We have had numerous requests here at Teachnet.Com for a library of downloadable, printable certificates and awards. As we work towards creating such a library of PDF files and blacklines for you to use, we now make our first contribution to the library online. Read on for information on how to request your own certificate.
Printing
The files below are all PDFs (portable document formats) and can be viewed and printed at high-resolution using Adobe Acrobat. Acrobat is FREE for download (Mac & PC) at http://www.adobe.com.
Gold Foil
For the illusion of a professional foil stamped border or name, you might think you have to send the job to a printer. Not so fast! Gold foil and seals can turn an ordinary certificate into something truly extraordinary.
You can order laser foil from Paper Access or visit your local Staples, Office Max, or other business and paper supply store. The foil uses the heat of the fuser in your laser printer or copier to adhere to the black toner on the certificate. For instructions (with pictures), visit paperaccess.com.
PaperDirect also offers a complete line of paper, certificates, seals and more. Check out their product selection or request a catalog.
