About this template
Here is a traditional way to welcome a new member: the Lime Ticket Student Membership Certificate, a template that suits professional bodies, institutes and societies. Petrona sets the title and Plus Jakarta Sans carries the details, with a ticket-stub edge giving the page its character. You will also find it under School and Professional Certification on CerShare.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.
Welcome to [Club], [Name]! Your membership is valid from [Date] to [Date].
Presented to [Name] on election to [Grade] of [Society], [Year].
[Name] is a member in good standing of [Association]. Signed by the Secretary, [Date].
How to customise it
You can rewrite the whole certificate; the member no., valid to and institution fields are already in place, and you can delete the ones you don’t need. It works in landscape or portrait, on A4 or US Letter, without you having to move anything. The design comes with three colour schemes (Teal & Coral, Indigo & Pink and Navy & Orange), and every single colour can be changed. Text sizes adjust to fit, and you can choose another font for any line. There is an Arabic edition too, laid out right to left with Baloo Bhaijaan 2.
Printing tips
A cream, linen-textured paper of around 120 lb text (180 gsm) suits this classic layout. In the print dialog choose “Actual size” rather than “Fit”, so the border isn’t cropped. It fits a standard certificate frame or a document folder.
