December 2004: Custom Certificate Holders
|
 |
This double-panel piece allows you to include a picture, letter of congratulations or organization-specific document with the certificate. |
Awards, diplomas and certificates of appreciation are all meant to be lasting mementos of achievement and participation. Proper construction of your certificate holder can make it both a functional and decorative piece.
Custom-Designed Solutions
Award and certificate holders can be designed in a wide range of panel sizes and configurations. Single-panel pieces feature a certificate window on one side and a cover material on the reverse. Double- and triple-panel designs can incorporate a picture or other item along with the certificate.
Design Tip: Many certificate holders are designed for display on either a tabletop or a wall. Drilled holes with or without metal grommets allow for easy wall mounting, as does attaching a metal loop or hook. For single-panel holders, an easel can be mounted to the back to allow for secure standing on a desk or table.
Decorative Ideas Worthy of Merit
Construction and decoration possibilities for certificate holders are similar in many ways to those for binding projects: many provide the same protection and durability for certificates as they would for a book. Turned-edge materials such as cloth and laminated paper are popular materials that give certificate holders a distinctive appearance. Embossing, foil stamping and die cutting can all be performed to enhance your designs.
