Metal photo bookmarks, UV printed on black anodized aluminum. Each one pairs an original photograph with a line worth keeping, from Shakespeare and Emerson to Frost, Cicero and Hemingway.
They are three things at once: a bookmark, a keepsake card, and a small gift that fits in an envelope. Slip one between pages, tuck it in a wallet, or send it instead of a card.
Why metal instead of paper
A paper bookmark softens, curls and eventually gives up. These are 0.2 mm anodized aluminum, so they stay flat, resist moisture, and will outlast the book you put them in. The edges are finished smooth so nothing catches or marks the page.
How they are printed
Every card is UV printed over a white ink base, which is what lets full colour hold its depth against black metal. Without that base layer the ink would sink into the dark surface and the photograph would go muddy. It is a slower way to print and the reason the images stay sharp.
All photographs are shot by Ryan Gilreath. Each bookmark is made to order in Hamilton, Ohio.
