Default Metal Prints

so I've been seeing alot on metal prints lately but what I want to know, is how to display them? Dont like the idea of hanging them on a chain but how else is there? Ideas?

The ones I've seen from Bay Photo have a backing / spacer plate on the back -- the hanging hardware is mounted to that, I believe. I haven't popped for one of these yet, but it's on my list to try. Looks like a really cool option.

perhaps float mount them on something sturdy , then hang like you would any other piecethat looks nice.. or a standout mount would work as well..

Or, if you want to go cheap, get some of the 3M Command pictures hangers. Theyre really neat. They work like Velcro but theyre not. idk how heavy metal prints are. Or, you could use wire like those lil decorative plaques that they make, where they curl the wire a few times, string on a few beads etc. idk,...just an idea.
