What Comes in the Box With a Print Order

A direct answer on hanging hardware, what arrives with framed and canvas editions, and where the gaps are. Written for anyone who has opened a print box and found it half finished.

Auvrique Editorial · Fine Art Editions

The short answer

Yes. Every Auvrique print order ships with a hanging kit included at no extra cost, so there is no separate purchase and no second trip to the hardware shop. Framed posters and canvas editions both arrive with the appropriate fixings for their format, ready to hang on the wall the day they arrive.

The Short Answer on Included Hardware

A hanging kit is included with every print order, framed or canvas. The kit matches the format. A framed poster ships with fixings suited to its hanging hardware, and a canvas edition ships with what its format requires. Nothing is sold separately and nothing is billed as an add-on at checkout.

This matters more than it sounds. A print that arrives without hardware is not finished, it is a project. The point of ordering a ready-to-hang reproduction is to open the box, place it on the wall, and be done. Anyone who has bought a print elsewhere and then spent an evening hunting for the right wall plug knows the difference. If you are still weighing formats, the comparison between canvas and framed poster editions covers what each one asks of the wall.

What the Kit Actually Contains

The contents follow the format rather than a fixed list. A framed piece carries its own hanging hardware already fitted, so the kit supplies the wall-side fixings. A canvas edition is lighter and hangs differently, so its kit reflects that. The principle is simple. Whatever is needed to put the specific print on a standard wall is in the box.

One honest caveat. Walls vary. Plasterboard, brick and old masonry each need different anchors, and no kit can cover every building. If your wall is something other than standard drywall, check what the hardware suits before drilling. That is not a gap in the kit, it is the nature of hanging anything. For a sense of what each format weighs and how it mounts, see the guide to choosing between canvas and framed poster.

Ready to Hang Means Ready

The phrase gets used loosely across the print trade, so it is worth being precise about what it means here. A canvas edition arrives stretched and finished at the edges, so it can hang frameless the moment it is up. A framed poster arrives glazed and strung. Neither needs a trip to a framer, and neither leaves you holding a print and a bag of parts.

For anyone ordering a reproduction as a gift or for a room that is already decorated, this is the whole decision. The print arrives complete. If you are comparing sellers, ask specifically what ships in the box, because the answer varies more than product pages admit. And if the artist you want is not yet in the catalogue, the guide to buying prints online sets out how to judge other sellers on the same points.

A print that arrives without hardware is not a finished purchase. It is homework.

Ready to hang means the print needs nothing else before it goes on the wall.

Related questions

Do canvas prints and framed posters come with the same hanging kit?

No, and they should not. A framed poster is heavier and hangs from fitted hardware, so its kit covers the wall side. A canvas edition is lighter and mounts differently. Each order ships with fixings matched to the format you bought, not a generic bag of parts.

Is there any extra charge for the hanging kit?

There is no separate charge and no add-on at checkout. The kit is part of the order. If a seller lists hanging hardware as an optional extra, treat that as a signal to read the product page closely before buying.

What if my wall type needs different fixings?

Standard kits suit common drywall and similar surfaces. Brick, stone and some plaster walls need specific anchors that no print seller includes. Buy those locally before the print arrives and the installation takes minutes instead of an afternoon.
