Adam Baltatu Prints Arrive Ready to Hang

What actually arrives in the box, what hardware is included, and the one case where a print still needs a trip to the hardware store.

The short answer

Yes. Framed Adam Baltatu prints and canvas editions ship ready to hang, with mounting hardware included in the box. A framed poster typically weighs 1 to 3 kg and carries a hanging kit suited to a single hook. A canvas arrives with its strainer bar fitted, so it goes on the wall the day it arrives with no framing trip.

What ready to hang actually means

A ready to hang print is one that needs nothing from you except a hook in the wall. The frame is assembled, the glazing is fitted, the backing is sealed, and the hanging hardware is attached or packed inside. You take it out of the box, decide on a spot, and lift it onto the hook. There is no second purchase and no framing appointment.

For a framed Baltatu landscape, that means the print arrives glazed and mounted within its moulding, with the hanging kit included. For canvas, the print is stretched over strainer bars before it ships, so the front face is finished and the sides are clean. Either format hangs as delivered. The distinction between the two formats is covered in more depth in choosing canvas or a framed poster.

What comes in the box

The practical question is whether the print comes with mounting hardware, because a missing hook is what turns a ten minute job into a shopping trip. Framed editions ship with a hanging kit matched to the weight of the frame. Canvas editions hang from the strainer bar itself, and most people use a single hook or a small nail.

A few things are worth checking on arrival, and none of them require tools.

The kit covers ordinary walls. Plaster, brick and very large formats are the exceptions, and those need a wall anchor suited to the surface, which is a two euro part rather than a project.

Included with every edition

A hanging kit sized to the weight of the frame
Pre fitted strainer bars on canvas editions
Protective corner packing for transit
A backing seal on framed posters to keep dust out

The one case that needs extra work

Honesty requires the exception. A very large canvas, above roughly 90 cm on its long side, benefits from two fixing points rather than one, both set into wall plugs. That is still a fifteen minute job with a drill, but it is not the same as pressing a hook into plasterboard. If DIY of any kind is off the table, a local handyman charges a modest flat fee for a single hang.

Weight is the other variable. Framed posters in the smaller sizes are light enough for adhesive hooks, which leaves walls unmarked and removes the drill entirely. Larger framed pieces should carry on a proper hook, because adhesive fixings fail slowly and expensively. If you are weighing formats for a specific room, Auvrique canvas editions and framed poster editions list the sizes and weights that decide this. For placement in a tight space, sizing a print for a small bedroom covers the room side of the question.

The hardware is never the expensive part. The expensive part is a frame that falls because someone skipped the wall plug.

Format	Hardware included	Your job
Framed poster	Hanging kit matched to frame weight	One hook, one lift
Canvas edition	Strainer bar pre fitted	Single hook or nail
Large canvas over 90 cm	Kit included	Two fixings into wall plugs

What each format asks of you on hanging day

Key takeaways

Framed and canvas editions ship ready to hang with mounting hardware included.
Canvas arrives stretched, so there is no framing step after delivery.
Walls of plaster, brick or concrete need a wall anchor the kit does not cover.
Formats above roughly 90 cm are safer on two fixings than one.

Related questions

Does the print come with mounting hardware?

Yes. Framed editions ship with a hanging kit matched to the weight of the frame, and canvas editions hang from the pre fitted strainer bar, usually on a single hook. The kit covers standard walls. Brick, concrete and plaster over masonry need a wall anchor suited to the surface, which costs very little at any hardware shop.

Do I need to frame a canvas print before hanging it?

No. A canvas edition is stretched over strainer bars before it ships, so the front and sides are finished on arrival. Some people add a floating frame later for looks, but that is a choice rather than a requirement. Out of the box it hangs exactly as delivered.

Can I hang a large Baltatu print without drilling?

Small and medium framed posters are light enough for adhesive hooks, which leave no marks. Large formats should not rely on adhesive, because the failure is gradual and ends on the floor. If drilling is out of the question, a handyman will hang a single piece for a modest flat fee.

What if the print arrives damaged or the hardware is missing?

Damage in transit and missing components are both covered under the refund policy, and the fix is a replacement or a refund rather than a repair bill. Check the corners and the glazing on arrival, before you dispose of the packing, since claims are simplest when the transit materials are kept.
