Cutting machines
How do I cut my bookmarks out?
Laminate the full sheet first, then cut. Cutting before laminating leaves exposed paper edges that wick moisture and peel over time.
- Scissors: fine for small runs. Slow but free.
- Guillotine: much faster for straight-edged bookmarks. Our go-to for market prep.
- Cutting machine (Cricut, Silhouette, Siser): best for rounded corners, shaped bookmarks or anything intricate. Laminated photo paper is thicker than vinyl, so you'll need more force and usually 2-3 passes.
