Diploma frame alternative FAQ
These answers cover using a tent-style diploma cover as a frame alternative, including custom diploma covers. Honor U does not sell frames. Shop covers as a frame alternative, or read diploma cover vs diploma frame.
Can a diploma cover be used as a frame alternative?
Yes. A tent-style cover is a frame alternative for a diploma or certificate you already have. It opens to present the document. It is an empty cover, so the diploma or certificate is not included.
Does Honor U sell diploma frames or custom diploma frames?
No. Honor U does not sell frames. If you searched for a custom diploma frame, a custom diploma cover with your logo, seal, or text in metallic gold or silver foil is the personalized alternative.
What is the difference between a diploma cover and a diploma frame?
A diploma cover is a hardback, tent-style holder that opens to present a document you already have, often on a table or at a ceremony. A diploma frame is typically a wall display, often with glass and a mat. They are different products. The longer comparison is in diploma cover vs diploma frame.
What should I order if I searched for a custom diploma frame?
Order a custom diploma cover. You can add a logo, seal, crest, or your own wording, foil-printed in metallic gold or metallic silver. The builder shows a live preview before you add the cover to the cart. Use artwork you have the right to use. This is still an empty cover, not a custom-cut wall frame. Shop custom diploma covers.
Does the cover include the diploma or certificate?
No. Honor U sells empty covers and holders only. You supply the document. The cover does not certify, replace, or validate it.
How do I choose a size, including 11 x 14?
Measure the paper document in inches, width and height, not an old cover. Standard sizes are 8.5 x 11 (Letter), 8 x 6, 11 x 14, and A4. The cover is cut a little larger than the document, so an 11 x 14 document uses an 11.5 x 14.5 cover. For any other size, order a Made-to-Fit cover. See the cover size FAQ.
Can a diploma cover hang on the wall like a frame?
No. These covers are tent-style and open to present the document, typically on a table or at a ceremony. They are not made as wall displays. If you want a hanging wall frame, a frame may still be what you want, and Honor U does not sell that.
Can I use a certificate cover as a frame alternative?
Yes, if the certificate fits. A certificate cover, certificate holder, and certificate folder are the same empty tent-style cover. Shop certificate covers, or see the certificate holder FAQ.
When might I still want a frame?
Choose a frame if you want a wall hanging, glass over the document, a tassel display, or a double-document wall display. A cover is a different product and is often a simpler purchase, but it does not replace those uses. Honor U does not sell frames and does not match frame prices.
