What Retail Frames Do to Your Diploma
Standard frames from big-box stores use materials that actively destroy diplomas. Without proper archival diploma framing, irreversible damage begins within months.
UV Damage & Fading
Regular glass offers zero UV protection. Your diploma yellows, seals fade, and signatures deteriorate within 3-5 years without UV-protective glazing that blocks 99% of harmful rays.
Acid Migration
Non-archival matting contains acids that migrate into diploma fibers, causing brown staining and brittleness. Only acid-free, lignin-free materials meet Library of Congress preservation standards.
Moisture & Mold
Improper sealing allows humidity penetration, creating conditions for mold growth and warping. Professional diploma framing includes sealed backing that creates a protective microenvironment.
Physical Deterioration
Direct glass contact and cheap materials cause permanent creasing and embossing damage. Archival mounting techniques secure your diploma without causing harm.
Our Archival Diploma Framing Process
Every custom diploma frame we create uses conservation-grade materials and methods trusted by museums, universities, and professional archivists nationwide.

Acid-Free Archival Matting
