Self adhesive hooking system

Hello

I bought some photos of mine printed on aluminum canvas, but now I have an awkward problem: I do not know how to hang them up .

The best would be to find a system that can be sticked to the aluminum canvas and then hung to the wall, but I could not find anything similar around.

Any suggestion to help me?

Have you tried asking the company that printed them for you? They might be able to offer advice and/or that service, or at least point you in the right direction.

I'm surprised they didn't come with a hanging system. When I had a photo printed on aluminium, by Pixum, it came with a hanging system. Said photo now hangs in my son's home and looks really good, though I say so myself .

Get back in touch with the company that printed them, as Steven suggests, or maybe do a search online for help.

You can buy strips of self adhesive Velcro, which may work I guess if the photos aren't too huge.

well at that time (when I bought the prints) I thought that 5 pounds extra for the hanging system were too much...maybe I did not choose wisely

Would advise against velco strips. At a recent exhibition several mounts, A3 size, were ruined by the corners splitting when the mount came away from the display board, it was the adhesive that gave way, and hit the floor. I noticed the velcro strip was very easy to remove from the mount when the images were returned and left no trace.

The system proposed by the company where I bought the prints IS self adhesive, but I do not think is Velcro based...so basically I will not find something useful around?

I have recently used some of the (3M? i think) and it is the velcro style that locks to itself no hook and cloth side, left the self adhesive for 15 minutes after applying and it was extremely solid even in temps exceeding 40 celcius (holding a 4'x3' magnetic white board). Only downside it was in a large roll not smaller packs so price maybe a touch high, especially as they sourced from RS

problem is...I do not want to stick anything to the wall...I want to use nails for the wall..the adhesive part I reckon is needed to stick on the aluminum print.

The canvas prints that I have seen are fixed on to a wooden or sometimes light metal stretcher that hold the canvas taut with no sagging.
Just like an artist would make for a painting, if that is what you have you can use a brass plates fixed to the back of the picture and then screw them to the wall, or two screw eyes in to the back of the wood or metal stretcher with some picture wire fixed between then and then hang it on a nail....hope this helps ...jeff... where do you live I'll come round and do it

As suggested, 3M make a product called COMMAND, which I think will be suitable for your needs. Here is a link.

Thanks Steven - that'll come in useful in the future

I just read your post again sebass77 , are your prints framed?..jeff..

Hello jeff and thanks for the answer. No they are not, it is just the print itself bought from picanova (recent groupon deal)

wow Infestation and steven9761, I just had a quick look, but it looks like they are what I am looking for! I will check better later, meanwhile big thanks to you both!

ok I have seen them better now, not quite what I am looking for although they could be all right.
However I do want to make a hole on my wall! The adhesive part should be just for the frame side...I do not trust a lot an adhesive on the wall honestly.

maybe something like these plate hangers https://plate-stands.com/hangers.html
