Certificate templates

This folder contains templates in Abobe Indesign format for certificates to be printed for membership and prizes. The fonts of Gillsans and Gillsand Light are required by the printer. Font substitution in windows Gillsans MT is appropriate. A copy of Gillsans MT light has been purchased and should be downloaded from this site. This will substitute for Gillsans light.

 

The file is primarily for Archiving. The best option is to send the name of the prizewinner/member and this file to a graphic designer. 

 

They will organizing printing on appropriate paper with appropriate ink.

The ink and paper need to be of archival quality so the printing won't fade 

 

The paper used for previous printing was ‘Freelife Felt’ (white) 215gsm with time.

 

This file can only be opened by the program Adobe Indesign. Examples of the output of this program with this file and names and prize details changed are shown in pdf format here
