CrossTimber's personalized Bookmarks are little treasures of encouragement! YOU get to personalize the bookmark with any name, and a custom message on the back or front! Bookmarks are printed edge-to-edge, full-color on heavy 10pt, glossy, photo-grade card stock, and then laminated with 3.4mil.
In other words, they're beautiful, large, personalized bookmarks! The colors are crisp and vibrant, and the laminate ensures years of durable encouragement. On the reverse side is our website address and a Bible verse highlighting the importance of names, like Proverbs 22:1,
“A good name is to be chosen above great riches.”

Then you can choose between a personal message on the back or a custom text on the front in place of the inspirational quote.
