We have extensive instructions and even a template example that you can use. And if office certificate paper is not going to work for you, I have seen a number of COAs that simply use a plain paper with official letterhead of the artist or their gallery (if they have one).įor a more high end approach one option you might want to look at is FinerWorks’ COA kits that can be ordered in singles or by the box (25).
It is then just a matter of designing it in something like MS Word or other word processor and printing them out on certificate paper which you can purchase at any office supply store. If you are wanting to make your own, come up with a design that you think will work for you. We have seen all manners of COAs from simple and basic signed copy paper with some information about the print to more elaborate printed on fine art papers normally used for the prints themselves. Ways to Make Your Certificate’s of Authenticity
The first is how do I have those made and what goes on them. This is a topic that comes up quite often when we visit with artists and photographers over phone or even in person. If you are going to be selling your art as prints or already have been doing so, are you also offering a Certificates of Authenticity (COA) to your buyers?
