For Every Graduate
Custom Diploma Framing
Official mat colors, seal embossing, and conservation glass — for graduates of any school, anywhere. From the Boston-area institutions we know by heart to schools across the country, we match the colors and details that make a diploma frame feel official.
Walk-ins always welcome. Bring the piece in and we'll design and price it together.
A diploma is a once-in-a-lifetime document. It belongs in a frame that matches the institution and protects the paper for the next 40 years — not a generic frame off the shelf at a big-box store.
We frame diplomas from any school. We stock the official mat colors for every Boston-area institution and can match the colors and seals of schools across the country. Acid-free, conservation-grade materials throughout — your diploma stays bright for decades.
What We Frame
How It Works
From walk-in to finished piece — a careful, hands-on process built over four decades.
Bring in the diploma
Bring the original or a printed copy. We never trim or alter the document — everything is reversible. We can also work from a high-resolution scan if you'd rather keep the original at home.
Match the school
Tell us which school. We match the official mat colors and seal embossing of any institution. If we don't already stock the colors for your school, we'll match them from samples.
Choose moulding and glass
Most graduates pick a traditional dark wood or burnished gold moulding. We'll recommend conservation glass with UV protection so the parchment stays bright.
Build and seal
Acid-free mounting, sealed dust covers, and museum-quality construction. Every diploma frame is built to last decades.
Why It Matters

Why Boston Trusts Us
Boston has 50+ colleges and universities, and we've been framing diplomas for graduates from every one of them — Harvard crimson, BC maroon-and-gold, BU scarlet-and-white, MIT cardinal-and-gray. We also frame diplomas for graduates of schools across the country. If your school's mat colors aren't in our stock, we'll match them from the official samples. We also work with corporate offices, law firms, and medical practices that need partner credentials framed consistently across the wall.
Common Questions
How much does diploma framing cost?+
Every diploma frame is custom — pricing depends on size, the moulding you choose, mat options, glass type, and whether you want embossing or a nameplate. Bring the diploma in and we'll design and price the frame together. Quotes are always free.
Do you have official mat colors for my school?+
We stock official mat colors for every major Boston-area institution — Harvard, MIT, BU, BC, Northeastern, Tufts, Wellesley, Babson, Brandeis, Suffolk, Emerson, Bentley, and more — and we can match official colors for schools anywhere in the country. Just let us know the school and we'll match it.
Will framing damage the diploma?+
No. We use acid-free, reversible mounting with no tape touching the document. Conservation glass protects the paper from UV fading. The diploma can be removed at any time with no alteration.
Can you emboss the school seal on the mat?+
Yes — we offer raised gold or blind embossing of school seals for most major institutions. It's a small detail that makes the frame feel official.
Do you offer bulk pricing for law firms or medical practices?+
Yes. We work with Boston-area firms that frame every partner's diploma collection consistently. Email us with the count and schools and we'll quote the project. Volume discount available.
How long does it take?+
Standard turnaround is 5–7 business days. Rush available for graduation deadlines — let us know your event date when you order.
