Displaying medals in a wall-mounted case

[docmaster1]

This is how I did mine. I got this case from another forum member and there is a 1" pc of foam inside the display case. So the foam sort of puts pressure on the medals.

It all depends on the depth of your display case. My medal case I used 1/2" foam padding plus a layer of black cloth. On my new display case for my cloth insignia it was 1" padding plus cloth.

Thanks for all the great responses everyone!

Looks like thickening the backing is the way to go.

Hi Wiking

Maybe you can try this "3 point" technique and see if it will do the trick for you...

It will allow you to frame medals without punching holes in your ribbons but it does imply that you fold the ribbons at the top to a certain extent so they can be secured to the mounting surface and that you use a rather rigid backing (like cardboard) behind the cloth backing

I do like this though...may give it a try.
