In every school, moments of achievement deserve more than a nod — they deserve recognition that lasts. Whether it’s honouring academic success, sporting triumphs, or outstanding personal growth, how a certificate is presented speaks volumes about the value placed on the award itself.
That’s why so many schools choose Metallico, a premium certificate paper for schools with impressive visual impact. For heads of year and head teachers, Metallico provides a smart and dependable solution for celebrating excellence with the dignity it deserves.
Setting the Standard for Student Recognition
Certificates play a subtle but powerful role in school culture. A well-designed award doesn’t just acknowledge performance — it reinforces values like effort, achievement, and resilience. The choice of certificate paper is part of that message.
Metallico isn’t just another paper stock. Its subtly reflective surface and smooth finish give it a distinctive presence — one that elevates even the simplest printed design. Whether you’re recognising termly achievement or presenting end-of-year awards, Metallico delivers a professional and prestigious look without the need for complex formatting or expensive printing techniques.
Print In-House on Premium Paper and Card
Metallico stands out because it’s designed for easy printing in-house. Available in both premium paper and heavier card weight, it gives you flexibility depending on how durable and substantial you want your certificates to be.
Whether you choose the lighter paper or the sturdier card, Metallico works smoothly with most laser printers and photocopiers — meaning you don’t have to rely on external providers. This saves time and money, while giving year heads, head teachers, and school leaders full control over producing professional-quality certificates right on site.
Supporting a Culture of Achievement
Recognition isn’t just about one moment. It’s about reinforcing long-term motivation. Students who receive thoughtfully presented awards often hold onto them for years, and for some, it’s the only formal recognition they’ll take into adulthood.
For schools, that makes certificate presentation more than a formality — it becomes part of your learning culture. With Metallico, your awards are always consistent, smart, and suited to the significance of the occasion.
Practical for Schools, Impressive for Students
Metallico is supplied in packs ideal for termly or annual use, and is available in a choice of classic tones that complement both colour and monochrome printing. Whether you’re designing in-house or using a standard certificate template, the paper adds sophistication without overcomplicating the process.
School leaders appreciate how easily Metallico fits into existing systems — no special ink, no tricky setup, just high-quality results from the printer you already use. And for the students receiving them, these certificates feel more meaningful — a real marker of effort and success. Please note Metallico is not suitable for inkjet printers.
