Key Advantages

What Makes These Diploma Frames Archival Quality?

Mobile Framers' custom diploma frames use 99% UV-protective acrylic and 100% acid-free mats in your alma mater's authentic colors, so your diploma stays as crisp as graduation day. Standard diploma frames sold on campus often use acidic cardboard and standard glass that exposes your irreplaceable diploma to sun fading and moisture warping. Mobile Framers builds true museum-grade certificate displays that avoid these risks entirely.

Authentic Collegiate Mat Colors

Match your school's exact colors with double matting featuring a bold primary field and contrasting reveal trim, ideal for college degree frames that reflect your alma mater.

100% Acid-Free Conservation Materials

Zero acid or lignin migration, protecting parchment and sheepskin documents from discoloration or embrittlement.

99% UV-Filtering Glazing

Guards gold foil university seals, official signatures, and calligraphed names against sunlight degradation.

Dual Opening Options for Tassels

Incorporate your graduation tassel, honors cord, or commencement photo alongside your diploma.

Master Craftsmanship

Reversible archival Mylar photo corners ensure the diploma is never taped or glued.
