Thick Gator Board: How to hang flush?

Hi All,

I have been doing a lot of prints mounted to 1/2"+ Gator.
Some clients request it with double stick tape. I don't like this just because of the potential for wall damage.
And many request them done with a french cleat. That works, but again, there is wall damage when you have to screw in the other side of the cleat. I would like to be able to just pop in a brad, hang the print and call it a day.
Any tips on how to pull this off (besides just smashing the gator on to the brad)?
Or any other tricks to get it to hang "near" flush?
I have seen the self adhesive hangers but I feel like one warm summer day a large print will find its way to the floor.
