Premium Silk Bookmark Printing UK
Make a lasting impression with our luxurious custom silk bookmarks. Printed on high-quality 350gsm or 400gsm silk paper, offering a smooth, vibrant, and professional finish.
Product Overview: Custom Silk Bookmarks
Welcome to Printways, the leading destination for high-quality silk bookmark printing in the UK. Whether you are looking for cheap promotional bookmarks for a massive marketing campaign or luxury silk bookmarks for premium corporate gifting, our bespoke printed silk bookmarks deliver exceptional quality at unbeatable trade prices.
Luxurious Feel & Vibrant Colours
Our custom silk bookmarks are renowned for their incredibly smooth, soft-to-the-touch finish. Unlike highly reflective gloss, a silk finish bookmark provides a sophisticated, low-glare surface that makes typography highly readable while keeping full-colour images vivid and sharp. This makes our silk card bookmarks the ultimate choice for custom author bookmarks, bookshop merchandise, and educational reading accessories.
Premium Paper Weights and FSC Certification
We believe that a great promotional printed bookmark should feel durable and substantial in the hand. That is why we offer our bespoke paper bookmarks on premium card stocks. Choose our standard 350gsm silk bookmarks for an affordable yet high-quality feel, or upgrade to our ultra-thick 400gsm silk bookmarks for maximum durability and a truly premium aesthetic. For environmentally conscious brands, we proudly offer FSC-certified silk bookmarks, ensuring your custom printed reading materials are sourced from responsibly managed forests.
Perfect Standard Sizing & Custom Options
All of our branded silk bookmarks are precision-trimmed to the industry-standard A7 strip size (148mm x 52mm). This dimension is the universally recognised sweet spot—large enough to display striking graphics and key business information, yet perfectly sized to fit seamlessly into standard paperbacks and notebooks. You have complete creative control: choose single-sided silk bookmark printing for a simple, cost-effective message, or maximise your real estate with double-sided printed silk bookmarks.
The Ultimate Versatile Marketing Tool
Personalised silk bookmarks are not just for books; they are highly versatile promotional print products. Businesses across the UK use our affordable silk bookmarks as mini price lists, appointment cards, discount voucher inserts, custom clothing swing tags, and event trade show giveaways. Because a custom page marker is genuinely useful, your target audience is far more likely to keep it, meaning your brand enjoys repeated exposure day after day.

Frequently Asked Questions About Silk Bookmark Printing
What are silk bookmarks?
Silk bookmarks are custom printed page markers produced on silk-coated paper. This coating offers a smooth, soft-touch finish with a subtle sheen that isn't as reflective as gloss, providing a premium, highly readable surface.
What is the exact size of your printed silk bookmarks?
Our custom silk bookmarks are cut to the classic A7 strip dimension, which measures exactly 148 x 52 mm, fitting perfectly into standard books.
What paper thickness options do you offer for silk bookmarks?
We offer high-quality, heavyweight card stocks. You can choose between our popular 350gsm silk bookmarks or upgrade to our ultra-thick 400gsm silk bookmarks for extra rigidity.
Can I print on both sides of the silk bookmark?
Yes, we offer both single-sided silk bookmark printing and double-sided printed silk bookmarks at highly competitive rates to maximise your promotional space.
Are your silk bookmarks environmentally friendly?
Yes, we offer FSC-certified silk paper options. This guarantees that the wood fibre used in your custom bookmarks is sourced from responsibly managed forests.
Can I add metallic foil to my silk bookmarks?
Absolutely. We offer custom foil stamping (including gold, silver, and copper) on our silk bookmarks to give your bespoke promotional items a luxurious touch.
How far should foiling be from the edge of the bookmark?
If you choose foil accents, please ensure your foiling area is placed a minimum of 3mm away from the final trim edge of the 148x52mm bookmark.
Do silk bookmarks have a shiny finish?
Silk bookmarks have a very subtle, elegant sheen. They are smoother than uncoated pulp paper but do not have the high glare and high reflection of gloss laminated bookmarks.
Are silk bookmarks good for writing on?
While you can write on silk bookmarks with a standard ballpoint pen or permanent marker, they are not as porous as uncoated pulp bookmarks, so ink may need a moment to dry.
What are custom silk bookmarks used for?
They are highly versatile and are used as promotional merchandise, corporate gifts, author giveaways, retail packaging inserts, event freebies, and educational rewards.
Do you offer cheap silk bookmark printing in the UK?
Yes, Printways provides highly affordable, cheap silk bookmark printing without ever compromising on print quality, making us a favourite for UK businesses.

Do I need to supply my own bookmark artwork?
Yes, you can upload your own custom print-ready artwork. We provide free templates to help you format your 148x52mm design correctly.
What resolution should my silk bookmark design be?
For the best full-colour print results, please ensure your design files are set to a minimum of 300dpi in CMYK colour format.
Can I order silk bookmarks in bulk for my marketing campaign?
Yes, we specialise in high-volume, bulk bookmark printing, offering significant trade discounts for large promotional print runs.
Are silk bookmarks durable?
Yes, printing on heavyweight 350gsm or 400gsm silk card ensures your bespoke printed bookmarks are sturdy, durable, and designed to withstand heavy daily use.
Do you offer design templates for A7 strip bookmarks?
Yes, we provide downloadable A7 strip (148x52mm) templates in PDF, Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign formats to ensure your bleed and safe zones are perfectly aligned.
What is the difference between silk and gloss bookmarks?
Gloss bookmarks have a highly reflective, shiny surface that makes colours pop vividly, whereas silk bookmarks offer a smoother, more refined, low-glare finish that looks highly professional.
Can I use silk bookmarks as wedding favours?
Definitely! Custom silk bookmarks are incredibly popular as personalised wedding favours, save-the-dates, or photo booth strip prints due to their luxurious feel.
Will the colours on my silk bookmark look vibrant?
Yes, the silk coating on the paper provides an excellent surface for ink absorption, ensuring your full-colour bookmark printing looks vibrant, sharp, and true to your design.
Can I use these bookmarks as clothing swing tags?
Yes, many UK fashion and retail brands use our A7 strip custom silk bookmarks as oversized clothing swing tags or premium product inserts. (Note: Hole punching is required separately).

How to Prepare Your Artwork
To ensure the highest quality print, please supply your artwork in PDF format. We recommend saving your files with the 'High Quality Print' preset. Here are a few essential tips for the perfect print:
- Bleed Area: Please include a minimum of 3mm bleed on all edges of your design. This ensures no white borders are left when we trim your product to the final size.
- Safe Zone: Keep all important text, contact details, and logos at least 3mm away from the trim edge.
- Resolution: All images and graphics should be supplied at 300dpi (dots per inch) for crisp, clear, and professional results.
- Colour Mode: Convert all RGB and spot colours to CMYK format before exporting your file to avoid unexpected colour shifts.
Understanding Paper Stocks & Finishes
Choosing the right paper stock can dramatically change the feel of your product. Here is a quick guide to our most popular options:
- Silk / Uncoated: A natural, non-reflective finish that is highly readable and easy to write on. Perfect for letterheads, forms, and elegant brochures.
- Gloss: A shiny coating that makes colours pop and images look incredibly vibrant. Ideal for flyers, posters, and photograph-heavy designs.
- Matt Lamination: A smooth, sophisticated finish that dulls reflections and adds a premium, tactile feel to business cards and luxury presentation folders.
- Spot UV & Foil: For maximum visual impact, add a glossy raised layer or metallic foil to specific parts of your design to draw the eye instantly.
