I've often seen prints in poly bags or framed with an attached label. This is true for photo prints or other print media types. Sometimes the label is attached to the frame, the mat board, or is a loose bit of paper. In one case, I received a print with an envelope attached to the rear of the frame, and inside the envelope was a signed "certificate of authenticity" that included the edition info that matched the front of the signed print.
Many elaborate schemes are possible, but for this query I'm curious about how members here have done it, if they did it, and what materials were used.
I need to print such certificates in the next month for an upcoming exhibit opportunity, and I'm wary of printing such certificates on "sticker paper" as sold at office supply stores, meant more to mark... well, office supplies. The papers I've found so far don't take signatures all that well (Pigma, maybe -- not fountain pen). Is this a job for the much-maligned 3M mount spray, or.....?
It might be that dropping a loose card or card+envelope will be the best route. But I do wonder. Inserts in editioned art books may have the same issue, and over the next year I'll be grappling with that problem, too. A single clean solution/method would be great, any experienced advice would be much appreciated before I lock-down a method that's meant to last for some years.
Thanks!
