Hanging kits arrive with every custom print order

A hanging kit for art prints usually ships with the work, but the contents vary by format and by the wall you plan to use. The convenience of pre-packaged display accessories is real only when the kit matches the weight and the surface.

The short answer

Yes, a hanging kit for art prints is included with every order at Auvrique, though the contents depend on the format you choose. Canvas prints arrive with a pre-stretched stretcher bar and ready-to-hang hardware. Framed posters ship with hanging hardware matched to the frame weight. The kit is not a universal set of brackets and anchors for every wall type.

What arrives in the box

A canvas print ships stretched over a wooden frame, with the hanging hardware already fixed to the back. You do not need to assemble a stretcher or attach a wire. The hardware is sized to the finished piece, so a small print and a large print do not use the same fittings. If the wall is solid and the print is under a certain weight, the included fittings are usually enough. A heavier canvas or a large framed poster asks for more than the standard kit provides.

A framed poster arrives with a frame, glazing, and hanging hardware matched to that frame. The hardware is not interchangeable with the canvas fittings. If you want to hang the piece on a plaster wall, a tile wall, or a surface that will not hold a small nail, the kit alone will not solve the problem. The convenience of pre-packaged display accessories is limited to the installation the maker assumed. choosing between a canvas print and a framed poster explains the format differences that drive those assumptions.

Where the kit stops helping

The missing hardware problem usually begins with the wall, not with the print. A kit that works on a solid interior wall may fail on plaster over lath, on drywall with a hollow cavity behind it, or on a surface that will not hold a small nail. The kit is not a substitute for anchors, screws, or a drill when the wall is the weak point. If you are hanging the piece in a rental, on a tile surface, or above a heat source, plan for hardware the kit does not include.

The kit also does not cover the tools needed to install it. A hammer or a small screwdriver may still be required, depending on the fittings supplied. If the print is large or the frame is heavy, two people and a level are a better investment than the kit itself. hanging a canvas print without damaging the back covers the installation steps that the kit assumes you can complete.

What the kit usually includes

Pre-attached hanging hardware on the back of the canvas or frame
A hanging kit for art prints matched to the weight of that specific piece
No wall anchors, screws, or drill bits for difficult surfaces
No tools, level, or second pair of hands for larger pieces

How to decide before you order

Decide what wall you are hanging on before you choose the format. A canvas print on a solid interior wall is the simplest case, because the hardware is already fixed and the piece is ready to lift. A framed poster on the same wall is also straightforward, but the frame adds weight and the glazing adds fragility. If the wall is uncertain, choose the lighter option and plan for anchors separately. The choice is about the wall more than about the image.

If you are still comparing formats, the size of the room and the weight you are willing to carry both matter. A small bedroom and a large living room do not ask the same thing of the hardware. what size print fits a small bedroom and what size print fits a small living room cover the size decisions that affect how much the kit has to hold.

The kit solves the print. It does not solve the wall.

Related questions

Does the kit include wall anchors for drywall?

No. The kit includes hardware fixed to the print or frame, not anchors for the wall. Drywall, plaster, and tile each need their own fasteners. If the wall is the uncertain part, buy anchors separately before you hang the piece.

Can I hang a canvas print without any extra hardware?

Often yes, on a solid interior wall. The canvas arrives with hardware already attached. If the wall is plaster over lath, hollow, or tiled, the included fittings may not hold, and you will need anchors or a different hanging method.

What do I need that is not in the kit?

For a straightforward wall, usually nothing. For a difficult wall, you may need anchors, screws, a drill, a hammer, a small screwdriver, and a level. Larger or heavier pieces also benefit from a second person during installation.
