Buying Guide

Match frame size to your diploma

Choose frames that correspond to your diploma dimensions (common options include 8.5x11 and 11x14) or that include mats to accommodate different layouts

Pick the right glazing material

Real glass offers scratch resistance and optical clarity while plexiglass is lighter and shatter-resistant—consider weight if mounting on drywall or using multiple frames

Consider matting for presentation

Double mats (like navy/gold or neutral combos) add visual depth and protect the document from direct contact with glazing

Balance frame material and finish

Wood frames provide a traditional look and warmth; painted or black frames offer a modern, uniform backdrop for certificates

Evaluate multi-pack value for multiple diplomas

If you have several certificates to display, multi-packs or bulk black frames can save time and ensure consistent wall presentation
