If you are ordering the certificates from the GRO in Southport, they ARE printed on acid free, archival quality paper. There was a discussion on the boards quite a while ago about using acid free pockets to keep certificates in. Someone suggested that it was a waste of time unless the paper was also acid free. Because of this I rang the GRO to ask about their certificates, and they told me they WERE printed on acid free, archival quality paper. As with anything you don't want to fade, you should keep them away from light sources. Kath. x

I have been ordering certificates from here in Oz via the internet. Most of them are disappointing, as they look like the ink will fade very quickly. Someone mentioned that you should ask for Archival quality. Can anyone tell me if there is a choice about what I can get, and how I go about it? regards from Fay
