Metal "Thinwrap" print ?'s
![Wiren](https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/uploads/userpics/627/nP2WIW2NYRQ4H.jpg)
I am trying to make a sale to a Physician office that has been bemoaning the cost of framing - stating that they have to wait a while to budget the cost of the 30 or so shots they want to order from me due to the high cost of framing.
I showed them a sample of an 8x12 Metal thinwrap, explained that costwise they would save 40% and more depending upon the framing they were considering. Also stated that it was lighter weight, durable and not so fragile for the kids in the office that choose to push up on the bottom of the frames endangering them with broken glass, etc, etc, etc.
They seemed to like them but were wondering about the durability of the foam pad between the metal print and metal mount. They seemed worried that the adhesive after some time would go bad and that the metal print would fall off. Has this ever happened, I imagine the epoxy is extra strong and the pad seems fairly dense so I cannot imagine this happening, any thoughts, comments out there?
This would be a nice sale as they are wanting to order about 2 dozen 20x30's and a couple dozen 16x20's for their 3 physician office that they need to totally redecorate.
Thanks for the response.

If for some reason they ordered one and the unthinkable happens and the backing becomes separated from the foam, is there any way (other than hot glue gunning it) to get this fixed from the print shop, just want to have an answer ready for their concern of "what if". Does the print shop warrenty the construction for a length of time?
Thanks again, and happy holidays to you.

From Wirin's other thread on this, he is talking about selling Metal Prints, not Thin Wraps, so there is no foam involved, correct?

Sorry I wasn't specific there Jon, yes, it's that foam I was talking about. I don't really think I will do much with the "thin wraps" as the metal is more durable and man, do they look awesome! Very bright and the colors pop!
Take care all.
