A personalized diploma frame isn't just about choosing a frame; it's about creating something that reflects who they are, what they achieved, and where they're going next. University Frames makes this process simple by offering multiple customization options that help turn a diploma into a truly personal keepsake.
Here's how to build a frame that feels intentional, meaningful, and made just for them.
Start by selecting the graduate's university. This unlocks official design elements specific to that institution, including approved layouts, seals, and color options.
Because University Frames collaborates with licensed university designs, each frame reflects the school's identity while maintaining a polished and professional look.
Why this matters:
It ensures the frame looks authentic, accurate, and worthy of the achievement it represents.
Next, choose a frame style that fits their personality and space.
Classic styles offer a timeless look that works well in offices and traditional settings.
Modern styles feature cleaner lines and pair beautifully with contemporary décor.
Personalization tip:
Think about where the diploma will be displayed such as a home office, apartment, or workplace, and choose a style that complements that environment.
Correct sizing ensures the diploma fits perfectly and looks professionally presented.
If you're unsure about the exact dimensions, a University Frames E-Gift Card is a safe and thoughtful alternative. It allows the recipient to finalize the details themselves while still receiving a meaningful gift.
Matting plays a major role in personalization. University Frames allows you to select:
Many people choose official school colors to highlight school pride, while others prefer neutral tones that match their home or office décor.
Why this matters:
Mat colors can subtly reflect personality, style, or school spirit without overpowering the diploma itself.
An official university seal adds a refined, finished look to the frame and enhances its overall presentation. You can choose between a gold or silver foil or opt for a medallion option, depending on the level of formality you want.
Gold or silver foil seals are embossed directly onto the mat, creating a subtle yet elegant accent that complements the diploma without overpowering it. For a more premium and traditional look, a medallion seal is available. Medallions are 24k gold plated and applied to the mat surface, offering depth, texture, and a distinguished appearance.
Personalization note:
Foil seals provide a clean, understated finish, while medallions add visual weight and prestige, making them especially suitable for advanced degrees, executive offices, or professional environments
Some schools allow a custom imprint, such as the graduate's name or degree details.
This optional feature adds another layer of personalization and makes the frame feel even more intentional and one-of-a-kind.
To preserve the diploma for years to come, consider upgrading to UV-protective or museum-quality glass.
These options help reduce fading caused by light exposure, making them ideal for diplomas displayed in bright rooms or offices.
Why this matters:
A personalized diploma frame isn't just about how it looks today; it's about protecting the achievement long-term.
What sets University Frames apart is the ability to customize nearly every detail, from school-specific designs to frame styles, mat colors, seals, and protective glass. This level of personalization transforms a diploma frame from a simple product into a meaningful keepsake that honors both the achievement and the individual behind it.
It's not just framed, it's thoughtfully preserved.
