What Arrives in the Box With a Print Order

A direct answer on hanging hardware, what counts as included, and where the fine print usually hides when a print is sold as ready to hang.

Auvrique Editorial · Fine Art Editions

The short answer

Framed prints from Auvrique ship with a hanging kit included in the box at no extra charge, so the price you see covers the hardware. Canvas editions generally do not include one, because a stretched canvas with a wooden frame bar is usually hung on a nail or hook without added fittings.

The Short Answer on Hardware

Yes. A framed Petre Otskheli print ordered through Auvrique comes with a hanging kit packed alongside the frame. There is no separate line item and nothing to add at checkout. The kit is part of the framed product, the way glass is part of the frame. If a listing ever charges extra for basic hardware, that cost should be visible before payment, not discovered after.

The practical point matters more than the policy. A framed print is heavy enough that the wrong fixing ruins a wall, so the included kit is a starting point rather than a complete solution. Plaster, brick and stud walls each want different anchors. Anyone hanging a larger framed piece should plan for that before the box arrives, not after.

Canvas Editions Work Differently

Canvas editions are a different case. A stretched canvas carries its own internal frame bars and is light relative to its size, so most pieces hang on a single hook or nail with no kit at all. Some sellers add a small fitting anyway. The honest framing is that canvas rarely needs purchased hardware, not that it always ships with it.

For anyone weighing the two formats, the difference is worth a minute of thought. A framed poster with glass reads as a finished object and needs its kit. A canvas hangs closer to the wall and disappears into it.

What to Check Before Ordering

Confirm the listing states the hanging kit is included rather than sold separately
Match the kit to your wall type, since plaster and brick need different fixings
Check the weight of a large framed print before choosing the anchor
For canvas, assume a single hook is enough unless the piece is very large

Avoiding Hidden Costs at Checkout

The fear behind this question is simple. A print looks affordable until hardware, mounting or an installer adds twenty unexpected units of currency. With Auvrique that risk does not apply to framed orders, because the kit ships in the box and the listed price is the full price of the framed piece. Nothing is held back for a second payment.

It is still sensible to read the shipping details before ordering, since delivery terms and what is packed vary between formats and destinations. The shipping policy sets out what is included with each order Auvrique shipping policy. For context on availability, note that Auvrique does not currently list Otskheli editions, so readers comparing sellers should check each store's product page rather than assuming parity.

The kit is never the expensive part. The wall behind it is.

Related questions

Does the hanging kit cost anything extra?

No. For framed prints the kit is packed with the frame and covered by the listed price. There is no add-on at checkout and no separate invoice. If a seller anywhere charges for basic hardware, that charge should appear before payment, and treating it as a red flag is reasonable.

Is the included kit enough for a brick wall?

Possibly not. Standard kits are designed for ordinary interior walls. Brick, block and older plaster usually need masonry anchors and a drill. The kit gets a framed print onto a typical wall; anything beyond that is a hardware decision, not an extra cost from the seller.

Do I need a hanging kit for a canvas print?

Almost never. A stretched canvas has its own internal bars and hangs from a single hook or nail. Very large pieces benefit from two points for level, but neither requires purchased fittings. Anyone deciding between formats can read how canvas and framed posters differ before ordering.
