Custom Martial Arts Certificates

| Frequently Asked Questions |
| Do you do 11" x 17" certificates? |
In most cases there is no extra charge for us to design a larger certificate. The printing cost, however, is at least 30% more. We recommend martial arts schools stick with the standard letter size (8.5" x 11") for these reasons:
• It is more economical
• It works with most desktop printers
• It is easy to carry and store
• It allows more frame selections
A large certificate does not necessarily communicate more prestige than a small one.
We suggest school owners invest in nice, quality frames so their students will hang
their certificates in a highly visible place instead of storing them in a drawer.

| I would like to have a regular letter-size certificate and a special larger black belt certificate. Do I have to pay for design twice? |
Most of the time we can accommodate your request in just one design package. Unless the design and layout of the two certificates are very different, which we don't recommend, it's better to have a consistent look.
A good way to have multiple levels of certificates is to use different colors. For example, print 1000 with silver foil decorated logo and 250 with gold foil.
Put your perfect attendance or student-of-the-month awards on the silver certificates, your black belt club ranking certificates on the gold. |

Professional certificate design from people who know brand-building and understand martial arts schools
Good Characters specializes in brand-naming and branding. We have worked with a thousand martial arts schools throughout the United States, Canada, England, Ireland, Germany, Israel, and many other countries. We develop a system and process to deliver consistent and reliable results. Your project is not at the mercy of the mood of any single individual. <<
Separate your school from the clutter
Blank dragon and phoenix-border certificates are readily available at many online stores for $1 to $2.
They are not very special. To be successful, you need to differentiate your school from others.
You need to give a tangible sign that you are providing a valuable education. Thus you need to invest
more thought and effort into this important piece of paper that your students are likely to keep for
their entire lives. Setting yourself apart is what this design package is about.
Never cut corners when producing your school certificates. We do more than add characters to make them
look Asian. We first consider your school's image, then we integrate your logo into the certificate
design. We take the time and thought to make sure your certificate communicates your uniqueness,
commands authority, and says "value."
<<
Security assured
We can print your custom border in three-color raised ink to
add texture and perceived value to the certificate. We can use shiny gold or silver foil
to enhance your logo and make it extra difficult to be forged.
<<
Designed for busy professionals
We know you are busy and demand efficiency. So we also include up to 20 award and ranking certificate
templates in Microsoft Word format that are ready to be filled-in. The templates are designed for
different certificate issuing opportunities and each contains English text and high quality, large
Chinese characters (Japanese kanji). They are customized specifically for your school. You can
consistently produce professional quality certificates. You can also save each certificate design
as a file on your computer for record keeping ease.
<<
Designed for modern equipment
With optional printing, your custom blank certificates will be printed on 11" x 8.5"
standard-size deluxe white 80# medium-weight cardstock that is 3 times thicker than the
regular certificates and yet works flawlessly with popular desktop printers.
<<
Designed to work with martial arts stamps
We will show you where to place your Certificate Stamp, Martial Arts Master Stamp, and Security Stamp on your certificate if you have them.
These traditional style red square or circle stamps add authority and authenticity to certificates. <<
No extra fee for alterations
There is no extra fee for revisions of certificate design. See Process for details.

or give the job to your local printer.
