Bookmarks printed on hefty 23 point thick chipboard stock tell a tale of your good taste and stewardship for the environment. Not only can you print a wide palette of colors, you can also print in white ink to back up the other colors and create striking, contrasting design elements.
These bookmarks are printed in Canada
This brown kraft chipboard stock is a natural choice for an artisanal and organic appearance, it also happens to be made from 100% recycled post-consumer fibers - so no new trees are cut to make these bookmarks.
*Please note the hue of this stock may not match prior prints.
Clubcard prints these bookmarks on a Hewlett Packard Indigo press that produces top quality photographic images and color consistency, even on future reprints.
Custom Size Bookmarks are available: please select the next largest size you can see online that will fit your trim size. Supply your files at your trim size and be sure to indicate that trim size in your order notes.
The text in the supplied file uses a very small point size, which due to the lower halftone resolution used with indigo printing, could cause the type to appear “broken-up” or make it illegible. For best results with small type, we recommend using 100% K black as opposed to grey.
Don't use rich black on Indigo printing, it can cause issues with misregistration. 100% K will be just fine. If using grey, a black-ink only grey will give also give you best results.
For spot white printing, we require you supply a separate additional page showing the spot white areas (eg: images, text etc.).
Tightly registered detail using Spot White can cause 'haloing', where the spot white might not exactly align with the CMYK elements. Anywhere that the white and CMYK tightly register and end together should be avoided.
Because this is a colored stock, some colors are hard to read (like yellow/oranges, med browns, greens). If you are concerned that your color won't be visible, please request a hard copy proof.
The minimum recommended text size is 6pt. With any small text, if grey use a Black Ink Only version; if Black, use 100% K.
Anything thinner than a hairline stroke (0.25") - even at 100% K may look choppy when printed due to Indigo print resolution.
There is a screen to the Indigo print which customers should be aware of if they're comparing to traditional offset printing.
Heavy ink coverage can be problematic. When the cards rub together, the ink can rub off. This can be an issue for corner rounding so we generally advise clients with heavy coverage not to round corners.
Bleeds: all files must have a 1/8" bleed on each side
Live Area: keep all critical text and artwork 1/8" inside the trim
Colors: supply your files in CMYK color (Pantone/RGB colors will be converted or rejected)
Spot White: Include a separate file/artboard with these elements colored with Pantone Black to denote the special finishing. Alternatively, if you would like to include these elements in the same file, place these elements on a separate layer and colored with a Pantone color (typically Pantone Black) that denotes the Spot White.
Resolution: 300 dpi minimum (400 dpi preferred)
Fonts: fonts must converted to curves/outlines (we do not accept fonts).
Transparencies: flatten all transparencies
Types Of Files We Accept: MAC & PC files from Photoshop (PSD), Illustrator (EPS or AI), CorelDraw (CDR or EPS), Adobe Acrobat PDF, TIFF or JPEG.
