Framing medals is a great way to cherish and preserve your accomplishments for years to come. Here are just a few reasons why medal framing is a popular choice:
Preservation: Medals are often made of materials that can corrode or tarnish over time, such as copper or bronze. Framing them can help protect them from damage caused by exposure to air, moisture, and sunlight.
Medal displays: Framing your medals can be a great way to showcase them in a visually appealing way. You can arrange them in a way that highlights their unique features or significance, such as grouping them by event or achievement.
Personalization: Framing your medals allows you to customize the display to your liking, with options for different mat colors and framing styles. This can help create a display that is unique and personal to you.
Storytelling: Framing medals can be a great way to tell a story about your achievements or experiences. You can include additional items such as photographs, certificates, or newspaper clippings to provide context and add depth to the display.
5. Gift-giving: Framing medals can make for a thoughtful and meaningful gift for someone who has achieved something significant or accomplished a major milestone. It can also be a great way to honor the memory of a loved one who has served in the military, police or other organizations.
Overall, framing medals can be a great way to celebrate and showcase both your achievements or those of someone you care about. It provides a way to preserve and display these items in a way that is both visually appealing and meaningful.
Using a computerized mount cutter to create a mount that perfectly surrounds your medal can add a level of customisation and precision to your framed piece. Mounting your medals offers a tailored, unique way of framing that can really enhance the visual impact of your medal. Having the option for single, double, and v-grooves in your mount can also add depth and texture to the design, further enhancing the overall effect.
UV rays can be harmful to artwork and can cause fading and deterioration over time, so protecting them with UV-resistant glass is vital. By using specialized glasses that provide protection from UV rays, you are helping to ensure the longevity and preservation of the artwork or race numbers being framed.
In addition to UV protection, the glasses you use also eliminate reflections, which can be distracting and detract from the beauty of the framed piece. This helps to create a clear and unobstructed view of the artwork or race number, allowing it to be appreciated in its full glory.
The appearance of no glass is also a great feature, as it can make the framed piece appear more open and unobstructed. This can be especially beneficial for artwork with intricate details or for race numbers that you want to showcase without any interference.
Overall, using specialized glasses in your framing services can provide added protection and enhance the visual appeal of the framed piece. It is a great value-add for your customers who want to preserve their artwork or race numbers for years to come.
Here is an example of a mount we cut for a customer, they decided to include medal, race number, photo and course map.
