There are many online frame companies offering you 'college diploma frames', but are they really offering you the same diploma frames that are offered on the campuses of the graduates for whom you are buying a gift? College bookstores, alumni organizations and other official campus resources offer frames that have the school name imprinted on the mat board. In most cases a college logo or official school seal is also imprinted on the mat board. This is an Official Diploma Frame. Many framers online suggest they are offering you a custom imprinted frame by having a list of all of the colleges and universities in North America on their site, and yet they do not print these names on the mat board, like an Official Diploma Frame would do for you.
University Frames offers hundreds of colleges and universities with officially licensed diploma framing products. There are rigorous qualification standards covering both the quality of the product and the financial soundness of the manufacturer necessary to secure these licenses. Part of the licensing protocol involves paying these royalty dollars back to the universities for the use of their name and / or trademarks. This money goes to further the mission of the university and is a welcomed source of revenue for all institutions. Buying a non-imprinted frame means no ancillary support of the colleges
University Frames are officially licensed and decorated with the Original Seal from your University.
