Collection: Bookmarks & Tickets

2.5×7 Art Bookmarks

Widest canvas | Multi-design orders | Artist-first format

The 2.5×7 is the largest bookmark we make and the only one that supports multiple designs in a single order. The extra width (25% wider than the 2×7) gives illustration, character art, and photography more room to breathe, while the 7-inch height keeps the classic bookmark proportions intact. Built for artists who want to print a series, a variety pack, or a small collection without splitting it across separate orders.

Best for: Artist variety packs, illustration series, character art sets, multi-title author promotions, and any project where multiple designs need to ship together as a cohesive collection.

2×6 Bookmarks

Most compact  |  Lowest cost per piece  |  High-volume friendly

The smallest and most affordable bookmark format — ideal when quantity and cost-per-piece matter most. At 2×6, there's still plenty of room for a strong visual: character art, a book cover, a promotional design, or a social media handle and QR code. Slim enough to drop into shopping bags, mail with orders, or hand out freely at a convention table without thinking twice about the cost.

Best for: Giveaways, convention freebies, book promotional inserts, order fulfillment inserts, and any high-volume distribution scenario where cost-per-piece is the priority.

2×7 Bookmarks & Tickets

Most popular size  |  Balanced proportion  |  Dual-purpose format

The 2×7 is the sweet spot of the collection — enough vertical space to display real artwork or design detail while staying compact enough for any pocket or bag. It works equally well as a bookmark, a mini art print, a promotional card, and a general-purpose event ticket. The format most customers reorder after their first run.

Best for: Artist mini prints, book signings, promotional marketing, Author Alley and convention tables, and any situation where one format needs to serve multiple purposes.

2×7 Numbered Event Tickets

Sequential numbering  |  Optional perforation  |  Event-ready

The same 2×7 format specifically for ticketed events. Sequential numbering allows for raffle draws, admission tracking, and stub-based entry management. Optional perforation creates a tear-off stub — one half for the guest, one half retained at the door or drawn from a bucket for a raffle. Full-color printing means your ticket design can be as visually compelling as any other print you produce.

Best for: Fundraiser raffles, event admissions, theater and performance tickets, convention VIP passes, church events, and school functions.

2×8 Long Bookmarks

Maximum vertical space  |  Bold art & photography  |  Premium feel

Two extra inches can make a meaningful impact. The 2×8 gives artwork, photography, and detailed illustration room to breathe — a full character from head to toe, a sweeping landscape, or a design that uses vertical space intentionally rather than cramming into a smaller format. Feels more substantial in hand than a standard bookmark and commands a higher retail price point when sold as a mini art print.

Best for: Artists selling mini prints at conventions, photographers, detailed illustration, premium promotional bookmarks, and any design that benefits from an elongated vertical canvas.

Custom Hang Tags

Retail packaging  |  Product branding  |  One or two-sided

Hang tags transform a product from something you made into something someone sells. A well-designed hang tag on a print, a garment, a candle, or a handmade item signals that the product belongs in a retail environment — not just at a craft table. Printed in full color on premium cardstock, with optional hole punch for ribbon or string attachment.

Best for: Clothing and apparel, handmade goods, art prints sold in retail packaging, Etsy and market sellers who want their products to look shelf-ready, and product-based businesses building a branded unboxing experience.

Gloss Card

High-shine surface with vibrant, saturated color — the most eye-catching option under convention and retail lighting. Colors print with maximum punch. The right choice for bold illustration, character art, and any design where color impact is the selling point.

Best for: Fan art mini prints, promotional bookmarks, convention table displays, high-contrast designs.

Matte Card

Smooth, non-reflective finish with a refined, gallery-appropriate quality. No glare — ideal for photography and soft-palette illustration. Feels more sophisticated than gloss and reads as intentional rather than promotional. The preferred choice for authors, photographers, and artists whose work has a quieter aesthetic.

Best for: Author bookmarks, photography prints, editorial-style designs, hang tags for boutique products.

Kraft Card

A natural brown-toned uncoated stock with an organic, earthy feel. Designs print with a warm, slightly muted color palette that leans into the material rather than fighting it. Pairs beautifully with botanical illustration, handcrafted branding, and designs that benefit from a natural or eco-conscious aesthetic. A distinctive choice that stands out immediately in a stack of standard white-stock bookmarks.

Best for: Artisan and handmade brands, hang tags for natural products, botanical and nature-themed art, and eco-conscious packaging.

18pt Cardstock

An ultra-thick cardstock with a high-gloss UV coating on the front — the heaviest option in the collection. The moment someone picks it up, the difference is obvious: it doesn't flex, doesn't curl, and doesn't feel like something that came out of a printer. The UV coating amplifies color and adds a polished sheen that makes artwork genuinely pop.

Best for: Artist mini prints meant to be sold at a premium price point, bookmarks designed to be kept rather than discarded, hang tags on higher-end products, and any design where the physical weight and finish are part of what the buyer is paying for.

Sequential Numbering

Each ticket is printed with a unique sequential number — 001, 002, 003, and so on up to your total quantity. Essential for raffle draws where a specific number is called, and useful for admission tracking where numbered tickets make it easy to audit attendance. Specify your starting number in the order notes (most orders start at 001).

Perforation

A clean tear line across the ticket creates two sections: a stub that the guest keeps and a matching portion retained at the door or placed in a raffle container. Design your ticket so the number appears on both sections — the full ticket and the stub — so they can be matched if needed. Specify the perforation position (typically 2" from one end) in your order notes.

Designing a Ticket That Works

Leave clear space for the number in your design — don't place important graphic elements where the sequential number will print. For perforated tickets, design both sections of the ticket intentionally: the stub should carry the number and event name. Keep the tear line clearly indicated in your design file and note its position in your order instructions.

Artists & Convention Sellers

Mini prints on 2×7 and 2×8 bookmarks are one of the highest-margin, lowest-barrier products at an Artist Alley table. They stack flat, take up almost no space, and price at $2–4 each — an impulse buy for fans who love your art but aren't ready to commit to a full print. Bundle three for a small discount and watch the average transaction size climb.

Authors & Booksellers

A bookmark featuring your book cover, release date, and website is the single most practical promotional item an author can hand out — it lives in the thing your reader is already doing. Great for book signing events, bookstore partnerships, library promotions, and convention appearances where you want to leave something useful rather than something that goes straight in the recycling.

Events & Fundraisers

Numbered and perforated 2×7 tickets for raffles, admissions, and fundraiser draws. Full-color printing means your ticket can feature event branding, sponsor logos, and artwork — not just a number on blank white paper. A well-designed ticket signals that the event is organized and professional before the doors even open.

Retail & Product Sellers

Hang tags on kraft or matte cardstock branded with your logo, product name, and care instructions turn handmade goods into shelf-ready retail products. Etsy sellers, craft market vendors, and small apparel brands use hang tags to establish a professional product identity that justifies higher price points and builds brand recognition across repeat purchases.

Schools, Churches & Organizations

Bookmarks as reading incentives, attendance awards, and program handouts. Event tickets for school fairs, church fundraisers, community raffles, and club events. Small-quantity orders mean you're not stuck with a thousand tickets for a 200-person event. Order what you need, when you need it.

Resolution: 300–600 DPI

300 DPI at your finished bookmark dimensions is the minimum; 600 DPI is preferred for fine detail, small text, and intricate linework. At 2 inches wide, resolution errors are magnified — a file that looks acceptable on a large print can appear noticeably soft on a slim bookmark where the eye is drawn closely to the surface.

Bleed: 0.125" on All Sides

For full-bleed designs, extend background color or artwork 0.125" beyond the trim edge on all sides. On a 2×7 bookmark, this means your file should be 2.25"×7.25". Without bleed, the narrow width of a bookmark makes even a tiny white sliver on the edge very noticeable.

Safe Zone: 0.125" from Trim

Keep text, logos, and focal elements at least 0.125" inside the trim edge — at 2 inches wide, the margins are tight. Social handles, QR codes, and pricing information in particular should be well inside the safe zone so trimming variation doesn't clip a critical element.

Ticket & Hang Tag Notes

For numbered tickets, leave a clearly designated space in your design for the sequential number — a white box or open area in a consistent location on every ticket. For hang tags, indicate the hole punch position in your design or order notes so it's placed where your design accommodates it. Include both sides of the tag in your file if printing two-sided.
