Make use of readable fonts, pictures with a high-quality design, a neat border, and a formal background in your certificate. Unleash your creativity in creating your certificate's layout.
5. State the Necessary Details

It is highly suggested to use card stock or parchment paper in printing your award certificate. Put it inside a frame to ensure its quality for recipients to cherish through the years.
