Your labels help visitors connect each artwork to its story. They make your wall easier to read, more accessible, and more professional for everyone.
You are free to design your labels in a way that fits your practice. Choose the style, typography and format that feel right for your work, as long as the information stays clear, readable and consistent across your section of the exhibition.
Attaching labels correctly keeps the gallery walls in good condition and makes your display look clean. Please follow the approved methods below when preparing and placing your labels.
Rigid card labels are practical and elegant. They are easy to read, sit flat on the wall, and work beautifully for paintings, photography and sculpture.
To attach your label without damaging the wall, use only soft masking tape. This tape has a gentle adhesive and will not pull paint or leave residue.
Fold small pieces of tape into rings and place them on the back of your label. Use as many rings as you need so the label stays firm and level.
Acetate labels are a modern, very clean option. They almost disappear on the wall and keep the focus on your artwork. You can use acetate in two ways.
Attach the acetate label to the back of your frame so it hangs discreetly behind the work. This creates a soft floating effect and keeps the wall untouched.
If you prefer the label beside the work, use the same soft masking tape rings to attach it gently to the wall.
Your label is flexible and personal. You decide what best represents your work. The example below is simply a friendly reference to help you structure your text.
Details that often appear on labels
Include only what feels right for you. What matters most is clarity, legibility and harmony with your wall and the overall exhibition atmosphere.
This example shows a label format that often frustrates visitors. It gives too little information, repeats what is already visible in the work, or makes people ask for the price. A clear label helps your audience engage with your artwork more deeply.
Welcome to Espacio Gallery. This guide gives you clear and practical steps for using our professional hanging system. It helps you display your artworks safely and beautifully while keeping the gallery walls well cared for.
We provide nylon cords or steel cables and adjustable hooks. If you need a hand during installation, just ask and we will gladly guide you.
The STAS hanging system lets you move your artwork easily along the rail and cord. You can adjust height and spacing without damaging the walls. Slide the hooks gently until your work sits exactly where you want it.
This is one of the two cord options available at Espacio Gallery. The transparent finish blends naturally into the wall, keeping attention on your artwork.
Insert the Cobra head into the top rail, let it drop, then slide it to your chosen position.
This is the second cord option at Espacio Gallery. It is stronger and more visible than nylon, ideal when you are hanging heavier works.
Use only with the STAS J rail max system. Slide the rod in from the side. It does not hook in from below.
Please do not cut the gallery nylon or steel cords. Keeping cords intact protects the system and helps us reuse materials for future exhibitions.
Thank you for helping us keep the system safe, clean and reusable.
