About 2x8 Bookmarks

 

The 2" x 8" bookmark is the extended-size format - one inch taller than the standard 2x7. That extra inch gives you meaningfully more design space for imagery, a longer message, event details, or a prominent QR code, while still fitting neatly in any book or planner without bending or folding over.

The 2x8 is especially well-suited for larger hardcover books, Bibles, and reference manuals. It is also the preferred format for event tickets, coupons, and schedule cards - the extra height makes important information easier to read at a glance. Printed on thick 14pt cardstock with full-color CMYK printing and gloss or matte coating.
