Graduation is one of life’s proudest milestones. Whether it’s a high school sendoff, a college achievement, or a military commissioning, those symbolic items — tassels, caps, medals, cords — deserve more than a drawer or a dusty box.
At Better Display Cases, we help families and graduates turn meaningful moments into lasting, visible memories. With our line of acrylic display cases, preserving your academic and ceremonial items is easy, elegant, and personal.
Here’s how to honor your hard-earned success for years to come.
🎓 Why Graduation Keepsakes Matter
Graduation items are small, but powerful. They represent hours of effort, years of growth, and a lifetime of support from family, friends, and mentors.
When displayed properly, they:
- Keep meaningful objects in excellent condition
- Serve as visual inspiration for younger students or siblings
- Elevate home or office décor with personal touches
- Offer a long-lasting tribute to discipline and achievement
🧊 The Case for Acrylic
We use only acrylic in our display cases — not heavier, more fragile materials. Why?
- Crystal-clear visibility: View your tassel, cap, or medal from every angle
- Lightweight but strong: Easy to mount or move without sacrificing durability
- Minimalist design: Blends easily with modern, academic, or professional spaces
Every case is crafted to keep your items secure while letting them shine.
🧰 Choosing the Right Case for Your Keepsakes
Whether you're displaying one item or a curated memory set, here are the best options from BetterDisplayCases.com:
🎓 Graduation Cap Display Case
Our standard cap display case is ideal for traditional mortarboards. It features risers to gently elevate the cap, and a base that reflects detail beautifully.
➡ Tip: Loop your tassel over one corner of the cap inside the case — or hang it from a riser post — for an added visual cue.
🧵 Medal or Cord Display Case
Academic honor cords, military service medals, or competition medallions fit perfectly in our acrylic medal display cases. The clear housing prevents dust and aging while putting metalwork on full display.
➡ Tip: Add a nameplate or institution sticker on the base for a personal touch.
📸 Photo or Plaque Display
Want to frame the moment visually? Pair one of our acrylic riser bases with a framed graduation photo and accompanying tassel. You can also lay a diploma or award in the case, protected beneath a clear acrylic lid.
🏠 Where to Display Your Graduation Memories
These keepsakes aren’t just personal — they’re décor-worthy. Here’s how customers make the most of them:
- Home Office Shelf: Subtle yet inspiring for Zoom calls and daily motivation
- Bedroom Wall or Desk: Ideal for college students or proud parents
- Entryway Console Table: Greet visitors with a story of hard work and success
- Living Room Display Nook: Pair with family photos, awards, and books
🧼 Care & Maintenance Tips
To preserve your graduation items long-term:
- Keep the display out of direct sunlight to prevent fading
- Clean acrylic surfaces with a microfiber cloth and plastic-safe cleaner like the Novus Acrylic Cleaning Kit
- Avoid using tape or pins on tassels or cords — use internal risers or soft hooks
- For medals, secure them in a neutral position using the case’s internal supports
Our cases are designed to keep out dust and reduce handling damage — making them ideal for preserving irreplaceable achievements.
