1208625	2011-06-13 01:51:00	Will that frame it and stop it fading? Well it seals it and can be used as a frame. Obviously it wont stand up like a frame (since its plastic, but you can still frame it), after you cut it (with a stanley / utility knife), since it maybe a bit big to fit into a frame (depending on the size of the frame) Most sites say laminating something, will stop it from fading. Since something usually fades (if its exposed to air). It wont be, since its sealed. I use a laminator here, to laminate my photos. I've laminated certs, but they're in a binder, not framed	Speedy Gonzales (78)

If lightfast inks have been used this will also slow the process down	plod (107)
