What Comes in the Auvrique Hanging Kit

A direct answer on hardware, placement and installation. The kit is included with every framed and canvas edition, and the mechanics take minutes rather than an afternoon.

Auvrique Editorial · Fine Art Editions

The short answer

Yes. Every Auvrique framed poster and canvas edition ships with a hanging kit included in the box at no extra cost. A framed poster kit contains a sawtooth hanger pre-fitted to the back plus a nail; canvas editions arrive ready to hang with the mounting hardware already attached. Installation takes under five minutes with a hammer or a drill.

What the Kit Contains

The kit is not an optional add-on or a paid accessory. It is part of Auvrique's included accessories for wall mounting and arrives packed with the print itself, so there is nothing to order separately and nothing to discover missing on installation day. Framed posters come with a sawtooth hanger and a matching nail. Canvas editions need no kit at all in the usual sense, because the hanging hardware is fitted to the stretcher bar before the piece is shipped.

The reason for the simplicity is deliberate. Most hanging failures come from mismatched hardware, a hook rated for the wrong weight, or a bracket that needs two people and a spirit level. A sawtooth hanger removes all three problems. One nail, one contact point, and the frame settles level on its own. If you are weighing formats before buying, the tradeoffs are covered in the guide to choosing between canvas and framed poster choose between canvas and framed poster.

How to Hang It in Five Minutes

Start by deciding the height. The standard is eye level, which puts the centre of the print around 145 to 152 cm from the floor. Hold the frame against the wall at that height, mark the top edge lightly in pencil, then measure down to where the sawtooth sits and mark the nail point. For a framed poster framed poster edition this whole step takes about two minutes.

Tap the nail in at a slight upward angle until roughly two thirds is embedded, rest the sawtooth on it, and check with a level. That is the entire process. Canvas editions are even quicker, since the hardware is already attached and the piece goes straight onto a single hook or nail. The same routine works whether the print is a small study or a large piece like the Art Forms in Nature canvas large canvas edition.

Before you start

Confirm the wall type, since plasterboard needs an anchor while masonry takes the nail directly
Mark the nail point at 145 to 152 cm from the floor for eye level viewing
Tap the nail in at a slight upward angle so the hanger cannot slide off
Rest the sawtooth on the nail and adjust sideways until the frame reads level

When the Standard Kit Is Not Enough

Honesty about the limits matters here. The included kit suits most walls and most frames, but it is not a solution for every situation. Very large canvases over a metre wide benefit from two fixing points rather than one. Tiled walls, brick and concrete need a drill and wall plugs, which the kit does not supply. And if you want a print hung without any nail at all, adhesive hooks are the alternative, covered in a separate guide.

None of this is a hidden cost. The kit covers the common case, which is a framed poster or mid-size canvas on a plaster or plasterboard wall. Anything beyond that is a normal hardware purchase from any hardware shop, not a defect in the box. If the piece arrives with hardware missing or damaged, the refund policy Auvrique refund policy applies and a replacement is the remedy.

Most hanging failures are hardware failures, and the cheapest fix is shipping the right hardware in the box.

Framed poster	Sawtooth hanger fitted to frame, one nail	Under 5 minutes

Related questions

Do I need to buy anything else to hang an Auvrique print?

For a standard framed poster or canvas on a plaster or plasterboard wall, no. The kit supplies the hanger and nail, or the hardware is pre-fitted on canvas. You may want a spirit level and a pencil, which most homes already have. Plasterboard walls over a certain thickness benefit from a small anchor, available at any hardware shop for under a euro or dollar.

Can I hang a canvas edition without drilling?

Yes, within limits. Canvas editions are lighter than framed glass, and a rated adhesive hook will hold most sizes on a smooth painted wall. Check the weight rating on the hook packaging against the print size before trusting it. For large canvases, a proper fixing into the wall remains the safer option, and no adhesive product changes that.

What if my print arrives without the hanging kit?

It should not happen, but if it does, the remedy is straightforward. Contact support with the order number and a replacement kit or a replacement piece is arranged under the refund and returns policy. The kit is treated as part of the product, not an optional extra, so a missing one counts as an incomplete delivery rather than a cosmetic issue.
