Physical reminders in a digital world
News keepsakes give you a way to celebrate your published milestones
So many of the stories we publish online really deserve to be hung on someone’s wall. Until now, we didn’t have a way to offer printed, frame-worthy copies of these articles.
Now we do.
The Lansing Journal is partnering with Newskeepsake.com to make it easy for you to get a premium display copy of any of our online articles.
Hard to describe
It’s hard to describe these custom pieces, and even photos don’t fully capture their unique presentation. They are not quite “framed copies” — there’s no glass and no separate frame. Each Hardiplaque order is custom embossed right onto a durable textured laminate material and edged with your choice of Matte Black, Satin Gold, Satin Silver, or Matte White. They come ready to hang in your home or office.
- Hardiplaque prices range from $150–$350, not including shipping
Hard to order
Ordering a custom-printed keepsake is somewhat more involved than filling a shopping cart at Amazon. The size of the display piece is determined by the word count of the article. The production team sends a digital proof, and an online comment system allows for corrections and ultimately approval. Occasionally the team requests higher-resolution versions of the photos in order to ensure the final reproduction is crisp.
Handling the details (the white-glove treatment)
We recognize those difficulties, so we prefer to guide you through the order process to ensure you get the keepsake you deserve. Email [email protected] about the article you’re interested in. We can translate the word count into the correct size for your keepsake, figure out the shipping cost, and tell you what your order will total. With your approval, we’ll send you a secure payment link and then place your order.
Other Keepsakes options
The Hardiplaque is our most popular style of keepsake, but two other options are available.
Acrylic Plaque
The Acrylic Plaque option is high-resolution archival UV printed directly onto quarter-inch acrylic, no sublimation. Diamond-polished edges complete the professional display of your article. Ships with mounting hardware, ready to display. The Acrylic Plaque works well in rooms where windows or other light sources won’t cast a glare on the polished acrylic surface.
- Acrylic Plaque prices range from $250–$400, not including shipping
Archival Reprint
If you prefer to do the framing yourself, a high-resolution archival reprint will give you a printed product that is guaranteed not to yellow or wrinkle. Your article is printed on durable acid-free paper in 200-year archival inks that offer true color fidelity.Arrives in a durable shipping tube, ready for you to frame locally or store in your own archives.
- Archival Reprint prices range from $100–$200
