Custom framing · Diplomas

The paper that took four years.

A diploma is one sheet of paper that stood in for a lot of late nights. Framed simply and correctly, it looks like it belongs on the wall of someone who finished the job.

How we frame it

Archival, because it's ink on paper

Diplomas are printed on paper that yellows if you let it. Acid-free mats and backing keep the document from touching anything that would age it, and conservation glass blocks the light that browns the edges. It's the same care fine art gets, because it's the same problem.

Room for the tassel

The best diploma frames aren't just the diploma. A shadow box holds the tassel, the medal, a photo from the day — the things that make it a wall people stop at. We lay it out so the eye lands on the degree first and the story second.

Matched, if you're building a wall

Family walls of degrees look right when the profiles and mats match. Tell us it's the third of four and we'll spec it so the next one lines up — same moulding, same reveal, years apart.

Common questions

Diplomas framing, answered.

Should a diploma be framed with UV glass?

Yes — a diploma is ink on paper, and UV (conservation) glazing keeps it from yellowing and fading, especially on a bright wall.

Can you frame the diploma with the tassel and photos?

Absolutely — a shadow box holds the diploma plus the tassel, medals, and a photo, arranged so the degree reads first.

Do you match frames for multiple diplomas?

Yes. We'll record the exact moulding and mat so a matching frame can be built later as more degrees come in.

Ready when you are

Bring it in, or mail it in.

These pieces need the object itself. Bring it to Fort Lauderdale, or pack it carefully and mail it — we unpack, photograph, and confirm the design before anything is cut.
