Next-Day Bookmarks
Order bookmarks by 2.30pm Mon–Fri and they are printed the same day and handed to a courier for delivery on the next working day, to any UK mainland address. That covers the book launch whose giveaway was forgotten until the final week, the school reading challenge starting next week, or the library display that needs a fresh run before the author arrives. Order later than the cut-off and production simply moves to the next working day, with delivery the day after.
The standard bookmark is 148 × 52 mm, the height of an A6 page, and custom sizes are available if you want a longer or wider format. Choose from 250gsm or 350gsm silk, 250gsm or 350gsm uncoated, or 300gsm Invercote G solid bleached board, printed single or double sided in runs from 25 to 250. Upload a print-ready PDF with 3 mm bleed, or design the bookmark online and we generate the file, and the product price is what it would be on any other day.

How next-day bookmarks work
Order by 2.30pm
Configure, upload your print-ready PDF (or finish a design online) and pay by 2.30pm Mon–Fri. Choose next-day delivery at checkout. Approve your artwork by the same time: production is scheduled from your approval.
Printed the same day
Your bookmarks are printed in our London print room the same afternoon on the card you selected, full colour on one or both sides, then trimmed to size and packed.
Delivered the next working day
A tracked courier delivers the next working day anywhere on the UK mainland. Weekends and bank holidays are skipped, and the dates above already account for that.

The next-day rule
Next-day delivery needs your order in, and your artwork approved, by 2.30pm Mon–Fri for delivery the next working day. Production is scheduled from your approval, not from the time you order, so orders placed or artwork approved after that, or at weekends and bank holidays, are dispatched on the next working day and arrive the working day after. Every order gets a free artwork proof within the hour; changes to the artwork itself are a priced service per file, back within the hour too.
Missed the 2.30pm cutoff but still need it on the next working day (that is tomorrow when you order Monday to Thursday)? Choose Tomorrow Delivery at checkout in London: priority production first thing on the next working day and a tracked courier the same day, priced like same-day.
What counts
- Working days are Monday to Friday, excluding England and Wales bank holidays; the print room is in London.
- Next-day delivery covers the UK mainland; Highlands, Islands and Northern Ireland rates and timings are shown at checkout.
- Print-ready artwork (PDF, 3 mm bleed) or a finished online design must be with us by the cut-off, because production starts as soon as you pay.
- Not in a hurry? Standard delivery is free to UK mainland addresses on orders over £25 and takes 3-5 working days.
Next-day bookmarks FAQs
Which bookmark stocks can I have printed for next-day delivery?
All five listed on this page: 250gsm and 350gsm silk, 250gsm and 350gsm uncoated, and 300gsm Invercote G solid bleached board. The 250gsm weights suit large giveaway runs, 350gsm silk gives a rigid card that holds its shape inside a paperback, and the uncoated stocks take a pen if readers will write on them. Pick the stock in the configurator and the price updates before you choose the delivery speed.
Can I print on both sides of a bookmark for next-day delivery?
Yes. Single and double sided both print the same day. Most customers put the cover image or logo on the front and use the reverse for the detail a reader returns to: a reading list, ISBN, quote, opening hours or a QR code. Choose the sides option in the configurator and supply a two-page PDF, or set both faces in the online designer.
What sizes and quantities are available next day?
The standard size is 148 × 52 mm, and you can enter your own width and height in millimetres for a custom format. Quantities run in tiers of 25, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250. Whatever size and tier you choose, the same cut-off applies: order by 2.30pm Mon–Fri and the run is printed, trimmed and on its way the same day.
I do not have artwork. Can I still order bookmarks for next-day delivery?
Yes, if you make one in the online designer: choose a bookmark template, add your cover art, photos or text, and approve it before 2.30pm. The print-ready file is generated for you the moment you approve. If you would rather upload, send a PDF at 148 × 52 mm with 3 mm bleed on every edge.
What is the cut-off if a bookshop needs counter stock before the weekend?
2.30pm Mon–Fri. Get the order in before then and the bookmarks print that same afternoon, ready for a courier to deliver on the next working day to any UK mainland address. Order after 2.30pm, or over a weekend or bank holiday, and the run simply shifts a day: printed on the next working day, delivered the day after that. The dates at the top of this page already work that out from today's date, so a bookshop manager can check before ordering rather than guess.
Does ordering bookmarks for next-day delivery cost more than a normal print run?
No, the bookmarks themselves are priced exactly the same regardless of when they arrive; only the delivery speed is charged at checkout, worked out for your address. A library display or bookshop reorder that is not urgent can instead choose standard delivery, which is free to UK mainland addresses on orders over £25 (£2.95 below that) and takes 3-5 working days. In London a same-day courier is also offered; it has its own cut-off and its own page.
