I would rubber band it in a frame. It isn't very big, but it would be a learning experience. You will likely have opportunities to add broken combs at some time. (and maybe even some combs from a cutout). So why not rubber band the comb and put it in the hive and learn from the experience.
Sawbee, a rubber band will crush it. New comb is too soft for a band. You can press the top of it to a frame topbar. It will hold until they attach it and add on to it.
