Diploma Framing in Los Angeles You'll Be Proud to Hang
You worked hard for that diploma. We help Los Angeles grads protect it and display it right.
When to Frame Your Diploma in Los Angeles
Most people wait after graduation, then the diploma sits in a drawer for years. Paper yellows fast under LA's sun, and UV rays are strong here with over 300 sunny days a year. We've had customers from Venice and Brentwood bring in diplomas that faded before they ever got framed. Once that happens, you can't undo it. A picture frame protects and displays the artwork at once[1]. So don't wait for a special occasion. Bring it in soon after you get it, or as soon as you find it in a box. We use UV-protective glass and acid-free matting so your diploma stays sharp for decades. It's a small step now that saves you from a big regret later.

Diploma Framing Cost in Los Angeles
Price depends on the size of your diploma, the frame style, and whether you add a tassel shadow box. A simple single diploma frame costs less than a double diploma set with metallic matting. We give you a full quote after we see the piece, and we never add fees later. Los Angeles homes have many styles. You'll find Spanish Colonial bungalows and mid-century condos. We help you pick a style that fits your walls. Custom framing protects your artwork and adds to your decor[1].
Diploma Framing Questions
Here are answers to what Los Angeles customers ask us most.
-
How much does diploma framing cost?
Most diploma frames run between $85 and $350. The cost depends on size, frame style, and any extras like a tassel box. We give you a free estimate before we start any work.
-
How long does diploma framing take?
Most orders take about one to two weeks. Custom shadow boxes or double diploma sets can take a bit longer. We'll give you a clear timeline when you drop off your piece.
-
Can I frame my own diploma at home?
You can, but most kits use acidic mats that yellow over time. Our archival materials protect your diploma for decades. It's worth the extra step for something you can't replace.
-
Do you frame more than one diploma at a time?
Yes, we frame single, double, and even triple diploma sets. Many families bring in diplomas from parents and kids for a matching set. We match matting and frame style across all pieces.
-
How soon after graduation should I frame my diploma?
As soon as you can. Los Angeles gets over 300 sunny days a year, and UV rays fade paper fast. Waiting too long can mean permanent damage before it's even framed.
-
What are signs my diploma needs framing now?
Yellowing edges, curling paper, or fading print are all warning signs. If it's been sitting rolled up in a tube for months, bring it in soon. We can still save most diplomas at this stage.
-
Can you include my tassel or graduation cord in the frame?
Yes, we build custom shadow box frames that hold your tassel next to the diploma. It's a popular choice for grads who want the full memory on display. We design the layout with you before building it.
