Set Out Diploma For Free

All framing materials should be archival. Like you, diplomas are one-of-a-kind. You want to create an environment for your document that will preserve it so only museum-grade, acid-free materials should be used.

With the plaque, the diploma is showcased on a wooden board with an acrylic sheet over the document for protection. Some styles do allow you to easily slip in the document behind the acrylic.
