Art and layout.
Certificate artwork often centers on a single prestige element - a seal, a gold-foil border, or a school crest - so send those assets as high-resolution vector or 600 dpi raster, and include the editable recipient name field as a separate text layer or note the font so we can template the variable data line.
Live dropdowns.
Certificate dimensions default to 8.5x11 landscape in the calculator, with 11x17 available for oversized recognition formats. Stock options include glossy coated and uncoated matte. Coated surfaces suit full-color artwork while uncoated accepts pen or stamp signatures without bleeding into the paper.

Approve before print.
We align signature lines, border bleed, and seal placement on the certificate proof.
