Top Tips to Frame Documents

Check out these simple top  tips to frame  documents.

Framing documents can be a challenge. You want to preserve the document without really changing the perception of it. There are a lot of things to consider, starting with how you frame old documents and what will look nice when you set them up.

Use a Quality Mat

If you’re going to use a mat to have a background for your document, you want to be sure you use something high-quality and free of any acids that might have an impact on your document.

Whether you’re hanging a diploma or a historical document of some sort, that mat could cause it to discolor or even wear away if the mat has certain acids in it. Don’t just place a random mat—be sure to use one that is 100% acid-free behind your document.

Location Details

Location is everything when it comes to placing and choosing your framing solutions. Not only does preservation matter, but you also need to carefully select where and how you plan to display those.

The wall or spot you choose matters. First of all, you want to ensure your placement won’t be risky or harmful to your document. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or in a room that may have a lot of humidity.

And place it in a location you can see and appreciate it often!

Set the Frame

The final step to making sure your piece is going to look amazing is to get the perfect frame. Make the frame the last step. Then, use details such as the document, the mat, and the location to choose the frame that works best.

A custom frame is the best way to get exactly what you want or need. What look are you going for? You can choose a frame that fits well into your space and brings you the effects you want with your document. Keep it classy, make it antique-ish, or go all out with something bold. It’s entirely up to you!
