What Comes in the Box With a Print

Hanging hardware is the small detail that decides whether a print goes up in ten minutes or sits in its tube for a month. Here is what is actually included, and where Maddox fits.

Auvrique Editorial · Fine Art Editions

The short answer

Auvrique includes a hanging kit with every framed poster and canvas edition it ships, at no extra cost. The kit carries the fixings needed for a standard wall. Auvrique does not currently offer Conroy Maddox editions, so a Maddox print hanging kit applies only if and when such editions exist.

The Short Answer on Hanging Kits

Every print Auvrique ships arrives with a hanging kit included in the box. Nothing is sold separately and nothing is billed as an add-on. The kit contains the fixings suited to the format, so a framed poster and a canvas edition each come with what their weight and construction require. The point is simple. A buyer should not need a second trip to the hardware store before the work goes on the wall.

The honest caveat concerns Conroy Maddox specifically. Auvrique does not currently offer editions of his work, so there is no Maddox print to kit out today. Readers weighing a purchase can compare what is available in where to buy Maddox prints online, or look at the hanging arrangements on a comparable piece such as the framed poster edition to see how the kit pairs with the format.

Why the Kit Ships With Every Print

Missing hardware is the most common complaint in the reproduction market. A print arrives fine, the frame is sound, and the box holds no hook, no nail, no wall anchor. The buyer is left guessing at fixings, and a heavy canvas hung on the wrong anchor is a real risk to both wall and work. Shipping the kit with the print removes that failure point entirely.

It also removes the guesswork about weight. A canvas edition and a framed poster distribute load differently, and the fixings differ accordingly. Anyone deciding between the two formats can read the comparison in canvas versus framed poster before ordering. For a sense of how a heavier canvas edition is prepared, the canvas edition shows the format in question.

The kit is not a selling argument dressed up as service. It is a packing decision. The hardware costs little, weighs little, and saves the buyer an errand that often stalls installation for weeks.

Hanging a Print Without the Guesswork

A kit solves hardware, not placement. Eye level remains the working rule, with the centre of the print roughly 145 to 152 centimetres from the floor in most rooms. Maddox's compositions, dense and off-balance by design, reward a little height so the eye reads the whole picture before the detail. Size matters here too, and the guidance in best sizes for a small living room covers the scale question directly.

For anyone still deciding, the practical sequence is straightforward. Choose the format, confirm the wall can take the fixings, and hang within a day of the print arriving. The kit means the last step needs no planning. A print that waits in its packaging is a print that never quite gets hung, and that is the outcome the kit exists to prevent.

The cheapest part of any print is the hook it hangs on, and the most often forgotten.

What arrives in the box

Key takeaways

Auvrique includes a hanging kit with every print, framed or canvas, at no extra cost.
No Conroy Maddox editions are currently offered, so the question is settled in principle rather than in stock.
The kit removes the most common installation failure, which is missing hardware on arrival day.
Fixings are matched to format weight, so a canvas and a framed poster are not hung identically.

Related questions

Does the hanging kit cost extra?

No. The kit is included in the price of every framed poster and canvas edition. There is no add-on charge and no separate listing. If a kit were ever missing from a delivery, that would be a packing error and would fall under the standard refund and replacement terms rather than a new purchase.

Will the kit work on every wall type?

The kit is designed for standard interior walls. Plasterboard, brick and stone each need different anchors, and a very heavy canvas on an old brick wall may want a fixing the kit does not include. For most homes and most formats, the included hardware is sufficient without a separate purchase.

What if I buy a Maddox print elsewhere?

Reproduction sellers differ widely on this, and some ship prints bare with no hardware at all. Check the product listing before ordering, and ask directly if it is unclear. Original works by Maddox are a separate market entirely, handled by galleries and auction houses, and come with no hanging kit of any kind.
