What Comes in the Box With a Halonen Print

What Comes in the Box With a Halonen Print

A short answer first, then the details that matter once the parcel arrives. This page covers what each Pekka Halonen edition ships with, what you may still need to buy, and how to get the work on the wall without extra trips to the hardware shop.

The short answer

Yes. Every Pekka Halonen print from Auvrique arrives with a hanging kit included at no extra cost. Framed poster editions ship with the appropriate wall fixings for the frame weight, and canvas editions come strung and ready to hang. Nothing needs to be purchased separately to put the work on the wall.

What the Hanging Kit Contains

The kit is matched to the edition. A framed poster gets fixings suited to its frame and weight class, packed flat inside the box so nothing rattles loose in transit. A canvas edition is strung on the back before it ships, so the kit covers the wall side of the job. Either way, the print and its hardware arrive together.

One honest caveat. The included fixings suit plasterboard and standard masonry walls. If you are mounting a larger framed piece on brick, tile or an unusually soft wall, a heavier anchor from a hardware shop may be the better call. That is a five euro addition, not a hidden cost of the print itself. For sizing decisions before you order, the guide to choosing a size for a living room wall is worth a look.

Ready to Hang, In Practice

Ready-to-hang art prints mean the work goes up with what is in the box, on the day it arrives. No framing appointment, no separate glazier, no second delivery. A framed Halonen framed poster edition comes glazed and fitted with its hanging points already in place. You supply the hammer and the ten minutes.

Canvas works differently. The strung canvas needs no frame at all, which suits Halonen's winter landscapes and forest interiors particularly well, since the image runs to the edge without a border interrupting it. If you prefer that look, you can buy the canvas edition and hang it directly. Care after hanging is simple and covered in the guide to caring for a canvas print.

Included with every order

  • Wall fixings matched to the edition's weight, packed with the print
  • Hanging points or strapping fitted before dispatch, not left to you
  • A short insert describing the recommended mounting surface
  • No additional purchase required to hang the work on arrival

Costs You Will Not Incur

The worry behind this question is usually financial. Framing a print separately can cost more than the print itself, and a hanging service adds another fee on top. Neither applies here. The frame, the glazing and the fixings are part of the price of a framed edition, and the canvas needs no frame at all.

The only realistic extra is a heavier wall anchor for difficult surfaces, as noted above. If a piece arrives damaged rather than merely difficult, the Auvrique Refund Policy covers replacement rather than asking you to source repairs. That distinction matters, and it is worth reading before a large order rather than after.

The frame is the expensive part of most wall art. Here it is already paid for.

Edition Hanging hardware Frame needed

Related questions

Do I need to buy nails or screws separately?

For a standard plasterboard or masonry wall, no. The included fixings cover it. If you are mounting onto brick, tile or a very soft wall, buy one heavier anchor locally. It costs a few euros and takes the guesswork out of a large framed piece.

Is the hanging kit different for canvas and framed editions?

Yes. Framed posters ship with wall fixings matched to the frame weight. Canvas editions are strung on the reverse before dispatch, so the kit focuses on what attaches to the wall. Both arrive complete.

What if the print arrives with missing or damaged parts?

Contact Auvrique with a photo and the replacement is handled under the refund policy rather than left to you to source. Check the contents against the insert before you hang, since a missing fixing is easiest to resolve before the work is on the wall.
