The right mat can make your diploma stand out. You should select a mat that is both aesthetically pleasing and highly durable. The pH of your mat board and materials will affect how well your document will be preserved in the long run.
We all want our diploma certificates to be framed in the finest ways possible. While selecting a matboard, check the pH value of your mat board as it impacts how long the item being framed will last. The pH range goes from 0 to 14, with 7.0 being neutral. pH levels of less than 7 indicate acidity, whereas a pH of greater than 7 indicates a base.
Many mat boards consist of buffers that make them acid-free or neutral for some time. However, some materials within a standard acid-free board, such as lignin, become more acidic over time which will cause discoloration and brittleness in your framed document.
You want to choose a mat board that is acid and lignin-free for your diploma certificate to create a neutral zone between a certificate and a frame. When selecting a matboard, one should ensure that the matboard should be at least one inch wider than the molding.
Our mat board and mountboard are acid and lignin-free, as well as pH neutral, to help protect and preserve your document. Specifically manufactured by industry-leading professionals, the bottom border of the mat board is embossed in gold or silver foil with your school's name, and the top border displays the school's official seal. This seal may be embossed, or an optional medallion may be picked as an extra feature for many schools. We also offer the option of a double mat on all our frames.
The quality of the overall frame also plays a significant role in increasing the life span of the frame. We offer our customers multiple customization options for their frames for their exclusive diploma/graduation certificate. We use high-quality solid hardwood in all our custom diploma frames while ensuring the greatest precision in measurements and other specifications while preserving your frame for the long run.
Whether you have recently graduated, graduated a few years ago, or are an upcoming college graduate, think about preserving your special certificate in a quality frame to display it with pride. Choose diploma frames to preserve your achievement. Shop our wide range of frame designs that are customizable to match your preference and unique style.
