Hanging an acrylic print, mine arrived and there is no mounting hardware!

8 years 4 weeks ago #476033 by Dave Worton
I had a 24x36" acrylic print that just arrived on Friday and there is absolutely no mounting hardware or even holes in the back of this thing.  I have some hardware for wood frames, however I'm not familiar with drilling holes in acrylic.  Will it crack?  For the money, you would expect the proper hardware.  :blink:

Let me know if you can suggest anything.  Thank you PT.  I appreciate your help.

I've never tried to drill acrylic.  I suggest contacting the company that you purchased it from to get some hanging hardware.  With a print this size, you should have been offered several hanging options at no additional cost.  If this doesn't work, check with a local custom framer who should be familiar with working with acrylic.  I have some smaller (8 x 12) acrylic prints that came pre-drilled in four corners with wall off-set hardware from AdoramaPix.  Bay Photo is also another company that provides acrylic prints and may sell hanging hardware separately.

Yeah, they are on my first to call in the morning.  Was just to confirm if this is how these could be delivered or was I right.

Supposed to have either holes in the back or mounting hardware.  Sounds like you got a lemon.

I have one acrylic print and it came with the hardware to install.  Were you able to reach the company who sent this to you?  Are they sending hardware or new print?
