Hanging Hardware Comes Standard With Every Framed Print

A direct answer on hanging kits, plus what the hardware actually includes and how installation works. The short version arrives first, the mechanics follow.

The short answer

Auvrique does not currently offer Albin Egger-Lienz editions, so there is no Egger-Lienz print to hang. For the framed and canvas editions it does sell, a hanging kit is included with every order. Each kit contains the wall hooks and fixings needed for a standard installation, so the print arrives ready to hang.

What the hanging kit includes

Every framed print ships with a hanging kit as standard. The kit covers the basics of a straightforward installation: hooks for the wall, the fixings that anchor them, and hardware suited to the weight of the framed piece. Nothing needs to be bought separately before the print can go up. The frame arrives with its fittings in the same box, which removes the most common frustration, discovering halfway through that a component is missing.

Canvas editions follow the same principle. A canvas arrives fitted with its hanging hardware already attached to the back of the stretcher, so it is genuinely a ready-to-hang art print. The wall side still needs a hook or screw driven in by the buyer, since no seller can pre-install anything in a wall it has never seen. That is the one step the kit cannot do for you.

If you are weighing formats before ordering, the comparison between canvas and framed work covers how each one mounts and what that means for the wall behind it.

How installation works in practice

The process is short. Mark the wall position, drive in the hook or screw, and hang the frame or canvas from it. A framed poster typically needs a single point of contact. Larger canvases benefit from two points to keep them level, and a spirit level or a phone with a built-in level app settles that in seconds. Most people finish in under fifteen minutes.

Two honest caveats. First, the included fixings suit standard drywall and masonry; a plaster wall or a tile surface may call for a different anchor bought from a hardware shop. Second, weight matters. Check what the wall can carry before relying on a single hook, particularly for a larger framed piece. Neither caveat is complicated, but both are worth thirty seconds of thought before drilling.

For readers deciding on scale before they hang anything, the guide to choosing the right size of framed poster walks through wall proportions and eye-line placement.

Before you drill

Confirm the wall type so the right fixing goes in
Hold the print at eye level before marking the wall
Use two hanging points for anything wider than a metre
Check the level twice, hang once

If hardware ever goes missing

Missing hardware is the failure mode this question is really asking about, and it is a fair worry. Kits are packed with the print rather than sent separately, which cuts down on the lost-in-transit problem. If a component does arrive missing or damaged, the fix is a replacement rather than a refund, and the refund policy sets out how that is handled.

It is worth separating the two markets clearly. Original Egger-Lienz paintings, where they appear at auction, come with no hanging hardware and no kit, because an original is a different purchase entirely. Auvrique sells reproduction editions, framed and on canvas, and the hardware question belongs to that market alone. Anyone researching the artist's work itself will find more in the overview of his most popular prints.

The kit solves the wall side of the job. The drill is still yours.

Key takeaways

No Albin Egger-Lienz editions are currently offered, so no kit exists for that artist specifically.
A hanging kit is included with every framed print order at no extra cost.
Canvas editions arrive with hardware fitted to the stretcher, ready to hang.
Standard fixings suit drywall and masonry, so unusual wall surfaces may need a different anchor.

Related questions

Do I need to buy anything extra to hang a framed print?

No. The hanging kit included with the order covers the hooks and fixings for a standard installation on drywall or masonry. The only tools you supply are a drill or screwdriver, a pencil for marking, and ideally a level. A very heavy frame on a weak wall may justify a stronger anchor from a hardware shop.

Is a canvas print as easy to hang as a framed poster?

Usually easier. Canvas editions come with their hanging hardware attached to the stretcher bar, so the wall needs only a single hook or screw. There is no frame to align and no wire to adjust. A large canvas is lighter than the equivalent framed piece, which makes a two-person lift unnecessary in most cases.

Can I hang a print on a plaster or tile wall?

Yes, but the included fixings are not designed for those surfaces. Plaster often needs an anchor that spreads behind the wall, and tile needs a masonry bit and a wall plug rated for the load. Buy those locally before drilling. The print itself hangs exactly the same way once the right fixing is in place.
