PE Certificate Frame

[bucknut]

What are some good options for getting your certificate framed? I saw some old threads on this topic, but nothing recent. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

I ordered this one from Amazon:

Pinnacle Mahogany Beaded Edge Document Frame with Usable Certificate, 11-Inch by 14-Inch Matted to 8-1/2-Inch by 11-Inch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008GRKFBS/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_Pduivb0K4XGRY

And this is what it looked like after framed:

If a topic drops off the first page it's ancient history!

Ohio uses a nice odd size for the document. 11 x 14. Makes the selection of decent frames more difficult. Does everyone have the same oversized certificate? Guess I never really thought about the size until it showed up.

Ken, there are several choices at Michael's that might work. I like the 'float frames' but, unfortunately, I think these are 11"x14" overall, meant for an 8.5"x11" certificate.

I found a 16x20 at walmart that worked, just not a whole lot of choices in that size. I saw a lot with bronze frames, but I didn't like the looks of them. Had to have something to hang in my cube.

It varies from state to state. For instance Maryland is 10x13, which means you have to buy a special frame or matting.

Kind of figured as much, glad to see Ohio isn't the worst of the lot.

rncole,

That is pretty cool that you all's certificate looks like a real and perminate certificate, unlike my state and a few others, which issue temporary paper copy certificates.

HOBBY LOBBY is super cheap for frames and they have a ton of them. Half the price of Target/WalMart even. Got a standard nice frame for mine for $9 and it looks professional but not too show-off.

Ohio just changed to 11x14 last year, before that they were the standard diploma size.

I prefer the larger 11x14! It looks much nicer when compared to others who got theirs in prior years.

I spent way too much on mine, but I never had any of my diplomas framed. I felt that the PE was the culmination of everything I've done so far. Probably it will be the last certificate.

Here is a link to mine. Missouri has a weird size as well. Doesn't matter I had mine done at a custom frame shop.
