What Comes in the Box With a Framed Print

What Comes in the Box With a Framed Print

A direct answer on hanging kits, plus the honest caveat about Abdullah Suriosubroto editions at Auvrique and what buyers of comparable prints receive.

The short answer

Auvrique does not currently offer editions by Abdullah Suriosubroto, so no hanging kit exists for one. For prints it does sell, a hanging kit is included with framed poster and canvas orders at no extra cost, so the price you see covers the hardware needed to hang the piece.

The Short Answer on Hanging Kits

Auvrique does not list any Abdullah Suriosubroto editions in its catalogue right now. That is the first thing to know, because a question about a hanging kit for one of his prints has a plain answer. There is no such order to include one with. If his work appears later, the inclusion policy that applies to other prints would be the place to check.

For the prints Auvrique does sell, the policy is straightforward. Framed poster and canvas editions ship with a hanging kit as standard, and the kit is part of the order price rather than an add-on at checkout. The same applies whether you order a framed poster or choose canvas. Nothing is held back to be sold back to you later.

Why Hidden Hardware Costs Annoy Buyers

The frustration is familiar. A print arrives, the frame is fine, and then the wall fixings turn out to be a separate purchase. For a buyer watching the total, a few units of currency for hooks and wall plugs after the fact feels worse than the same amount built into the price up front. It reads as a small deception even when it is only an oversight.

Auvrique's approach removes that step. The kit ships in the same box as the print, sized to the format ordered, so a canvas and a framed poster are not treated identically where their weight differs. If you are comparing options, the notes on framed poster editions set out what each format includes. The price on the product page is the price of a hangable object.

What the kit covers

  • Hooks and fixings matched to the format and weight ordered
  • Wall plugs suitable for standard interior walls
  • Simple fitting instructions printed for the specific format
  • Everything packed in the same shipment as the print itself

Hanging a Print Without the Kit

Some buyers prefer their own fixings, and that is fine. The kit is there so the order is complete, not so the print depends on it. A standard picture hook, a wall anchor of the right rating, or a rail system will all do the job. The kit simply means you are not making a second trip to the hardware shop on delivery day.

Weight is the one variable worth checking. A large canvas carries more load than a small framed poster, and plasterboard asks more of a fixing than masonry. If you are weighing formats before ordering, the comparison of canvas editions against framed options covers how the two hang differently.

The kit is not an accessory. It is the difference between a delivered object and a hung one.

Format Hanging kit included Extra cost
Framed poster Yes, in the same box None
Canvas edition Yes, matched to weight None
Abdullah Suriosubroto editions Not currently offered Not applicable

What ships with each format

Key takeaways

  1. Auvrique does not currently sell Abdullah Suriosubroto editions, so there is no hanging kit question to answer for this artist yet.
  2. For prints Auvrique does sell, a hanging kit is included with both framed poster and canvas orders.
  3. The kit is part of the order price, not an upsell at checkout.
  4. Buyers can substitute their own fixings if they prefer, provided the rating matches the weight.

Related questions

Are wall mounting accessories included in every Auvrique order?

Yes, for the framed poster and canvas formats Auvrique sells. The kit ships in the same box as the print and carries no separate charge. If a specific product page ever differs, the page itself states what is included, so check there before ordering.

Can I buy an Abdullah Suriosubroto print from Auvrique today?

Not at present. His work does not appear in the current catalogue, which is why any question about a kit for one of his prints is moot for now. For guidance on where his work is reproduced well elsewhere, see the article on buying high-quality prints of his paintings online.

What if my hanging kit arrives damaged or missing?

Contact Auvrique with your order number and the replacement is sent without charge. The kit is treated as part of the order, so a missing or damaged one falls under the same after-sales handling as any other fault with the shipment itself.

Do canvas prints need different fixings than framed posters?

Often, yes. Canvases are generally lighter per size but distribute weight differently, and larger canvases can flex on a single hook. The kit supplied is matched to the format ordered, which is why the two formats are not packed with identical hardware.

Every size, every country, delivery included

Editions are made to order and shipped worldwide. Choose a format and a size, and the price you see is the price you pay.
