What Arrives in the Box With a Paul Paun Print

A direct answer on hanging hardware, framed versus canvas, and the small costs a buyer can avoid by checking one detail before ordering.

Auvrique Editorial · Fine Art Editions

The short answer

Framed prints and canvas editions ship ready to hang, with the necessary hardware included in the box at no extra charge. A framed poster arrives with a hanging kit suited to its weight; a canvas comes strung on the back bar. Nothing needs to be bought separately before the print goes on the wall.

The Short Answer on Hanging Hardware

Framed prints ship ready to hang. The frame arrives with its hanging hardware already fitted or packed alongside it, and the cost sits inside the price of the edition rather than appearing as a separate line at checkout. A buyer who orders a framed piece does not need to budget for hooks, wire or brackets on top of the print itself Auvrique Shipping Policy.

Canvas editions work the same way. The canvas is stretched over a wooden bar and strung at the back, so it hangs from a single hook or nail. The practical difference between the two formats is weight, not hardware. A large framed poster needs a sturdier fixing than a canvas of the same size, and plaster walls complicate both. The kit covers the print. The wall preparation is the buyer's side of the job.

What the Kit Does Not Cover

Honesty about the limits saves money later. A hanging kit assumes a ordinary wall and a standard fixing. It does not include wall anchors for brick, special fixings for tile, or a spirit level. Anyone hanging a heavier framed piece on masonry will still need a drill bit and plugs from a hardware store, usually a cost of a few units of currency rather than a significant sum.

The other thing the kit does not decide is placement. That choice affects the work more than the hardware does. A piece hung at eye level, roughly 145 centimetres to the centre, reads differently from one hung high over a sofa. Readers weighing format against room size will find the trade-offs set out in the guide to choosing between canvas and framed poster Does Paul Paun's work look better as a canvas or framed poster?, and the size guide for small rooms covers the spatial side What size Paul Paun print fits best in a small living room?.

Worth checking before you order

Confirm the wall type, since plaster, brick and tile each need different fixings beyond the included kit
Weigh the framed format against canvas, because heavier frames need stronger anchors
Measure the hanging height in advance so the first placement is the final one
Keep the packaging until the print is up, in case the piece needs to go back

A Note on Availability

One clarification belongs here. Editions after Paul Paun's work are not currently listed in the catalogue, so this answer describes how framed and canvas editions are handled generally rather than pointing to a specific product page. The hardware policy applies across the range, and any framed piece ordered will arrive with what it needs to go straight onto the wall.

For readers comparing artists in the meantime, the same logic holds elsewhere. A framed poster such as Beynac Quay at Bordeaux arrives with its hanging kit included Beynac Quay at Bordeaux framed poster, as does a canvas like Near Pontoise Near Pontoise canvas edition. If a specific question remains, the contact page reaches a person who can confirm what a given format ships with before the order is placed Auvrique contact.

The hardware is the cheap part. The wall behind it is where the real decisions happen.

Related questions

Are prints ready to hang when purchased, or do I need to frame them first?

Both framed posters and canvas editions arrive finished and ready to hang. The frame is assembled and the canvas is stretched and strung before dispatch. No trip to a framer is needed, and no additional mounting supplies need to be bought before the piece goes up.

Do I need to buy my own nails or hooks?

For a standard plaster or drywall wall, no. The included kit covers it. For brick, concrete or tile, a masonry bit and wall plugs are usually required, and those are a small hardware-store purchase rather than something supplied with the print.

Is there any extra charge for the hanging kit at checkout?

No. The hardware is part of the product, not an add-on, so nothing appears as a separate line in the basket. The price of a framed or canvas edition is the full cost of the piece as it hangs on the wall.
