section below for bleed, safety, resolution, color and final PDF preparation.

Use only the template matching the exact bookmark size, artwork orientation and applicable four-corner treatment selected in the estimator.

For additional artwork guides, visit our Generic Templates.

File Requirements

BleedExtend backgrounds and images beyond the trim edge where required.
Safety MarginKeep important text, logos and critical content safely inside trim and rounded-corner areas.
ResolutionUse production-quality images at the final printed size.
Color & FontsUse print-ready color and embed or outline fonts where appropriate.
PDF PreferredSubmit a print-ready PDF whenever possible. Foil selections also require the separate foil mask described in Specifications.

For bleed, safety margins, resolution and general artwork preparation, review our Print File Checklist.

Frequently Asked Questions

Silk Bookmarks FAQ

Silk Bookmarks are produced using the exact sizes, orientations, Printing, Paper / Stock, specialty effects, rounded-corner choices, Hole Drilling, packaging and production windows shown in the estimator. Choose the finished bookmark size and direction first, then select the stock or specialty material based on durability, texture, sheen, edge construction and the intended use. Rounded-corner choices change the outside profile and therefore use dedicated four-corner templates, while Hole Drilling does not change the outside artwork dimensions. Custom Cut to Shape, foil, Akuafoil, Foil Worx, Raised Foil and white ink can require separate cutline or mask artwork, so follow the setup instruction shown with the applicable option. Production turnaround begins after usable artwork, complete order details and required approvals are received and does not include shipping, delivery or pickup time.

Size & Ordering

How should I choose a bookmark size?

Choose a finished size based on the amount of information, the book or publication where it will be used, and whether the piece should feel compact, traditional or more like a reference card.

Should artwork be Horizontal or Vertical?

Use only the orientations listed in Specifications. Template filenames use the actual artwork dimensions, so Horizontal and Vertical versions of the same nominal size have different width-by-height filenames.

Material & Finishing

How do I choose Paper / Stock?

Compare stiffness, surface sheen, writeability, tactile feel, durability and compatibility with the selected specialty effect or intended handling.

What does Hole Drilling change?

Hole Drilling adds the selected opening but does not change the outside bookmark dimensions, so it does not create a separate size template.

Artwork & Templates

Which template should I use?

Use the exact size, orientation and four-corner template matching the order. Do not use a rounded template for Square Corners or substitute Horizontal artwork for Vertical.

Can I provide artwork later?

Yes. Choose Provide Artwork Separately, or Request Design Assistance if the file still needs design, cleanup, resizing, cutline setup or specialty-mask preparation.

Production

How fast can bookmarks be produced?

Use the Turnaround choices shown in Specifications. Eligibility depends on the complete stock, finishing and artwork configuration.

Does turnaround include shipping?

No. Production turnaround and shipping, delivery or pickup timing are separate and should both be planned for the required in-hand date.
