Seals and Emblems for Novelty Diplomas

The seal of a diploma is a unique feature that distinguishes it. The types of seals we offer with custom novelty certificates and realistic diplomas showcase DiplomaCompany.com's commitment to premium craftsmanship. With over a decade of experience, our print shop and design team utilize state-of-the-art tools to craft high-quality seals featuring shiny gold, raised, and embossed elements.

Diplomas with Raised & Embossed Seals!


Our raised and embossed seal techniques go beyond visuals — they add dimension you can actually feel. Whether it’s a university crest or an institutional emblem, these elements are pressed into the paper or printed with layered inks to create real texture and depth.

Run your fingers across the seal and you’ll notice the difference immediately. This isn’t just for show — the process also improves durability. Raised seals are less prone to fading, flaking, or damage from regular handling, making them a long-lasting feature on any document.

This level of quality is possible thanks to our professional equipment and years of experience — it’s the kind of detail that sets a premium novelty document apart.

Don’t Other Shops Raise & Emboss Their Seals?


To cut corners, many shops use embossing powder, which can lead to uneven adhesion, flaking, and clumping. Our process uses advanced layering inks and hot stamping machines to create seals that are durable, consistent, and sharp.

Diplomas with Shiny Gold Seals


Diplomas often feature shiny metallic finishes in gold or silver. We apply metallic foil heated onto ink using hot stamping machines for a smooth, beautiful shine. Metallic powders are also an option, though we prefer layered gloss for sharper, cleaner seals.

We prefer to use layers of gloss vs powders, to keep the final seal sharp and clear of debris from the heated powder.

Diploma with Printed Seals — Deep Colors & Stunning Results


Not all seals require raised or metallic finishes. Our high-tech printers create seals with rich, vibrant colors using oil-free polymerization toner for sharp, precise crests and emblems — common in high school or testing center diplomas.

Can You Mix Techniques?


Many seals are blends of printing methods — combining metallic foil, raised ink, and flat color for striking, realistic results.

Frequently Asked Questions About Diploma Seals


  • What types of seals do you offer for diplomas and certificates?

    We offer raised, embossed, shiny metallic foil seals, flat printed seals, and custom blends matching your original.

  • Are the seals really raised and embossed, or just printed to look that way?

    Our seals are genuinely raised and embossed using advanced layering inks and hot stamping, ensuring durability and texture.

  • Can I request a specific type of seal or finish?

    When you select a school or institution from our options—whether it’s a well-known university in the U.S., a historic college in Canada or Australia, or a prominent international institution—our expert team references our detailed records to match the authentic seal style used by that school. This means we remove the guesswork and deliver a replica seal that closely mirrors the original’s look and feel. If you have a specific preference, like a shiny gold metallic seal or a raised embossed style, just let us know—we’re happy to customize to your vision while maintaining the highest quality standards. Please note: all our documents are custom replicas crafted for personal use and novelty purposes. We do not claim any official affiliation with the institutions referenced.

  • How durable are your seals?

    Our seals are made using premium inks and foils designed to resist wear, fading, and flaking, but durability varies by technique. Raised ink seals are extremely durable and hold up well over time, perfect for documents meant to last. Metallic foil seals deliver a stunning shiny finish but are more delicate and may show wear faster with frequent handling. Many customers protect their documents by including a diploma folder with their order or framing the final document to keep the seals looking sharp for years.

  • Will I get to review the seal before printing?

    Yes, you’ll receive a detailed proof showing the seal design and placement for your review. Our designer will explain the type of seal—whether raised, embossed, metallic foil, or printed—that will be applied based on your order and our documented research. While we can provide a scan of the proof, please note that the true quality of the seal—its texture, raised details, and metallic shine—can only be fully appreciated in the final physical print you’ll hold in your hands. This is why we encourage you to carefully review the design and ask any questions before we proceed to print.

  • What if I’m not satisfied with the seal after receiving my diploma?

    We offer a 90-day risk-free guarantee. Contact us to resolve any issues.
