Document Preservation-Personal

Type: Part time

Startup costs: Medium/high 

Location: Dedicated space

Every family and business has those keepsake documents that they want to preserve.  If they are framed in a standard picture frame, the keepsake will eventually yellow or deteriorate.  News articles, pictures with celebrities, awards, and letters of recognition are just a few of the possibilities.  Businesses may want to preserve their employee, supplier or customer recognition awards before they present them.

A small woodworking shop can build different sizes and shapes of plaques so these documents can be sealed and laminated onto solid wood or laminate-coated medium-density pressboard plaques for better preservation.  The success in this business is all in the quality and design of your product. Customize to distinguish your product from others. Go to framing shops or check them online and you may find a variety of styles and materials that competitors in the business use.
