require that important documents must be framed with an Acid-free Double Mat.

Simply remove the backboard – position mat board aperture over your certificate – apply tape (supplied and acid-free) and reassemble.

Important advice before framing

Before framing your certificate we recommend you take both colour and black and white copies and save it to your computer. A copy may be required for future job interviews etc.

Certificate Framing does not recommend any of our products for external use and should avoid direct sunlight. When cleaning your frame, dust with a soft, clean microfibre cloth. Do not use detergent or sprays.

Why our frames last a lifetime

Designed and hand made in Australia using Italian timber our certificate frames are both bold and elegant. The Italian moulding that our Certified Picture Framer has chosen features the finest materials and finishes. Characterised by a fine gesso, the moulding is easy to cut and less susceptible to chipping and cracking. The wood is universally recognised in the industry as having two highly desirable characteristics hardness and straight grain.

Acid-Free Matboard, are a must have.

WHY, because the matboards are in direct contact with your Degree, the acidity can cause discolouration and damage. For this reason, at certificate framing we use Acid-free matboards composed of high quality fibre that have been bleached to provide a bright white core, buffered to a pH of 7.5 to 9-5. The smooth white bevels will not turn brown and the extra heavy surface papers allow for a smoother, cleaner cut using our computerised mat cutter.

Foamboard, buyers beware!! Why

Acid-free foamboard is the new industry standard backing of choice for superior frames, replacing the old MDF boards used in inferior or cheaper products. All our certificate frames are backed with an acid-free foam-core which keeps your certificate rigid and safe from damage. This foamboard will increase the longevity of your graduation certificate. It is 5mm thick, lightweight, very rigid with smooth surfaces and is clean to work with ensuring a great result, every time.

Did you know you can get Acid-free Adhesive tape?

Yes we even supply Acid-free Adhesive tape that is age resistant and buffered to pH 8.7 so the tape remains acid-free after application and will not turn yellow with time and damage your graduation certificate.

How to fit your Certificate

It’s simple to achieve a professional result.

When attaching your Graduation Certificate to a mat (often called a border), it is important to only attach the Certificate from the top. This is called hinging and it ensures your certificate sits flat when fitted to your certificate frame.

The reason for this is that when your certificate framing is completed and your frame is hanging on the wall it picks up moisture and condensation from the air and by hinging your Graduation Certificate it has room to expand which will ensure the certificate always appears flat.
