White-Label Certificates: Building Your Gallery's Brand Identity

Your gallery is more than a space. It is a brand. Every touchpoint with collectors should reinforce your identity, including your Certificates of Authenticity. Discover how customizable templates transform standard documentation into powerful brand ambassadors.

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.

Custom Template Capabilities

Creative CoA gives you complete control over your certificate design. Every element can be customized to match your brand guidelines, ensuring perfect consistency across all your documentation.

Logo Placement

Position your gallery logo prominently on every certificate with flexible placement options.

Color Schemes

Match your brand colors exactly with custom color palettes for backgrounds, accents, and text.

Typography

Choose fonts that reflect your gallery's personality, from classic serifs to modern sans-serifs.

Layout Options

Select from professional layouts or create custom arrangements that suit your aesthetic.

Hologram Styling

Customize security pattern colors to complement your brand while maintaining authenticity.

QR Customization

Branded QR codes that maintain verification functionality with your visual identity.

Strategic Logo Placement

Your logo is the cornerstone of your brand identity. On a certificate, its placement communicates hierarchy, professionalism, and authenticity. Creative CoA offers flexible positioning options to suit different gallery aesthetics.

Header Placement

Position your logo prominently at the top of the certificate, establishing immediate brand recognition.

  • Maximum visibility
  • Traditional gallery format

Watermark Integration

Subtle logo watermark behind certificate content for an elegant, understated presence.

  • Sophisticated aesthetic
  • Additional security layer

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.”

- Director, Contemporary Art Gallery

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.

Other Galleries
  • -Generic templates
  • -Inconsistent documentation
  • -No verification system
  • -Basic security (if any)
  • -Forgettable presentation
Your Gallery
  • 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.

Creating Your White-Label Template

Setting up your branded certificate template takes just minutes. Here is how it works:

  1. 1

    Upload Your Brand Assets

    Add your gallery logo in high resolution. The system optimizes for both digital display and print quality.

  2. 2

    Configure Your Colors

    Input your brand color codes (hex or RGB). Apply to backgrounds, accents, text, and security patterns.

  3. 3

    Select Typography

    Choose fonts that match your brand identity. Preview how they look on actual certificate layouts.

  4. 4

    Arrange Your Layout

    Position elements to create your ideal certificate design. Save as your gallery template.

  5. 5

    Every certificate you create automatically uses your template. Consistent branding, every time.
