What is a Certificate Folder?

Certificate Folder are physical or digital solutions that securely store and display certificate-sized documents such as diplomas, awards, certificates of completion, college degrees and gift certificates. They can be used in a variety of presentation styles and features including tuck tabs, notches, spine attachments and a fold-up easel for maximum impact when presenting the certificate at an event or ceremony. They are available in a variety of sizes, materials and finishes from standard 12×9 sizes to 9.5×4.5 small gift certificate folders.

Depending on how Explore more you want to pay you can get them with or without a tuck tab and in a range of finishes from matte to glossy. They can also be printed with your logo and design to add additional brand visibility.

A certificate is a specialized data structure that describes the public key of the certificate’s issuer and a signature that it can make on the private key of some other entity. It defines a lot of other stuff too: the types of signature algorithms that can be used, revocation and certificate path validation, and more.

Certificates are stored locally on a computer in a special storage location called a certificate store. Windows stores two certificate stores: the Local Machine Certificate Store (under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) and the Current User Certificate Store (under HKEY_CURRENT_USER). You can view the certificates in these locations with the MMC console or with system APIs. You can even import certificates from other sources into the system stores.
