The Legacy Print Classic (30×20 cm), The Legacy Print Statement (42×30 cm), The Cinematic (21×14 cm), The Cinematic Print Classic (30×20 cm) and The Cinematic Print Statement (42×30 cm) each include their own tool-free magnetic kit for a compatible dry indoor wall. Follow the supplied instructions and hang each print exactly 1 minute after kit installation. The Keepsake Trio is a desk set of three 13×9 cm panels with three separate metal desk stands, not a wall format.
No-drill mounting is useful only when the product, wall and environment are compatible. “Strong tape” is not a substitute for checking those conditions.
This guide covers the magnetic kit supplied with supported Legacy and The Cinematic Print range wall formats.
Which Formats Use Which Mount?
Magnetic wall kit
The following formats include a tool-free magnetic wall-mount kit for a compatible indoor wall:
- The Legacy Print Classic;
- The Legacy Print Statement;
- The Cinematic (21×14 cm);
- The Cinematic Print Classic (30×20 cm); and
- The Cinematic Print Statement (42×30 cm).
Each of these sizes, with its finish options and supplied mounting, is listed on the metal print range page.
The Keepsake Trio desk display
The Keepsake Trio is sold only as the complete 3-Pack of three 13×9 cm prints with three separate metal desk stands. It does not use the wall-mounting configuration.
Address Sign
For the Address Sign, the customer chooses exactly one kit at no extra charge: four mechanical standoffs for a compatible façade, external insulation or masonry, creating an approximately 20 mm gap; or mounting adhesive for flush, no-drill mounting on a compatible exterior façade or indoor surface. Exactly one selected kit is supplied.
Wall Compatibility Comes First
The Legacy Print Classic, The Legacy Print Statement and all Cinematic wall formats each include their own magnetic kit for a compatible dry indoor wall. Follow the supplied instructions and hang each print exactly 1 minute after kit installation.
1
Confirm the product and wall are compatible
Use the supplied magnetic kit only with a supported Bolot wall format on a compatible dry indoor wall. If the surface is not clearly compatible, stop and contact support before installing anything.
Where Each Product Is Meant to Live
The most common no-drill mistake is not the method — it is the location. Bolot photo prints and the exterior sign are two different products with two different homes, and no mounting choice moves one into the other's territory.
The Legacy Print and The Cinematic Print are made for dry indoor display. They have no UV laminate and no exterior or special-order exterior configuration, so a covered porch, a damp room or a garden wall sits outside what they are built for, no matter what holds them there. If the spot you have in mind is not a dry indoor room, the honest answer is a different product, not a different mounting method.
The Address Sign is the exception, and the only one: it is Bolot Studio's single exterior product. It is glossy, includes a protective UV laminate as standard, and combines a 2 mm DIBOND panel with a 0.55 mm printed aluminium plate for a total thickness of 2.55 mm. It also has its own answer to the no-drill question — the mounting adhesive option described above, chosen instead of the standoffs rather than alongside them. No other Bolot product uses that glue system, and the instructions supplied with the sign are the ones to follow.

Third-party strips and ledges can be valid products, but their manufacturers—not Bolot—define their compatible surfaces, loads, cure time, and removal method. Do not combine ratings from unrelated systems.
What Bolot's Guidance Actually Covers
It is worth being precise about what this guide is. Bolot's installation guidance covers the mounting set supplied with your own print, and nothing beyond it. It is not a general statement about no-drill hanging.
That distinction matters the moment another product enters the picture. Picture strips, hooks and hanging rails are made by other manufacturers, and each of them defines its own compatible surfaces, loads, preparation, cure time and removal method for its own system. Those figures describe that manufacturer's product, not Bolot's, and they do not travel in either direction: a rating printed on a strip pack says nothing about the set supplied with a Bolot print, and Bolot's guidance says nothing about the strip.
Using a third-party system is a legitimate choice — but from that point you are following its manufacturer's instructions, and this article no longer describes your installation. The same is true of a shelf or picture ledge: whoever made it decides how it is fitted and what it can safely hold.
Follow the Supplied Instructions
The Legacy Print Classic, The Legacy Print Statement and all Cinematic wall formats each include their own magnetic kit for a compatible dry indoor wall. Follow the supplied instructions and hang each print exactly 1 minute after kit installation.
2
Install the magnetic wall kit
Install the kit exactly as described in the supplied instructions. The instructions that came with your print take precedence over any general guidance.
3
Wait exactly 1 minute
Follow the supplied instructions and hang the print exactly 1 minute after installing the kit.
Decide the Mounting Before You Order
Mounting is settled at the point of order, not at the wall. The included mounting hardware or desk stands depend on the selected product and format, so the reliable answer is always the current configuration for the exact item you are buying — never a general rule picked up somewhere else.
Two checks take a few seconds each. First, open the current product page or configurator and confirm what the selected size and finish ship with; the metal print range page lists each format alongside its supplied mounting. Second, settle where the piece is going before you order, because that is what decides whether you need an indoor wall format, a desk display or the exterior sign.
If either answer is unclear, ask before ordering rather than after the parcel arrives. Bolot support can confirm what a specific format includes, and a question costs a minute where a return costs a fortnight.

Yes. Bolot makes each supported Legacy or Cinematic wall format from the image submitted with the order. The supplied magnetic mounting configuration depends on the selected format; check the current product page before ordering.
Bolot’s installation guidance covers the supplied mounting set only. A third-party manufacturer defines its own compatible surfaces, loads, preparation, cure time, and removal method, so do not transfer ratings or instructions between systems.
No. The Legacy Print and The Cinematic Print are made for dry indoor display. They have no UV laminate and no exterior or special-order exterior configuration, so a damp room or a covered porch sits outside what they are built for, no matter what holds them there.
