Honouring Service: How Jubilee Framers Preserves Military Memorabilia With Custom Shadow-Box Framing

by Jubilee Framers

When families, units, and organisations want to honour service, commemorate achievements, or preserve irreplaceable keepsakes, they turn to Jubilee Framers in Kelvin Grove for expert custom framing solutions.
This recent project — a professionally framed IET 1 Troop banner filled with handwritten messages — is a perfect example of how we transform meaningful items into protected, display-ready pieces that last for generations.

Why Custom Framing Matters for Military Memorabilia

Military memorabilia carries deep emotional value. Flags, patches, certificates, medals, and signed banners all tell a personal story. But without proper protection, sunlight, humidity, and dust can quickly cause long-term damage.

At Jubilee Framers, we use conservation-grade materials, UV-protective glazing, and museum mounting techniques to safeguard these items while presenting them proudly and respectfully.
This ensures:

  • Colours remain vivid

  • Messages stay legible

  • Fabrics retain their integrity

  • The entire piece remains structurally supported for decades

Protecting your memorabilia isn’t just about framing — it’s about preserving history.

The IET 1 Troop Banner: A Unique Farewell Gift

The featured project showcases a vibrant two-tone IET 1 TROOP banner, personalised with heartfelt handwritten messages from the troop. These messages express gratitude, camaraderie, and respect — making the banner priceless to its recipient.

Our framing approach included:

  • A deep shadow-box frame to allow the fabric to sit naturally without compression

  • A sleek black frame that enhances the banner’s bold yellow and green tones

  • Conservation mounting to secure the fabric without damaging it

  • UV-protective glass to safeguard the ink and prevent fading

  • A clean, modern presentation suitable for display in a home, office, or barracks

The result is a professional, polished piece that preserves both the banner and the memories written across it.

Shadow-Box Framing: The Ideal Choice for Fabric & 3D Items

Shadow-box framing is one of our specialties at Jubilee Framers.
It’s perfect for items such as:

  • Military flags and banners

  • Unit patches and badges

  • Medals and honours

  • Uniform elements

  • Signed sports shirts and memorabilia

  • Travel flags, team flags, and corporate banners

By creating depth between the glazing and the item, shadow-box frames provide protection without flattening or distorting the fabric.
