Print Opening & Hanging Guide

Here are our instructions and top tips for how best to open your new prints and hang your frames

Prints:

To ensure a smooth experience opening your print, we'd like to share some simple tips on how to open and flatten your unframed piece.

  1. Locate a flat, clean, and dry surface to open the package.

  2. Carefully remove the print from the tube, ensuring the protective paper is gently taken off.

  3. Unroll the print slowly onto the clean surface. To help it flatten, use clean, large books or paperweights on the corners. Allow it to sit for 24 hours.

Framed Prints:

Please see our tips below for how best to hang your framed prints.

*It is important to note that our framed prints will have either a sawtooth hanger or a wire hanger depending on where you have ordered from. Wire hanger: Australia, New Zealand, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, India, Indonesia, Thailand, Taiwan, Vietnam, Maldives, Japan, North and South Korea. Sawtooth hanger: Everywhere else

Recommended tools:

  • Measuring tape

  • Pencil

  • Spirit level

  • If using a nail:

    • Nail

    • Hammer

  • If using a screw:

    • Screw

    • Drill and drill bit

    • Screw driver

    • Drywall anchor

Step by step guide:

  1. Choose the location for your frame.

  2. Use masking tape or have a friend hold the frame in place to visualize its placement. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.

  3. Mark the center of the top side of the frame on the wall.

  4. Measure the distance from the top edge of the frame to either the sawtooth hanger (whether it's positioned at the center of the back of the print or on the frame itself) or to the wire hanger (considering the point where it will stretch to when hung on something).

  5. Make a mark below the center mark based on the measurement from step 4.

  6. Create a pilot hole for a drywall anchor at the marked spot. Alternatively, you can directly hammer a nail into the wall.

  7. Hang the frame on the screw or nail, ensuring it's centered on the sawtooth hanger.

  8. Hang the frame on the screw, ensuring it's centered on the sawtooth hanger.
