  1. Open the saved PDF in your PDF viewer. On a phone, use Save or Share if it opens in a browser.
  2. Choose US Letter (8.5 × 11 in) or A4 (210 × 297 mm) paper to match the file.
  3. Set the page range to 2, portrait orientation, and 100% / Actual size. Check the print preview before printing.
  4. Place the flat sheet in an existing frame or upright holder. It is a poster, not a folding tent card.

No color printer needed. If your printer clips the edges, use Fit to printable area for the sign. For labels on page 1, use the sizing instructions on the templates page.

Put the sign where the choice happens

Place it behind a single row of wrapped books, high enough that the front row does not hide the instructions. Stand where a reader would approach: can you read the heading and see each book’s clues? Move the sign closer if you need to lean in.

Library or classroom

Add a separate small note with your local borrowing rule: “Choose one, check it out at the desk, then unwrap.” For a classroom, say whether students may swap a book that does not suit them. Keep reading level and content notes visible on individual labels; the shared sign cannot describe every book.

Book swap or gift table

Place the sign beside the starting point and add your swap rule, such as “Bring one wrapped book, choose one to take home.” For a shop, show the price separately and clearly. The free sign does not contain prices or checkout rules.

Finish the display

Use matching printable labels for the books. Choose titles from our horror or romantasy shelves for a themed display, or browse all book ideas.

Need the rest of the process? Follow the illustrated wrapping guide and teaser examples. Keep general instructions on the sign and book-specific clues on the wrappers.

Kraft wrapping paper

Choose a sheet or roll wide enough to cover your book. A reused paper bag works too.

Full-sheet sticker paper

Choose Letter or A4 to match your PDF and check inkjet or laser compatibility. Cut out the labels; the PDFs do not fit precut sticker sheets.
