A certificate of appreciation is a highly personal gift, so you should not hold back from including details or embellishments that accurately express your appreciation.

Furthermore, you can choose to be as formal or informal as you want in your award’s message and appearance so the certificate personally relates to the recipient while also maintaining the voice of your company or organization. Deciding on what type of printable certificate you want to use is a good first step to making a unique set of in appreciation certificates.
Buy Printable CertificatesStandard 8.5”x11” letter size certificate paper is the most common size used for certificates of appreciation.
