Free Templates: Bookmarks

Design custom bookmarks so you don’t have to dog-ear your books. Whether you’re speeding through the latest BookTok favorite or catching up for book club, a cute bookmark is the easiest way to keep track of what page you’re on. 1.5” x 7” is the most popular bookmark size, and it fits perfectly into most books. Design a bookmark for yourself or gift it to everyone in your book club. Not all book clubs are in person. If you run an online reading group on TikTok, then you can sell bookmarks as personalized BookTok merch. You know your viewers will get good use out of the book accessories.  

Cute bookmarks are essential library supplies, and librarians at a public library can use GotPrint’s bookmark designs as freebies for their yearly reading challenge. Teachers who want to encourage students to keep up with their assigned reading should pass out bookmarks at the beginning of the year. Prep for your annual book fair with cute bookmarks for sale. Outside of the classroom, authors can send free bookmarks as swag for their biggest fans.
