A Certificate of Authenticity (COA) is more than just a slip of paper, it’s a formal statement verifying that a product is genuine, original, and of true value. From luxury goods manufacturers and custom product creators to fine artists and skilled craftsmen, authenticity cards are essential tools that communicate integrity, protect originality, and instill lasting confidence in clients.
Traditionally, authenticity certificates are printed on paper. While functional, paper documents are easily lost, damaged, or disregarded, which undermines the very message they are meant to deliver.
So why settle for paper when your brand deserves more?
A metal authenticity card transforms a standard certificate into a premium, lasting token of trust. Crafted from high-quality stainless steel, these cards reflect the same values of craftsmanship, durability, and attention to detail that your products embody.
Anyone can print a paper authenticity certificate. But handing over a bespoke metal card demonstrates a true dedication to excellence, luxury, and professionalism.
To help spark ideas, we’ve compiled some of our most impressive custom authenticity card designs. Perfect for brands and creators looking to make their mark and deliver authenticity in style.
