Are you familiar with the various crafts used to create bookmarks?

Bookmarks, this small and exquisite cultural and creative product, actually has a variety of crafts. Today, let’s talk about several common bookmark printing and production techniques and see their respective characteristics!

1. Lacquer Bookmarks

Lacquer bookmarks feature vibrant colors, crisp lines, and a strong texture. The texture of metal is particularly striking under the lacquer process. The concave portion can be painted with a paste pigment, while the raised portion features an electroplated metallic effect. However, lacquer bookmarks can only be produced in spot colors (Pantone colors), not gradients.

2. UV Printed Bookmarks

UV-printed bookmarks are exquisitely crafted, with vibrant colors and a strong metallic texture. They can be produced in both gradients and spot colors, with a wide range of color requirements. Whether using flat or intaglio printing, they can create a variety of effects.

3. Hollow Bookmarks

Hollow bookmarks are a more complex process, with various methods including etching, intaglio, and embossing. Generally speaking, brushed copper or electroplated copper are common choices. These bookmarks not only offer a unique appearance but also create a three-dimensional effect.

Whether it’s lacquer, UV printing, or hollowing, each technique offers its own unique aesthetic and application. Choosing the right bookmark not only enhances your book, but also makes it a thoughtful gift for your business or family.
