Wall murals · commercial, office and school wall graphics

Custom wall murals for offices, schools and business.

A commercial wall mural is a large printed graphic installed on an interior wall: photography, pattern, brand or a message, sized to the wall. Epic designs it with you, prints it on 3M media at VisuFlare, our sister large-format studio in McKinney, and installs it with Epic crews nationwide. Interior murals on 3M media come off without wall damage when it is time to change.

What is a commercial wall mural?

A commercial wall mural is large-format print applied to a wall the way a wall covering is. It reads as a single image from across the room, and the color and detail are the same edge to edge.

Murals, wall wraps and wall graphics are one family of work. A mural or wall wrap covers the wall edge to edge. Wall graphics also include the smaller pieces: logos, lettering, records boards and wayfinding. When the wall itself needs a new surface, wood, stone or metal, that is 3M DI-NOC; for a paste-hung finish, see wall coverings. All of it is part of Environmental Graphics, alongside window and floor graphics.

Where wall murals go

Lobbies, classrooms, gyms, break rooms, corridors.

Office wall murals

Reception walls, break rooms, conference rooms and the long corridor nobody notices. Mission, history, product, city skyline or pure pattern, on the walls your people see every day.

School wall murals

Mascots, school colors, records walls, reading corners and cafeteria walls. Printed graphics on 3M media, rated for years of service, instead of banners that curl.

Gyms & athletics

Championship walls, locker rooms, weight rooms and concourses. Full-wall graphics sized to the real wall, with the mascot and the names spelled right.

Retail & hospitality

Feature walls behind the counter, lobby statements, elevator lobbies and back-of-house rooms that guests walk past. Photo murals and brand walls that change when the campaign does.

Healthcare

Waiting rooms, pediatric corridors and staff rooms. Calm photography, nature scenes and wayfinding color on the walls patients and staff look at all day.

Public sector

Department seals, mottos and history walls for public buildings, like the sheriff’s office break room shown on this page.

Who prints and installs large format wall graphics?

Epic does, from file to finished wall. Murals are printed in-house at VisuFlare on 3M media, color-proofed against your brand standards, and installed by the same certified crews that install Epic’s window film.

One vendor means one schedule: no handoff between a print shop, a sign installer and a separate film contractor, and one team accountable for every seam and color. When a job also needs glass graphics, frosted privacy or 3M DI-NOC on the doors, the same crew does the whole elevation.

Wall coverings are rendered in perspective onto the wall in each scene, in true inches, and lit by the room’s own light; doors, artwork and furniture stay as they are. This is a simulation — patterns, colors and your brand name are placeholders for design — Epic’s designers and VisuFlare, our in-house print studio, produce the finished artwork and proofs on your actual elevations.

FAQ

Wall mural questions

What is a commercial wall mural?
A large printed graphic installed on an interior wall of a business, school or public building: photography, illustration, pattern, a logo or a message, sized to the wall. Commercial murals are printed on wall media and applied like a wall covering, so they look the same edge to edge and can come down when it is time to change.
What is the difference between a wall mural, a wall wrap and wall graphics?
Mostly who is talking. Designers say mural or printed wall covering, sign shops say wall wrap, and facility teams say wall graphics. All three are large-format printed graphics on a wall. Wall graphics also covers smaller pieces such as logos, lettering, wayfinding and records boards. Epic designs, prints and installs all of them.
Can you design the mural, or do we need artwork?
Either works. Send finished artwork from your agency or brand team and Epic prepresses, proofs and installs it. Or bring a logo, a few photos and a brief, and Epic builds the design with you from measured elevations of your walls, with a rendering on your own photos before anything prints.
Where are Epic’s wall murals printed?
At VisuFlare, Epic’s sister large-format print studio next door to Epic headquarters in McKinney, Texas. Murals are printed on 3M media, proofed against your brand colors and installed by Epic crews, so design, print and install stay with one vendor on one schedule.
Will a printed mural stick to our block, brick or textured wall?
In most buildings, yes. The wall decides the media: 3M makes mural media for smooth drywall, lightly textured walls, block and brick. Before quoting a mural, Epic applies a test piece to your actual wall to confirm the media holds.
Are wall murals removable?
Interior graphics on 3M media come off without wall damage when it is time to change, which is why offices, schools and retailers use printed murals instead of paint for walls that will be refreshed.
What if we need a new wall surface, not a mural?
For paste-hung commercial wallcovering, see wall coverings. To refinish walls, doors, columns or elevator cabs in wood, stone or metal, see 3M DI-NOC.
What drives the price of a custom wall mural?
Four things: the size of the wall, the 3M media the surface needs, how much prep the wall needs first, and whether Epic designs the artwork or your team supplies it. After-hours installs and lifts for tall walls add to it. Epic quotes a firm price after the site survey; the cost guide explains the drivers.
Can a wall mural go in a school gym?
Yes. Championship walls, locker rooms, weight rooms and concourses get full-wall graphics sized to the real wall, with the mascot and the names spelled right.
Is a printed wall mural better than a painted one?
For most businesses, a printed mural is the more practical choice: it looks the same edge to edge, and interior murals on 3M media come off without wall damage when it is time to change. A painted mural is permanent until it is painted over.
Can a wall mural tell our company history or mission?
Yes. Mission statements, history timelines, products and city skylines are common office murals, designed with you from measured walls and rendered on photos of your space before anything prints.
