Quick Tips for Choosing the Right Paper Stock for Print Bookmarks

When selecting the perfect paper stock for your print bookmarks, keep these helpful tips in mind:

  • Cover vs. Text Stock: Remember that “Cover” stocks are card stocks, meaning they are thicker and more rigid, ideal for bookmarks requiring durability. “Book” or “Text” stocks are thinner papers, less suitable for standard bookmarks.
  • Understanding Finishes: High Gloss UV and Aqueous coatings provide a shiny, reflective finish, enhancing color vibrancy and offering protection. Matte Finish is non-glossy, providing a smooth, non-glare surface ideal for readability and a modern look.
  • Writability: High Gloss UV-coated stocks and possibly Aqueous-coated stocks are not writable. Uncoated and Matte Finish stocks are writable, allowing for personalization or notes.
  • Ink Considerations: Avoid heavy, dark ink coverage on uncoated stocks to prevent offsetting (ink transferring to the back of the sheet).
  • Color Appearance: Glossy stocks enhance color brightness and vibrancy, while dull and uncoated stocks provide softer, more muted colors.
  • C2S Definition: C2S stands for “coated two sides,” indicating that a gloss coating is applied to both sides of the paper stock.

By understanding these paper stock characteristics and considering your design and intended use, you can confidently choose the perfect paper stock to create exceptional print bookmarks that effectively represent your brand or message.
