Why Museum Glass for Diplomas
Diplomas use inks and signatures that fade in daylight, and many hang in offices with bright windows and overhead lights. Museum glass blocks UV light and nearly eliminates glare, so the document stays readable from across the room. Regular glass is fine for copies or rooms with little light.

Mats in School Colors
A double mat is the classic diploma look: a top mat in one color with a quarter-inch reveal of a second color underneath, often the school colors. Every mat is acid-free with a 2.5-inch border. We can cut extra openings for a graduation photo, tassel or class ring.
Frame Styles
- Classic wood: black, walnut, mahogany and cherry profiles for offices and law firms
- Gold and silver: traditional accents for formal degrees
- Slim metal: a modern look for clinics and studios
