This hand-made certificate frame has been purpose-built to complement and showcase your IED certificate, presenting it in a manner befitting the distinction of one of the UK’s most respected professional engineering bodies.
Crafted to a Professional Standard
Each frame is hand-made to the precise dimensions of the IED certificate, ensuring a perfect, secure fit. The frame incorporates anti-glare styrene glazing, which reduces the damaging effects of UV light to help preserve the integrity and appearance of your certificate over time. A removable backboard allows for easy insertion and, if needed, subsequent removal of your certificate without risk of damage.
Acid-Free Mount
The mount is produced using approved acid-free mount card, essential for archival preservation. Acid-free materials ensure that the certificate won’t yellow or degrade over time through contact with the backing materials. The Institution of Engineering Designers’ name is foil-printed directly onto the mount, adding a distinguished, professional finish that elevates the overall presentation. The mount colour has been specifically selected to complement the IED’s institutional colours, creating a cohesive and polished result.

About the Institution of Engineering Designers
The Institution of Engineering Designers (IED) has a proud and distinguished history stretching back to 1945, when it was founded by Wally Walters — originally under the name the Institution of Isometricians, before evolving into the body it is today. It is the UK’s only professional body representing those working in the fields of engineering and technological product design, with members active across industries including product design and manufacturing, mechanical and automotive design, architectural construction, and IT. In 2012, the IED achieved Chartered status via a Charter from the Privy Council, enabling it to award the prestigious title of Chartered Technological Product Designer to suitably qualified members. The institution is based in Wiltshire and boasts a truly international membership, with active local groups as far afield as Malta, Hong Kong, and Malaysia. Whether you hold membership as an Associate, Member, Fellow, or have achieved one of the IED’s three Charterships, your credential represents a meaningful mark of professional excellence in a field that shapes the world around us.
