FAQS
Are you a fast certificate printing company?
Our certificate printing service allows us to print certificates in as little as 2 working days from proof approval, which we think is pretty speedy! Of course, the turnaround time of your certificate printing will depend on the specifics of your order, for example if you choose to add metallic foil to your printed certificates, this will increase the turnaround time. For an estimated turnaround time, we recommend configuring your order or contacting our customer service team.
What paper type should I choose for high quality certificate printing?
Now that’s a question! At Aura Print, we pride ourselves on our industry-leading choice of both standard and luxury paper stocks, each tried and tested with various methods of certificate printing and finishing. This means that all the paper types available to select are recommended choices, with the decision firmly in your hands. If you want to see and feel our paper stocks for yourself before placing your order, we recommend ordering a sample pack.
Can I print a custom shape and size at your certificate printing company?
Yes, you can! With in-house precision die-cutting, we recommend getting in touch with our team to discuss your die-cut certificate dreams.
How do I supply my design brief for professional certificate printing?
As above, please select the “email finished artwork” option before checking out, await your email confirmation, and respond with your print-ready artwork. Please see the “artwork requirements” section of this page, which will provide a detailed explanation on how to supply your artwork for print.
What does ‘Split Across Multiple # of Designs’ mean?
Here’s where our certificate printing service sets itself apart from the rest. We don’t make ordering difficult by forcing you to order different deigns separately, artificially bumping up the price, but quite the contrary. With our option to split your order across multiple designs, you’re able to choose the total amount of certificates you need, and then divide that number by the amount of different designs you have. For example, if you order 100 printed certificates and have 5 different award categories, we’ll print 20 of each certificate for you. What’s more, we can even perform a data merge on your order, allowing you to personalise every certificate. So, say you need 500 individually named certificates for a national award ceremony, all we’ll need from you is a single design and a spreadsheet outlining every name we need to print – easy as that!
Do my certificates need to be laminated?
This is completely up to you, however if you want to present a certificate that will last as long as your recipients would like them to, we recommend adding lamination. Ultimately, lamination protects the face of your certificates, so if your students or employees want to display them without a frame, this is perfectly possible and can help preserve the quality, resulting in a certificate that will last a lifetime. What’s more, with the option to add soft-touch, matte, or glossy lamination to your certificate printing, your certificates will feel beyond luxurious.
