What Is Shadowbox Framing?
A shadowbox is a deep-set frame designed to house items with depth — perfect for objects that won’t fit in a traditional frame. These custom enclosures allow you to display keepsakes in a protected, museum-style presentation using archival-quality materials and secure mounting.
It’s an ideal solution for heirlooms, mementos, or meaningful objects that deserve more than a drawer or a shelf.
What Can Be Framed in a Shadowbox?
We regularly frame:
- Sports Jerseys and memorabilia
- Graduation and military keepsakes
- Baby shoes, wedding items, and certificates
- Concert tees and event souvenirs
But our team is also known for framing the unexpected. Some of the most unique shadowbox projects we’ve completed include:
- A steering wheel from a Porsche
- A fully displayed wedding dress
- A preserved coral reef sample
- A ceremonial shovel from a corporate groundbreaking
No matter the shape, size, or story behind your item — we’re up to the challenge.
Crafted with Care, Built to Last
Each shadowbox is custom-built based on the dimensions, weight, and delicacy of your item. We use conservation materials and professional layout techniques to make sure your piece stays safe, secure, and beautifully presented for years to come.
