FAQs About Custom Murals and Events

This depends on several factors: your attendance, how many days you'll use it, whether you have plenty of activities for your crowd or just a few, and if the mural would be in a high-traffic area for everyone or in a low-traffic area just for kids. Also remember that with a single-use tarp, size is important for usable square footage, where with a wipeable/reusable mural, you can get away with smaller and just wipe more often.

In general, for Single-Use Tarps, consider a 12x6 if your attendance is 5,000-15,000, and a 20x6 if it’s more than 15,000. 

For any size event, especially larger events, consider NOT putting a single-use tarp in a high traffic area for everyone. Too much participation can fill a mural within a few hours.

For wipeable tarps, our 16x5 is by far our most common size. Only consider a 20x5 if you have a really large event, or want to have a larger visual. And consider a 12x5 for smaller events.

Single-Use Tarps are a lighter weight material, so the larger size is easy to work with and works well with the stand. Plus, the square footage only gets colored once, so you want as much as you can get.

The Rollable Wipeable is heavier than the Single Use Tarp, so we make them 5’ tall to better work with the light-weight stand. Plus, for both Rollable and Rigid Wipeable, the square footage can just be wiped and reused, so you don’t need as much.

The Rollable Wipeable Plastic has glue/adhesive joints, which is how we can give it to you in one piece like a regular banner. However, know that these joints will not last forever. We recommend storing the mural rolled ‘big’ (so you can barely get your arms around it), in an area that’s somewhat climate controlled. With proper storage, and with care while being set up and used, most clients get at least three years of use—four annual events—but many clients get more.

The Rigid Wipeable Plastic comes in sections, so it does not have the adhesive joints. Most clients have gotten four or five years or use, but many have gotten more.

Both Wipeable options need to be wiped off within a day or two of coloring, to avoid staining.

If you have an ongoing usage, like a theme park or amusement area, we’ve had clients color and wipe the mural every day for nearly 700 days.

Yes, discounts are available if you order more than one mural. Discount amount depends on complexity of initial customization, and whether each additional mural is the same design or not. When submitting a  Request For Quote, there will be a place to describe your situation and request.
