Wall wraps in Greater Seattle
Custom wall wraps and wall murals, printed in Snohomish and installed across Seattle
A wall wrap is a large printed graphic on adhesive wall film. It goes up in panels and covers a wall edge to edge with a logo, a photo, a pattern or a full brand story. A wall mural is the same idea built around one big image: a Seattle skyline, a mountain sunset, a historic street photo. Office wall graphics cover the rest of the building, from reception logos and core values to wayfinding and company timelines.
SeattleWallWraps.com is Ardor Printing's wall site. Ardor has been in business since 2012 and has completed more than 25,000 projects, including thousands of wall wraps. Every custom wall wrap is printed in our Snohomish shop, cut into panels on our own equipment and installed on-site by Ardor's own crew. Wall installs carry a 1-year installation warranty. We work across Snohomish and King counties, from Everett and Lynnwood to Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond and Renton.
Our walls go up in offices and lobbies, churches, schools, gyms and studios, restaurants and breweries, retail showrooms, warehouses and museums. That might be a brand wall behind reception, a mission wall in a church hallway, a mural guests stop to photograph or an exhibit that changes with the next show. See ideas for each kind of room on our wall wraps for business page, or plan a whole floor with our office wall graphics guide.
We don't publish a price per wall, because size, surface, film and access all move the number. Every wall is quoted after a free on-site measure, and our wall wrap cost guide explains each factor. New to wall film? The Wall Academy covers surfaces, adhesives, laminates and fire ratings in short, sourced lessons. Working with glass? See window films. Curious how wood, stone and metal finish films reface doors and walls? Start with architectural films.
Every wall wrap project runs in four steps:
- Free on-site estimate. Send photos or book a visit. We measure every wall, check the paint and texture, and look at access.
- Design and proof. Our in-house designers build the art to your wall size and show it on a photo of your actual wall. Design is quoted separately.
- Print and cut. We print on 54-inch wall film in our Snohomish shop and cut every panel before it leaves.
- Install. Our crew puts the wall up panel by panel. A single wall usually takes one day, and we can install after hours.

Wall Academy
Know your wall before you wrap it
Six short lessons on how wall graphics are made, what they stick to and what the codes say. Every fact links back to a manufacturer, code or published source.
ProcessModule 01
How wall film is printed and installed
Five layers, one wall: overlaminate, ink, printable film, adhesive and your wall. See how each layer is chosen, printed, cut into panels and squeegeed on.
SurfacesModule 02
Wall surfaces
Painted drywall, brick, block, concrete, glass and wood each need different prep. 3M says new concrete must cure six to 12 months, or be sealed, before film goes on.
AdhesivesModule 03
Removable vs permanent
Removable adhesive peels cleaner, but Avery does not warrant against wall damage on removal, even with removable film. Learn which one fits your lease.
FinishesModule 04
Laminates
Matte, luster, gloss, dry-erase and anti-graffiti. Some textured films, like Avery's canvas and stucco lines, should not be laminated at all.
CodesModule 05
Fire ratings and low-VOC printing
Seattle's building code sets the interior finish class by occupancy and sprinklers. Class A means a flame spread index of 0 to 25 under ASTM E84.
HistoryModule 06
History of murals
From cave walls to frescoes to wall dogs to printed film. Seattle's own 1962 Seattle Mural at Seattle Center is built from Venetian glass tiles.
Layer stack
What's inside a wall wrap
A printed wall graphic is a stack of layers, top to bottom. Each one has a job.
Layers, top to bottom
Layer 1 of 5 · Thin clear film
Overlaminate
Protects the print and sets the sheen
Matte, luster or gloss. Specialty laminates add dry-erase or anti-graffiti protection.
Fact Avery's DOL 3060, 3070 and 3080 laminates come in gloss, luster and matte (Avery data sheet).
Layer 2 of 5 · Thinnest layer
Ink
The image
Latex, eco-solvent and UV inks all print wall film. In occupied rooms, ink choice affects odor and how soon the print can go up.
Fact HP says its Latex prints need no wait before lamination or install. ORAFOL says solvent prints should dry at least 24 hours.
Layer 3 of 5 · Thickest layer
Printable wall film
The sheet the ink sits on
Smooth-wall film, textured film for block and stucco, or textured-look films with a canvas or stone face.
Fact Avery rates its MPI 2610 and 2611 wall films for up to 3 years printed indoors (Avery data sheet, not a warranty).
Layer 4 of 5 · Thin layer
Adhesive
How it sticks, and how it leaves
Removable or permanent. Removable peels cleaner. No maker guarantees zero paint damage.
Fact Avery MPI 2611 removable: 1.5 lb/in peel at 24 hours. MPI 2610 permanent: 4.0 lb/in (on stainless steel).
Layer 5 of 5 · Your wall
Wall surface
The foundation
Smooth, cured semi-gloss paint is ideal. Flat, satin, scrubbable and low-VOC paints can fight adhesion.
Fact Avery: let the final coat dry at least 7 days. Some paints take months to fully cure.
Thickness labels are relative. Quoted values come from the named manufacturers' data sheets. We match the film to your wall at the on-site measure.
Architectural films
Reface it instead of replacing it
Architectural finish films like 3M DI-NOC are thick, embossed, self-adhesive films that make doors, columns, cabinets and walls read as wood, stone or metal. 3M lists more than 900 designs on its U.S. page. Standard DI-NOC is rated for interior use, with an expected indoor life of 12 years per 3M (typical, not warranted).

Size estimator
Size up your wall
Enter a wall's width and height to see the square footage and how many printed panels it takes. This tool shows size. Price comes after a free on-site measure.
Open the full estimator and cost guide · What is a branded wall worth?
Estimate only. Final price depends on the wall, film, design and access. Free quote.
How we estimate
Wall film prints on 54-inch rolls, so a wall is split into vertical panels that overlap slightly at each seam. Square footage drives most of the price. Surface, film, design and access adjust it.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is a wall wrap?
A wall wrap is a large printed graphic on adhesive wall film, installed in panels so it covers a wall edge to edge. It can be a logo, a photo mural, a pattern or a full brand story.
Will a wall wrap damage my paint?
It can when it comes off. Removable films peel cleaner, but Avery says removal isn't guaranteed on wallboard with weak or aged paint, and it doesn't warrant against wall damage. We check your paint at the on-site measure and tell you the risk up front.
How long does a wall wrap last indoors?
It depends on the film. Avery rates its MPI 2610 and 2611 wall films for up to 3 years printed indoors, and 3M gives its IJ8624 textured-wall film an expected indoor life of 2 years. Neither is a warranty. Ardor's own wall guide says indoor wall wraps often last five years or more.
Can you wrap brick, block or textured walls?
Often, yes. Block, brick and textured paint need a conformable textured-wall film applied with heat, and very deep grout lines need the art cut into segments. Heavy knockdown texture may need a skim coat first (industry rule of thumb).
How long does installation take?
A single wall usually installs in one day. Larger multi-wall, floor or building projects take several days. We can install after hours so your space stays open.
How much does a wall wrap cost?
Most wall wraps are priced by the square foot, so size is the biggest factor. Surface, film, design and access adjust it. Every wall is quoted after a free on-site measure, and our cost guide shows what moves the number.
Do you install 3M DI-NOC architectural film?
Architectural film is a different product from a printed wall wrap, with its own prep and install rules. Ask us about architectural film refacing for your doors, walls or columns and we'll tell you plainly what fits your project.
Where do you work?
Our shop is in Snohomish, and we install across Snohomish and King counties, including Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Everett, Lynnwood, Bothell and Renton.
What's the difference between a wall wrap and a wall mural?
A wall mural is any large image on a wall, painted by hand or printed. A wall wrap is a printed graphic on adhesive film that covers a wall edge to edge. A printed wall mural goes up the same way as a wall wrap: one image split into panels, printed on wall film and installed on-site.
Should I choose removable or permanent wall film?
Removable film suits leased spaces and events. Permanent film suits walls you own and plan to keep. Avery's data sheet lists its removable wall film at 1.5 lb/in peel adhesion after 24 hours and its permanent film at 4.0 lb/in (tested on stainless steel). No maker guarantees zero paint damage, so we check your wall before you choose.
How do I start a wall wrap project?
Send a straight-on photo of each wall, a wide shot of the room and your logo or idea, or call (425) 629-0796. We set up a free on-site estimate, measure and check the surface, then send a written quote. Once you approve, a 50% deposit schedules printing and install.
