  <h1>University graduation merch: the gown, the mortarboard, the embroidered stole and the medal that sustain the bachelor, master and doctorate ceremonies in Mexico</h1>
  <p class="hero-subtitle">The Mexican university graduation runs on an operational code the Registrar's Office, the Board of Trustees and the Rector have sharpened through repeated ceremonies: the rented gown that does not arrive on time, the generic mortarboard that looks like a costume, the plain stole without the faculty shield, the medal that breaks at first use and the class ring with the wrong inscription. The professional alternative that the Registrar, the Institutional Communications area and the Board of Trustees have validated at ceremonies of UNAM, IPN, UAM, ITAM, IBERO, TEC de Monterrey, Anáhuac, La Salle and state universities is the curated graduation kit: the gown in velvet or gabardine with the institutional colour, the mortarboard with academic-degree tassel, the stole embroidered with the faculty shield, the medal engraved with the year and the name, the class ring with the official inscription and the year-teacher recognition. We handle bachelor ceremonies (four hundred to two thousand graduates), master (eighty to three hundred) and doctorate (twenty to one hundred). Invoicing through CFDI 4.0, 16% VAT, Carta Porte 3.0, deductible as Continuing Education or Institutional Relations expense depending on scope.</p>

  <h2>Five layers of the graduation kit</h2>
  <div class="services-grid">
    <article class="service-card"><h3>Institutional gown</h3><p>Gown in velvet or heavy gabardine with the institutional colour of the university (black, navy, maroon, green, gold depending on the brand manual). Wide sleeves with satin lining, knee-length for bachelor, ankle-length for master and doctorate. Collar with gold-thread embroidered strip bearing the university shield. For ceremonies with multiple faculties each faculty carries its stole colour to distinguish the discipline.</p></article>
    <article class="service-card"><h3>Mortarboard and tassel</h3><p>Six- or eight-corner mortarboard in felt with gold-thread pendant and tassel in the academic-degree colour (black for bachelor, gold for master, red or purple for doctorate). Central button with embroidered university shield. Economic version in cardboard covered with fabric for large-format ceremonies with over one thousand graduates.</p></article>
    <article class="service-card"><h3>Embroidered stole</h3><p>Stole in satin fabric with the faculty shield embroidered at centre, side ribbons in the colours that distinguish the major (engineering, medicine, law, business administration, architecture, pedagogy, psychology, communications, accounting). For doctorate a stole with gold-trimmed sleeve is delivered and the graduate's name embroidered on the reverse.</p></article>
    <article class="service-card"><h3>Medal, class ring and recognition</h3><p>Medal engraved with the institutional shield, the graduation class year, the graduate's name and the official inscription. Finish in bronze, silver, gold or pewter depending on level. Class ring with the official inscription and the year. Recognition for the year teacher (optical crystal plate with personalised engraving). Handcrafted box in oak or pine wood with laser engraving of the shield.</p></article>
  </div>

<section class="section section-alt"><div class="container">
  <h2>Institutional curation and brand manual</h2>
  <p>The kit curation starts from the institutional brand manual. We ask the university for the updated graphic manual, the official shield in vector file (AI, EPS or SVG), the institutional colours in Pantone codes and the official typography. For universities with complex identity (UNAM, IPN, TEC) we work with the Institutional Identity area to validate the use of the shield and the colours.</p>
  <p>The graduate list is delivered in XLSX or CSV format with full name, faculty, major, student ID and ceremony date. The personalised engraving is done with fibre laser on metal or with computerised embroidery in gold thread. For ceremonies with more than one thousand graduates the delivery is scheduled by faculty and by schedule to avoid crowding at the institutional dressing area.</p>
  <p>The kit production runs between 60 and 90 days before the ceremony. The gown and mortarboard reservation is done with the Registrar's Office and documented with the loan or sale agreement. For universities with operations across multiple campuses (TEC, Anáhuac, La Salle, UV, UANL) the delivery is coordinated with the responsible parties of each campus and documented with Carta Porte 3.0.</p>

For universities with international sponsorships we invoice in USD under the USMCA framework or in EUR when the sponsor is European.
