You've worked hard to earn your diploma, so don't use a simple, inexpensive frame to display it. Your diploma is a sign of the time and effort you put into achieving a goal. Put it in a frame that’s worthy of your accomplishments. A simple, yet stylish diploma frame, combined with the right shade of mat will make your diploma a beautiful reminder of the work you have put into achieving your degree. Diploma framing is an art, so you need to consider a few things aside from choosing the right frame.
Here are some of the things you should keep in mind while framing your diploma:
The frame style you choose for your diploma should be just as special as the document itself. Take your time and choose the perfect one to make your diploma look its very best.
Whether you want a traditional or contemporary look, shiny or non-glossy frame, black, silver, gold, or cherry finish, we offer a wide range of frame style options. We use universally recognized solid hardwood in all our frame mouldings to help protect and preserve your document.
Do you want to show off your school pride or campus image along with your diploma? We have you covered with our wide variety of options to add to your frame like Logo Mats, Campus Lithographs & Photos, 5 x 7 Portrait, Double Degree, and more.
The moulding isn’t the only thing that makes your frame shine. Using the right mat can help your diploma stand out. A contrasting frame will highlight the rich darkness of the inks on the page. However, it’s important to choose a mat that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also preserves your valuable document for many years to come. Therefore, the mats that we use in our diploma frames are acid and lignin-free and meet the conversation standards.
We offer multiple mat varieties – Traditional, Suede, or Leather mats. Most frame styles come with the option to select an accent mat in any color, to help make your frame stand out among the rest. With the Executive frame style, the accent mat is replaced by a wood fillet around the diploma in gold, silver, or mahogany. Our mat board and mount board are pH neutral and manufactured by the industry leaders. The top border of the mat board displays the official seal of the school or university, and the bottom border displays your school’s name embossed in gold or silver foil.

Make sure to select a diploma frame that protects your document and prevents it from turning yellow, becoming brittle and cracking.
Using quality materials helps preserve your documents in the original state. Never use cheap materials to frame your diploma. Using quality materials adds a touch of elegance and distinction that allows others to see how proud you are of your achievement. Quality materials will also stand the test of time and keep your diploma looking its best for many years to come. We use quality backing and mounting materials in our frames that prevent your document from discoloration and damage.
Choose a frame with UV protection glass. UV grade glass will protect both the paper and the ink from potential damage if they are exposed to sunlight for any length of time. All our diploma frames come with standard glass, which can be upgraded to museum quality glass and UV protection glass for added document protection against damage.
We have years of experience in diploma framing and hundreds of options to choose from, so you can decide exactly how you want your frame to look! Choose the right frame for your college/university and turn your valuable document into a masterpiece to show off your pride and achievement.
