Further tips: Print out the certificates yourself

No matter whether with Word or other programs - if you really want to make documents look real, you have to use the right paper and pay attention to further details.

• Paper thickness: We recommend that you use cardboard with a thickness of at least 160g / m². You can also use colored paper for special highlights.
• Special features: Use embossed or marbled paper or cardboard so that the certificate looks more official.
• Quality: In order for the certificate to be of high quality, you should avoid large pictures.
• Printing: Use the "Best quality" setting when printing. We recommend an inkjet printer for the best results. You can also use laser beam printers for papers up to a maximum of 200g / m².
• Scripture: Use a centered script on the certificate and do not write more than 8 to 10 lines. It is best to use font size 16.
