When one receives an award or a gift, it makes them feel that their work is valued and that their employer is fully aware of their individual as well as team efforts and accomplishments

That’s what Trufoods were looking to achieve and we stepped in to make it happen through a unique way of presenting certificates of dedication for the team.

From a draft certificate design they had prepared, we analyzed it and brainstormed on how to recreate it uniquely and innovatively. A team of Innovators and staff came up with an idea of a digitally fabricated wooden certificate inspired by one of our innovators, Mohamed Arafat’s wall decorative piece.

A rapid design and prototyping was done on 3mm plywood to illustrate the idea to the customer using a Laser Engraving Machine.

The Final product was to be made using a composition of different types of wood – Mvule and Ebony (Mkulu) as well as some metallic rings.

The production process started with cutting the main body certificate from the mvule on CNC Machine, then fitting in the Mkulu & brass rings.

As is the norm at the lab, the finishing process of any product is a communal bonding moment for everyone where music, dancing, and jokes are always served in unregulated proportions. A total of 41 Certificates were produced.

The Certificated are also supplied with stands that make them easy to be strategically placed on one’s desk.
