Hanging Hardware Comes With Every Framed Poster

A framed print that arrives without the parts to hang it is an unfinished purchase. Here is what is actually in the box, what you may still need, and where the real costs hide.

The short answer

Framed posters from Auvrique ship with a hanging kit included in the price, so nothing needs to be bought separately. The kit covers standard wall mounting for the frame size ordered. Buyers should only budget extra if their wall is masonry, tile or unusually thick plaster, where a standard kit will not hold.

What Arrives In The Box

The short answer is that the hanging kit is included. A framed poster order ships with the mounting hardware for that frame size, packed alongside the print itself. There is no separate line item at checkout and no follow-up order to place. The price you see covers the frame, the print and the parts to put it on the wall.

That inclusion matters more than it sounds. Hardware bought after the fact is rarely matched to the frame, and a mismatched hook or an undersized screw is the most common cause of a dropped print. A kit sized to the frame removes that guesswork. The same logic applies across the range, whether you order a framed piece like Oak Grove, Carmel, framed poster or a canvas edition such as The Jeweled Shore on canvas.

When You Might Still Buy Something

The honest caveat is the wall, not the kit. Standard hardware assumes drywall, plaster or timber, and a wall anchor that bites properly into those surfaces. Masonry, brick and tile need masonry bits and anchors that most kits do not include. If your wall is one of those, expect a short trip to a hardware shop and a few dollars of extra parts.

Skeptics are right to ask, because some sellers do charge for mounting accessories separately, and the cost only appears at the last step of checkout. Auvrique does not work that way, and the shipping policy sets out what each order includes Auvrique shipping policy. If you are weighing framed against unframed, the comparison in choosing between canvas and framed poster covers what each format includes. Care for the frame once it is up is covered in cleaning and maintaining a framed poster.

Check Before You Hang

Confirm your wall type, since masonry and tile need anchors beyond a standard kit.
Check the weight of the frame size you ordered before choosing a hook or anchor rating.
Keep the kit packaging until the print is hung, in case a part is missing on arrival.
Contact support directly if anything in the kit is absent rather than buying replacements.

The Real Cost To Watch

The kit itself is rarely where money leaks. It is the second purchase people make when the first one arrives incomplete, or the picture hook bought in a hurry that fails six months later. Buying from a seller who includes matched hardware removes both risks, and it removes them at no extra cost to you.

One practical note on placement. A framed print hung at eye level, around 145 to 150 centimetres to the centre, needs no second attempt and no filler holes. Measure once, mark lightly, and the included kit does the rest. If you are still deciding on scale for the room, print size for a small living room works through the arithmetic.

The cheapest hardware is the kind that arrives in the same box as the frame.

Framed poster	Yes, matched to frame size	Masonry anchors only, if wall is brick or tile

Related questions

Does the hanging kit work on brick walls?

Not on its own. The included kit is designed for drywall, plaster and timber, where a standard anchor holds securely. Brick, block and tile need masonry anchors and a hammer drill, which are inexpensive at any hardware shop. Budget a few dollars and ten minutes if your wall is masonry.

Is the hanging kit included with canvas prints too?

Canvas prints arrive ready to hang, with the stretcher bar structure built for direct mounting, so the question rarely arises. A single hook or screw usually suffices. The practical differences between the two formats are set out in the guide to choosing between canvas and framed poster.

What if a part of the kit is missing when it arrives?

Do not buy replacements straight away. Check the packaging first, since small parts settle into corners in transit. If something is genuinely absent, contact support and a replacement part will be sent. Buying your own hardware before checking risks a mismatch between the anchor and the frame weight.
