Why Acrylic Certificate Frames Are the Standard in Malaysia
If you are searching for a certificate frame acrylic solution in Malaysia, you are not alone. Schools, universities, corporate offices, and event organisers across the country are switching from traditional wood and glass frames to acrylic — and for good reason. Acrylic certificate frames are lighter, shatter-resistant, and far more versatile than glass. They look premium without the premium weight or fragility.
Whether you need 10 frames for an office wall of fame or 500 for a university graduation ceremony, acrylic frames offer the best combination of durability, aesthetics, and affordability. At UMAKE, we manufacture all our acrylic frames in-house at our factory in Balakong, Selangor.
Types of Acrylic Frames
1. Screw Mount Certificate Frames
Stainless steel standoff screws create a "floating" effect on the wall. Two clear acrylic panels sandwich your certificate, held by four corner screws with metal spacers 10-15mm off the wall. Best for permanent wall displays — office lobbies, school hallways, boardrooms. From RM13.90 per frame (A4).

2. Magnetic Freestanding Frames
Two acrylic panels with embedded neodymium magnets snap together — no screws, no tools. Place your document on the back panel, bring the front panel close, and the magnets hold it securely. Best for desks, events, exhibitions. From RM9.90 per frame.

3. Floating Display Frames
