When it comes to recognizing achievement, professionalism, and dedication, nothing makes a statement quite like a beautifully crafted certificate. And when you want that statement to come with quality, care, and Canadian craftsmanship — you turn to The St. James Paper Company.
Since 1990, The St. James Paper Company, a division of First Base Inc., has proudly designed and manufactured custom certificates and custom certificate holders right here in North America. With over three decades of experience, this Canadian-made brand continues to elevate the way companies, schools, and organizations across Canada and the U.S. recognize and reward excellence.
More Than Just Paper: A Legacy of Excellence
What sets The St. James Paper Company apart isn't just its premium products — it's the passion behind them. Every custom certificate they create is a product of thoughtful design and careful production, intended to leave a lasting impression.
Whether it's a diploma, award of excellence, employee recognition, or any other form of acknowledgement, St. James understands that the presentation of the certificate matters just as much as the message itself. Their expertly crafted paper products are not only elegant and archival-quality — they help build emotional connections that foster engagement, loyalty, and pride.
Canadian-Made Quality You Can Trust
Every sheet of paper, every certificate holder, every frame — all are manufactured in their North American facility by a dedicated team of professionals. Proudly Canadian made, the company adheres to the highest environmental and quality standards, including maintaining FSC® certification through third-party audits. Their paper products are also acid- and lignin-free, ensuring that every certificate stands the test of time.
This attention to detail and commitment to sustainability is just another reason why The St. James Paper Company has earned the trust of thousands of organizations across Canada and the United States.
A Full Range of Custom Certificate Solutions
St. James isn’t just a paper company — it’s a full-service recognition partner. Their product line includes:
- Custom Certificates – Personalized with foil-stamped logos and messages or fully designed to customer specifications.
- Custom Certificate Holders – Available in single or double fold, with branding options to make your presentation even more polished.
- Frames – An ideal way to showcase achievements. Frames encourage display and help reinforce organizational values.
- Presentation Ready Service – A “no-touch” solution where certificates are printed, inserted into holders or frames, and shipped — all with minimal effort required on your end.
Their streamlined ordering process, quick turnaround (as little as 5–10 days after proof approval), and low minimum orders ($100 including delivery) make them a convenient and reliable partner for businesses, schools, and non-profits alike.
Why Presentation Matters
When you present someone with a certificate that’s framed or professionally held in a custom-printed folder, the message resonates louder. These tangible expressions of appreciation often end up on office walls, desks, or display cases — proudly shown off for years. And that visibility keeps your organization’s values and recognition culture front and center.
