Options
- A4 and A5 certificates on heavy board.
- Matt, silk or textured finishes that take a signature.
- Personalised names and details from a spreadsheet.
- Matching C4 envelopes to keep certificates flat.
Personalisation
Supply one design with the name area left blank, plus a spreadsheet with a row per recipient. We print each certificate with its own details via variable data printing. Sort the spreadsheet in the order the certificates will be handed out to save time on the day.
Design tips
Leave space for signatures and a stamp. Use a clear, formal font for names. Avoid gloss lamination if certificates will be signed after printing. Keep logos and borders inside the safe zone so nothing is trimmed.
Timing
Prize-givings and graduations have fixed dates. Send the final list a week or more in advance and choose Standard so there is time to check. More on certificate printing.
Every product page lets you pick a lead time. Economy takes about five working days and costs 10% less. Standard takes about three working days and is the price you see listed. Express is ready the next working day for 20% more, and Same-day costs 30% more for eligible items that are ordered, paid and print-ready by 09:00 on a weekday.
Same-day is priced high on purpose. If you can give us a few days, Economy or Standard saves you money.
Presenting certificates
Hand certificates over in a C4 envelope or a simple folder so they reach home flat and clean. For school events, sort them by grade and class beforehand.
How to order certificates and awards: set up the item in the shop and the price updates as you change the options. Attach your artwork at checkout – or ask for design help, which is charged separately. Payment is by Yoco card payment or EFT, in full for orders under R5,000 and with a 65% deposit from R5,000 up. When it is ready, pick it up at our Rivonia shop on a weekday between 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM, or have it couriered to you at a quoted cost.
