\u201c<\/span>Why are custom frames so expensive?<\/span>\u201d It\u2019s a question we at Church Hill Classics hear quite often. You could purchase a flimsy $10 frame at your local art supply store. You could even try your hand at constructing a DIY diploma frame. But why would you put a priceless document at risk?<\/span><\/p>

Take a moment to consider how much your diploma is worth. A four-year degree = hundreds of thousands of dollars + years of family sacrifices + countless hours studying + timeless memories. Think about all of the time, money, and energy that went into earning that piece of paper. Why would you let it fade, crack, and disintegrate in an inexpensive diploma frame from the dollar store? Your credentials deserve the very <\/span>best diploma frame<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

How much does it actually cost to frame a diploma? We uncover <\/span>why diploma frames are so expensive<\/span>. We delve into the general <\/span>cost to frame a diploma<\/span> and answer it all.<\/span><\/p>

That Paper Is Worth $150,000 or More!<\/b><\/h2>

A college diploma is one of the most expensive and valuable credentials you\u2019ll ever earn. In fact, it\u2019s printed on one of the most fragile materials. Paper can easily tear, crease, stain, and decompose due to improper handling or storage. Remember, water and oils are paper\u2019s worst enemy.<\/span><\/p>

Keeping your degree in its original diploma holder or rolled up in its cardboard mailing tube won\u2019t keep it safe. Acids from these storage materials can eat away at the cellulose in your document. The paper will turn yellow, become brittle, and eventually crack.<\/span><\/p>

So, <\/span>why are diploma frames so expensive<\/span>? Because they\u2019re crafted to protect one of the most important and fragile documents you\u2019ll receive in your lifetime!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

How Much Does It Cost to Frame a Diploma?<\/strong><\/h2>

How much to frame a diploma<\/span> depends on the frame type, the materials used in crafting the frame, and the customizations you may want.

The fine craftsmanship put into each and every frame is also part of the <\/span>diploma framing cost<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>

1.) Frames Crafted in the USA by Hand<\/span><\/h2>

Custom framing is a rich, historic American tradition that we take very seriously. At Church Hill Classics, nothing is mass-produced in our Connecticut facility. Every frame is made according to your specifications.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Our in-house team of master framers and skilled artisans cut, measure, and join every moulding. They measure and hand-cut each piece of glass. They emboss official logos and school names in gold or silver foil with expert precision. Next, technicians with decades of experience carefully assemble each frame by hand. Then our team cleans and thoroughly inspects every framing component, never sacrificing quality for speed.<\/span><\/p>

We start building your frame as soon as your order comes in, carefully crafting it from start to finish, just the way you ordered it. It\u2019s how we deliver the very best diploma frames to our customers and why we can <\/span>guarantee<\/span><\/a> 100% happiness with their purchase.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

2.) Offers Superior Document Protection<\/span><\/h2>

The only way to protect a priceless document from acid, mold, and insect damage? Safeguard it in a protective frame offering museum-worthy matting, backing, and mounting materials. One that meets the stringent Library of Congress standards for document preservation.<\/span><\/p>

You won\u2019t find that level of diploma protection at your local craft store. Trendy, online companies claiming to be framing experts don\u2019t offer that protection either. The cardboard backings found on standard frames are notorious for yellowing, fading, and promoting mildew on documents. Our precision-cut mats are acid-free, lignin-free, and have a pure white bevel that won\u2019t discolor over time.<\/span><\/p>

The long-term preservation and protection of your college degree is always top of mind for us at Church Hill Classics. It\u2019s the reason we would never ask customers to send valuable diplomas in the mail! Why would you risk damaging or losing a piece of paper that\u2019s worth thousands of dollars?<\/span><\/p>

All frames feature easy-open backs that make <\/span>inserting your diploma<\/span><\/a> easy and foolproof! We even provide archival tape along with simple step-by-step instructions for assembling and hanging your custom diploma frame. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

3.) Prevents Fading & Discoloration<\/span><\/h2>

What else won\u2019t you find at your local hobby shop? Frame glass with proper glazing designed to protect your diploma from harmful ultraviolet light. \u201cGlazing\u201d refers to the coating on your frame glass and the level of sun protection it offers to your document.<\/span><\/p>

The most popular type of glazing is clear standard glass. Glass offers 45% UV blocking, is relatively inexpensive, and will not scratch easily. Clear standard glass is ideal for frames that are displayed out of direct sunlight. In addition to standard glass, Church Hill Classics offers <\/span>glass option upgrades<\/span><\/a> for the ultimate protection of your document or diploma:<\/span><\/p>
