Our murals bring so many things to your event site. Invite your attendees to immerse themselves together in a life-size coloring experience.
It’s a warm-and-fuzzy, eye-catching way for event sponsors to ‘activate’ their sponsorship, to amplify your event theme, and add a high throughput activity to you event.
Our Single Use Tarp works well for a one or two-day festival, or a low-volume, long-term activity like a summer camp. Use kids paint or kids markers on this vinyl-paper hybrid material, and a sponsor can display it (indoors) afterwards to show their community support!
The Single Use Tarp comes to you sewn into one piece, with grommets on the top and bottom like a regular banner. You can mount on a wall, or you can rent or buy one of our freestanding mural stands to put it anywhere on your event site.

Mural pricing depends on three things: mural type, customization level and size.
Click into the Mural Types pages to see which mural type will work best for your situation, and note the price differences for the customization and size options. Also note that stand purchase/rental, markers/paint and shipping are not included in the mural prices.
Single-Use Tarps are a paper-vinyl hybrid, strong enough to sew and grommet and hang on a stand, but not as strong as banner vinyl. They work with kids paint or kids markers, and do not wipe off. These are great for large one or two-day events, or small ongoing programs (like a camp series) where you’d finish a mural over an extended time. They’re good for hanging for display afterwards in an indoor location.
Rollable Wipeable Plastic murals come in one-piece, like a regular banner, but are not as pliable as vinyl. They can be rolled but not folded, so the roll up into a 5’ roll. They work with Crayola Brand Markers or Crayola Brand Wipeable Paint, and both wipe off with water and sponge or paper towels. These are great when you need an activity at many events in different locations. They work well with our Mural Stand, which gives you the flexibility to put a mural anywhere on your event site.
The Rigid Wipeable Plastic comes to you on a pallet in four-foot wide sections. It needs to mount to a solid wall, fence or side of a building, so they work well when you have long events, ongoing traffic, or several events in the same location. They work with Crayola Brand Markers or Crayola Brand Wipeable Paint, and both wipe off with water and sponge or paper towels.
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 significantly heavier than the Single Use Tarp, so we make them 5’ tall to better work with the stand. Plus, for both Rollable and Rigid Wipeable, the square footage can just be wiped and reused, so you don’t need as much.
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.
We have hundreds of designs available. Click into the “Designs” at the top of the page, and then choose a design category. You can also enter tags for specific items (i.e. 'cows' or 'roller coaster'), but not that designs many not have every specific thing listed in the tags. You can filter to just our goofy/cartoony designs or life-like human designs.
Note that in most cases, the Design Search page defaults to show Wall Size designs.
If you come to the Design Search from the Table Size Sheets page, the default is to show Table Size designs.
You have the option to switch back and forth between Wall Size and Table Size designs.
For Single Use Tarps, there are two customization options. There’s a lower “Stock Design” price point where we’ll add a headline text and full color logos in the upper corner(s). Then a higher price point where we’ll add a headline, logos worked into the design on signboards, AND some swapping of characters from other designs into your design.
For the Rollable and Rigid Wipeable, this swapping is available for the listed price.
Yes, we can include full color logos in your design for all product customization options except “Uncustomized Table Sheets”.
For Single Use Tarps, at the lower “Stock Design” price point we’ll add a headline text and full color logos in the upper corner(s). Then at the higher price point we’ll add a headline, logos worked into the design on signboards, and some swapping of characters from other designs into your design.
Please send full color “vector” files to info@monstermural.com.
EPS files usually have vector info. PDFs sometimes do. Send either or both of these and we’ll test them and let you know if they work.
If you don’t have EPS or PDF files, send the largest filesize you have for one of the pixel formats—JPG, PNG, etc.
In theory, yes we can put your mascot into the design. Mascot graphic must be provided in a vector format, and must be in a pose that makes sense to fit into one of our existing designs.
Single Use Tarps work well with kids paint or kids markers, but NOT with crayons, and NOT with Sharpies.
For Rollable Wipeable and Rigid Wipeable, ONLY USE Crayola Brand Washable Markers or Crayola Brand Washable Paint. Other brands either don’t stick at all, or have some colors that stain. DO NOT use dry erase markers, as they don’t come off.
Single Use Tarps are grommeted like a regular banner, except grommets are purposely only along the top and bottom. Use zip ties (provided) to attach to a stand or fence.
DO NOT pull the zip ties tight, as the Single Use material is not as strong as vinyl. DO NOT leave it out in the wind, either during the day or especially unattended overnight. CLICK HERE for a PDF of the Single Use Tarp instruction poster.
Rollable Wipeable Murals are similar to the Single Use Tarp and should be treated similarly. CLICK HERE for a PDF of the Rollable Wipeable instruction poster.
Rigid Wipeable Murals come in 4’x5’ thick sections, on material that is 1/8” thick. Sections must be screwed to a flat wall, solid fence, or side of a building.
Since we don’t know where you’d need the screws, we leave it to you to drill holes for the screws. DO NOT screw directly through the material without drilling holes in the material first. Make sure the drilled holes are larger than the screws. Instructions are provided with the mural or CLICK HERE for a PDF of the Rigid Wipeable instruction poster.
If you have a Single Use Tarp, and you’d like a neatly colored mural to display afterwards, follow the instructions and use at least four seasoned adult volunteers, rope off the area to control usage, and sternly negotiate with parents of toddlers on limiting and controlling their involvement.
If you have a Single Use Tarp, and aren’t concerned about neatness, you should still have several seasoned volunteers, control access to the area, and negotiate to a point with parents of toddlers.
If you have a Wipeable Mural, try to have at least two seasoned volunteers to monitor the area, and watch for someone using their own permanent marker. However, we've heard that most fairs don’t assign staffers specifically to the mural area—they only have a staffer in the general area to check on it every so often.
If you are open into the evening—and you have a more rowdy crowd—consider closing the mural before the evening session to avoid graffiti or vandalism.
Depending on mural size and number of participants, a mural could take anywhere from a few hours to all day to color.
You can fit as many mural participants as can fit shoulder to shoulder. Depending on the mix of shorter kids to taller teens/adults, you can possibly fit 30 people at a time.
Yes, you can use a mural indoors. Our Mural Stand actually works better indoors, as it will stand on it’s own without needing to use the straps to tie it down to the ground stakes.
Single Use Tarps are our easiest product for displaying after an event. The Single Use Tarps are made of a paper/vinyl hybrid material—strong enough to sew into one piece and grommet, but not as strong as vinyl—so you should only display it in an indoor area, out of wind and rain.
Stand Rental is $250 in the continental US. This includes both inbound shipping and return shipping.
Rental is available to Canada for an additional amount. Please email info@monstermural.com for a quote.
The Rental Stand will work with either 12’, 16’ or 20’ mural widths.
Stand Purchase is available for $750 for a 12’ wide stand, $850 for a 16’ wide stand, and $900 for a 20’ wide stand.
Stand is made of high quality light-weight components similar to a nice speaker stand. It’s modular, so you can make it work with several widths and heights, so you could use the stand for other situations. It also comes with a very nice custom-made padded carrying/shipping bag.
An instruction poster will be provided with the stand, but here are links to PDFs:
The stand accommodates murals—or other signage—of 4’, 8’, 12’, 16’ and 20’ widths. The top and bottom crossbars come in 4’ sections, so you can’t make it other widths in between.
The upright parts of the stand are telescoping, so it can accommodate any height between 4' and 6'.
The stand you buy will be etched with a mark for either a 5’ or 6’ height, depending on what mural height you buy.
Depending on width, the stand itself weighs about 25 pounds. When the stand is set up, two people—one on each end—can easily lift the stand with one hand and walk it to a new spot.
It also comes with ground stakes, heavy-duty straps and a carrying bag, so it's a 48 pound shipping/carrying weight for the bag with everything for a 20' stand. Shipping/carrying weight for a 16’ wide stand is 42 pounds. Shipping/carrying weight for a 12’ wide stand is 35 pounds.
Stands are usually shipped UPS Ground. Stands come in a very nice, custom-made padded carrying/shipping bag. The bag is 13”x13”x56” for any size stand. The bag weighs 35, 42 or 48 pounds, depending on whether you order a 12’, 16’ or 20’ width stand.
Mural Stands must be secured to four ground stakes, from two tie points on each end of the mural—using a total of eight of the provided heavy-duty straps. Sand bags must NOT be used on the feet as a substitute.
An instruction poster will be provided, but here are links to PDFs:
The Mural Stand works well indoors. The large feet easily hold the mural in place. If the indoor area is completely secluded from the wind, the included straps are not required.
When your event is over, we send UPS to your office—or whatever address we shipped to—to pick up the stand. UPS will come with the necessary label.
Please allow this process to take place. Please don’t ship it on your own. And please don’t hand it to a UPS driver and say “send it back”, as this may lead to the loss of a stand.
Yes, you need event insurance for us to rent your organization a stand, and you must provide a certificate showing coverage. If you self insure, we need a letter stating the situation and the organization involved.
This is the reverse of some vendor relationships, where events require insurance of vendors. We reverse it because we’re not on-site. We’re loaning you our equipment, and you’re responsible for setting it up and monitoring it according to the instructions and guidelines.
Yes, replacement parts are available, and most individual parts are inexpensive. Please take a picture of the affected part and email the photo and a description of the issue to info@monstermural.com.
Murals and stands are usually shipped by UPS Ground, except for Table Size Sheets to Canada, and Rigid Wipeable murals.
Single Use Tarps ship in a 36”x8”x8” box. Rollable Wipeable Plastic murals ship in a 64” long tube that’s 10” in diameter. Mural Stands ship in their own 13”x13”x56” carrying bag.
Table Size Sheets will be boxed together and shipped by UPS. Each sheet is rolled separately in 2” diameter / 24” long rolls—similar to a roll of wrapping paper—and bagged in its own plastic for ease or storage and transport.
Rigid Wipeable Plastic murals need to ship by freight. See the next FAQ for more info.
Single Use Tarps, Rollable Wipeable Murals and Stands ship to Canada by UPS Ground. We encourage you to use UPS as a customs broker when offered, as this will be cheaper than engaging your own customs broker.
Rigid Wipeable Plastic ships by freight, which is expensive to freight across the border, plus it requires you to engage your own customs broker.
Table Size Sheets ship by Priority Mail. We do this because the postal service doesn't require a customs broker or brokerage fee.
Note that The Monster Mural does not collect Canadian taxes, so either UPS, the post office, or your customs broker will collect those.
We can likely ship most of our products to international destinations outside of the continental US and Canada. Please email info@monstermural.com to discuss options.
However, we only offer stand rental to the continental US and Canada.
Yes, we can ship to an international military base. Most of our products can ship through the postal service to an APO/FPO address, but some situations work better through other carriers, or by freight. Email info@monstermural.com to discuss options.
