Size, material and presentation
Our standard metal bookmarks are 17 cm (6.7 in) long, with a decorative top about 2 cm (0.8 in) long. Large bookmarks vary by design, so check the measurements on the individual product page before ordering.
Each silhouette is laser-cut from steel and hand-finished by Atelier Article. Every bookmark is tied to a decorative wooden display block printed with “Reading is good for you,” then placed in a kraft envelope. This makes it ready to give as a teacher gift, book-club gift, graduation present or stocking stuffer.
Custom and bulk metal bookmarks
Atelier Article accepts custom bookmark work. We can create a laser-cut steel bookmark from a logo, silhouette, phrase or rough idea when the design is technically feasible. We also take bulk enquiries for wedding favours, corporate gifts, book clubs and bookstores. A fully custom design is quoted individually; feasibility, price and lead time are confirmed before you order. See custom options and request a quote.

Frequently asked questions
How do metal bookmarks stay in place?
Each design includes a hook or clip formed into the steel that grips the page edge when the book is closed. The bookmark sits flush against the spine rather than sticking out at a random angle — it stays anchored when the book is in a bag or on a shelf. No magnets, no moving parts, no fiddling.
What size are the bookmarks?
Standard bookmarks are 17 cm (6.7 in) long, with a decorative top about 2 cm (0.8 in) long. Large bookmarks vary by design; exact dimensions are listed on each product page.
Are metal bookmarks good as gifts?
Yes. Every bookmark is tied to a decorative wooden block printed with ‘Reading is good for you,’ then placed in a kraft envelope. The presentation is ready for teacher gifts, book clubs, birthdays, graduations, and other occasions.
Can I order metal bookmarks in bulk?
Yes. We fulfil bulk orders from 10 to 500+ pieces with no additional lead time for standard designs. Contact us before ordering to confirm availability and discuss packaging preferences — some bulk customers request unboxed pieces for their own gift packaging. There are no minimum order quantities for most designs.
Do you offer personalised engraving?
No — we don't offer personalised engraving or custom text on metal bookmarks. The designs are drawn and laser-cut in-house in Cherkasy; adding engraving would require a different production process. If you need a personalised piece, a handwritten card paired with a bookmark is the most popular alternative our customers use.
Do metal bookmarks damage books?
No. The steel is deburred and powder-coated, so the edges are smooth — it won't scratch pages or crease the spine. The hook grips the page edge, not the paper surface, so it's safe for everyday paperbacks and hardcovers.
