What Comes in the Box With a Print Order

A short answer first, then the details that matter once the print is on your wall. Hardware, tools, and what a hanging kit actually contains.

The short answer

Framed and canvas editions ship with a hanging kit as standard, so no separate hardware purchase is needed. A kit typically includes wall hooks, screws, and wall plugs suited to the frame weight. Otto Mueller editions are not currently in the catalogue, but the same kit policy applies across all framed and canvas orders.

The Short Answer on Hardware

Every framed and canvas edition ships with a hanging kit included in the box. The kit covers the basics for a standard wall: hooks rated for the weight of the piece, matching screws, and wall plugs for masonry or plaster. Nothing extra to buy before the print goes up. The kit is packed inside the packaging, not sent separately, so check the box before discarding it.

One honest limit. A hanging kit assumes a normal wall and a normal fixings job. Very old plaster, tile, or brick behind render may need anchors from a hardware shop, and a very large canvas may warrant two fixing points rather than one. The kit handles the common case. The uncommon case is a five minute trip, not a project.

Does the Print Arrive Ready to Hang

Ready to hang means the fixing hardware is attached to the piece itself, and that is the case here. Framed editions arrive with a hanging fixture already fitted to the rear of the frame. Canvas editions arrive with the strapping or fixture in place on the stretcher bar. You supply the wall end of the job, and the kit supplies the parts for it.

So the practical sequence is short. Unbox, check the kit, mark the wall, fix the hook, hang. Most people finish in under fifteen minutes with a drill or a screwdriver and a tape measure. If you are still deciding on size or placement before ordering, the guidance on choosing print sizes for a living room covers the spacing questions that come up most often best sizes for a living room print.

What the Hanging Kit Contains

Contents are matched to the edition rather than generic. A framed poster gets hooks and fixings rated for its weight. A canvas gets the same, scaled to the stretcher. The idea is that the kit in the box is the right kit for that specific piece, not a one size assortment that half fits.

A note on Otto Mueller specifically. His editions are not currently offered, so there is no Mueller kit to describe today. The policy described here applies to the catalogue as it stands, and any future edition would follow it. If you are weighing canvas against a framed poster in the meantime, the tradeoffs are set out plainly in a separate guide canvas print versus framed poster.

The fixing hardware on the back of the piece is already attached when it arrives.
Unusual walls such as tile or old plaster may need one anchor from a hardware shop.
Otto Mueller editions are not currently offered, so no Mueller specific kit exists today.

Related questions

Do I need to buy anything else to hang a canvas print?

No. The kit includes hooks, screws, and wall plugs, and the hanging fixture is already on the stretcher bar. You need only a drill or screwdriver, a tape measure, and a pencil. If your wall is tile or very old plaster, a single masonry anchor from a hardware shop covers the gap.

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

Check the contents against the printed fixing guide as soon as you unbox. If a part is missing or the piece is damaged in transit, contact support with a photo and a replacement or remedy follows under the standard refund policy [[S2|Auvrique Refund Policy]]. Keep the packaging until the piece is hung.

Can I hang a canvas without drilling?

Yes, with limits. A small canvas can hold on adhesive hooks rated for its weight, and renters often prefer this. The tradeoff is reliability. Adhesive fixings fail on warm or textured walls, and a canvas falling takes the wall paint with it. For anything above roughly 60 cm, drilled fixings are the safer choice.
