Parchment |
Cream
colored stock |
Standard, Personalized,
or Exclusive Diplomas can be produced on either
ivory parchment or cream colored stock. The
ivory parchment is an 80 pound text weight paper.
It is not just a "picture" of parchment,
but "feels" just like it looks, with a
slightly textured surface and a nice "antique" color
-- not too white, and not too yellow. We have
chosen this paper because it has a parchment feel
and yet is not so "busy" that it overwhelms
the text.
The cream colored
stock is acid free and has a high cotton content,
which gives it a distinctive texture. This paper
has a warm (but not overly yellow) color, and
is also an 80 lb text weight. The smooth finish
sets off the gilding beautifully, and is especially
nice with the gold corner ribbons of the diploma
holder. Many people call and ask which paper
they should choose. The parchment is the most
popular choice, but the cream colored stock gives
the diploma a more traditional look, and is especially
nice for diplomas with the 23kt gold option. The
gold stands out a little bit more when it is not
competing with the patterning of the parchment
paper. If you are choosing calligraphy for the
student's name, you might want to know that the
slightly uneven texture of the parchment can give
the hand lettering a bit more of a rustic look.
You might not notice the difference without a
magnifying glass, but the hand written letters
on the cream colored paper will have a smoother
edge.
It is difficult to describe papers
and colors adequately on a computer screen! If you
send us a SASE, we will be happy to send paper samples
to you.

Using Your Own Seal:
If you have an embosser or are planning to purchase
one from us, we can leave the seal off your
diploma so that you can apply your own. Only the
1 5/8" embosser will fit our diplomas. Our
order forms for the 1 5/8" embossers asks
you if you are ordering a diploma from us, and
if so, whether you want us to leave the seal off
so that you may use your own.
If you don't have an embosser and would like
one, we sell them. More
