What Are White-Label Certificates?
White-label certificates are fully customizable Certificates of Authenticity that carry your gallery's branding instead of generic, one-size-fits-all templates. Every visual element - from your logo to your color scheme to your typography - reflects your gallery's unique identity.
When a collector receives a certificate from your gallery, it should feel like an extension of your brand. The same care you put into curating exhibitions and presenting artworks should extend to your documentation. White-label certificates make that possible.
Think of it this way: would a luxury brand send products in generic packaging? Of course not. Your certificates deserve the same attention to brand consistency that defines every other aspect of your gallery experience.
The Difference Branding Makes
See the contrast between a generic certificate and one that carries your gallery's identity. The difference is immediately apparent - and so is the impression it leaves on collectors.
Generic Certificate
No brand identity. Looks like everyone else.
Your Branded Certificate
Your brand. Your identity. Your collectors remember.
First Impressions Matter
Collectors often keep certificates with the artwork for decades. Every time they see your branded certificate, they remember your gallery. That is marketing that lasts a lifetime.

Whether your gallery aesthetic is bold and contemporary or refined and traditional, you can position your logo to match. Upload high-resolution versions for print quality, and the system automatically optimizes for both digital and physical certificates.
Brand Consistency Across All Certificates
Inconsistency undermines trust. When your gallery issues certificates with varying designs, colors, or quality, it creates confusion and diminishes your professional image. White-label templates solve this by ensuring every certificate matches your brand standards perfectly.
Template Lock
Once configured, your template ensures every certificate maintains exact brand specifications. No more variations between staff members or over time.
Multi-Artist Support
Manage certificates for multiple artists while maintaining your gallery's consistent branding. The Gallery Plan supports up to 5 artist profiles under your unified brand.
Version Control
Update your template when your brand evolves. New certificates use the updated design while historical certificates remain unchanged for record integrity.
Professional Presentation to Collectors
Collectors who purchase from established galleries expect a premium experience. Your certificate is often the final touchpoint of a sale - it should reinforce the quality and professionalism that brought them to your gallery in the first place.
“When we switched to branded certificates, collectors started commenting on how professional our documentation looked. Several mentioned it when recommending us to other collectors. That little detail became a differentiator.”
A branded certificate signals that your gallery operates at an institutional level. It tells collectors they are not just buying art - they are buying from a gallery that takes documentation, provenance, and professionalism seriously.
What Collectors Notice
- Consistent gallery branding
- Professional typography
- Quality paper and printing
- Security features
- Easy verification
- Complete artwork details
How White-Label Differentiates Your Gallery
In a competitive market, differentiation matters. Many galleries still issue handwritten certificates or use basic word processor templates. When you present a professionally branded certificate with security features and digital verification, you immediately stand apart.
- -Generic templates
- -Inconsistent documentation
- -No verification system
- -Basic security (if any)
- -Forgettable presentation
- Custom branded templates
- Perfect consistency every time
- Instant QR verification
- Bank-note security patterns
- Memorable brand experience
This differentiation extends beyond the initial sale. When collectors show their purchases to friends, when they seek insurance appraisals, when they eventually resell - your branded certificate continues to work for your gallery. It is ongoing marketing embedded in every artwork you sell.
