What Arrives in the Box With a Print Order
A short, practical answer on hanging hardware, what framed and canvas editions include, and the one case where you may still need to buy a hook yourself.
Framed and canvas editions are built to hang straight out of the box. A hanging kit is included with every order, so no separate hardware purchase is needed. The only exception is very large canvases, above roughly 90 cm, where a wall anchor suited to your wall type is worth buying locally.
What comes with a framed print
A framed poster arrives complete. The frame, the glazing, the mounted print and a hanging fitting are assembled before dispatch, so the piece is ready to hang the moment it is unwrapped. There is no second shopping trip for screws or hooks. The practical question is not hardware but placement, since a framed piece is rigid and needs a single secure point on the wall.
That single-point hanging is the honest limitation. A standard hook holds most framed sizes without trouble, but a large framed poster carries real weight and leans forward on the wall. If the piece sits above a sofa or in a hallway where it might be knocked, a two-point hanging or a heavier wall fixing is sensible. Size choices are covered in more detail in the guide to choosing a canvas size for your wall how to pick the right size.
Canvas editions and their hardware
Canvas prints hang differently. The stretcher bars keep the fabric taut, and the hanging hardware is fitted to the back of the frame before shipping. A canvas edition such as The Sycamores canvas print or By the Eure River in Summer is lighter than a glazed framed poster of the same size, which makes it more forgiving on plaster and drywall.
The one case where you buy hardware separately is scale. A canvas wider than about 90 cm benefits from two wall fixings rather than one, and the right fixing depends on your wall, which no kit can predict. A masonry anchor for brick, a toggle for plasterboard. That is a five minute purchase at any hardware shop, not a project. If you are weighing formats at all, the comparison between framed poster editions and canvas is set out plainly elsewhere canvas versus framed poster guide.
Included with every order

A note on this artist specifically
Ion Theodorescu-Sion worked in Romania in the early twentieth century, painting landscapes and figures with a post-impressionist hand, and his work is not widely reproduced. Auvrique does not currently carry editions of his paintings, so this answer addresses what any print order includes rather than a specific catalogue listing.
If his rural scenes appeal to you, similar tonal territory is covered by other landscape editions on canvas canvas edition details, and the guide to his most reproduced subjects explains what to look for his most popular prints. The practical point stands regardless of artist. Order, unwrap, hang. The hardware question is settled before the parcel is opened what orders include.
The hardware was never the hard part. Deciding where the piece goes is.
| Format | Hardware included | Extra purchase needed |
|---|---|---|
| Framed poster | Single-point hanging fitting | None for sizes under 70 cm |
| Canvas, standard | Fitted to stretcher bars | None |
| Canvas, over 90 cm | Fitted to stretcher bars | Second wall anchor, bought locally |
What you hang it with
Key takeaways
- Every framed and canvas order ships with the hanging hardware it needs.
- No separate purchase is required for standard sizes under about 90 cm.
- Very large canvases deserve a second fixing suited to your wall type.
- Auvrique does not currently list Ion Theodorescu-Sion editions, so check availability before ordering.
Related questions
Do I need to buy nails or hooks separately?
No. A hanging kit is included with every framed poster and canvas order, and the fitting on a canvas is already attached to the stretcher bars. For pieces larger than roughly 90 cm, a second anchor matched to your wall is the only sensible extra, and any hardware shop stocks one for a small sum.
Can a canvas print hang on plasterboard?
Yes, and usually with the included hardware alone. Canvas is lighter than a glazed framed poster of the same footprint, which helps on weaker walls. For a large canvas, spread the load across two fixings or use a toggle bolt. The guide to hanging without wall damage covers the detail.
Is the hanging kit the same for framed posters and canvas?
It differs by format. A framed poster uses a single-point fitting on the back of the frame. A canvas uses hardware fixed to the stretcher bars before shipping. Both arrive ready to hang, and neither requires you to source anything before the piece goes on the wall.
