Our frames feature an easy-open back that allows you to readily insert your document. This makes it easy for you to place your own diploma in the frame, and it provides the benefit of easy removal should the need arise at some point in the future.
To frame your diploma in one of our custom frames, simply lay the frame face down on a soft surface, such as a towel. On the back of the frame, you will see several small black flexible tabs that lift upward and allow you to remove the frame backing board and mat. Once removed, center your document within the window opening of the mat and secure it using the supplied mounting materials. Next, replace the mat and backing board within the frame and secure by pressing the black tabs down against the backboard. You will receive complete instructions along with your frame. Should you have any questions concerning this process, please feel free to call customer service at 800-477-9005 (M-F, 8:30-5:00).
