Ready-Made Frames for Award Ceremonies New!
A great looking, quick and affordable way to frame awards with medals or other certificates, the MWR Frame Shop at the Kawamura Arts & Crafts Center now offers ready-made frames. We also offer flag boxes and shadow boxes in oak, cherry or walnut.
So, when the boss tells you on Tuesday that they need an award framed for a ceremony on Friday - there’s a way to make it happen in style.
Come to the MWR Frame Shop with your certificate and medal, and purchase a ready-made frame. Insert the certificate and medal, close up the frame and you’re done.
They’re sized to fit the most commonly used certificates, flags and medals.
There are two frame sizes available. One is 16” x 20” and holds an 8 ½” X 11” certificate and medal. The other is 13 ½” X 16”, with gold trim around the mat and holds an 8 ½” X 11” certificate. The flag boxes are made to hold 3’ X 5’ folded flags. Larger shadow box display cases for medals, insignia and flags are also available.
So don’t wait until you have to make it happen. Stop by now and see our selection.
