The braille to go on your label can be produced by using any of the methods outlined in the
writing and producing braille section.
The labels can be attached to bottles and boxes using adhesive putty (for instance, Blu-Tack) or elastic bands. They can also be attached to clothes pegs and clipped to items of clothing.
Self-adhesive tape
You can produce braille on self adhesive-tape.
Dymo tape can be used with hand frames and the Braille king. It can also be used with a Perkins brailler that has been fitted with a
Dymo adapter.
For people with no knowledge of braille the
braille labeller is the best option. It is an easy to use hand held labelling machine.
Other braille labels
As well as self adhesive tape RNIB stock a range of other self-adhesive and labelling material:
Plastic
tie on labels with one hole and
tie on labels with two holes can be embossed directly and are excellent for use in the freezer and in the garden.
Magnetic labelling sheets are perfect for fixing braille labels to flat metal surfaces and
magnetic rubber strips work well on curved surfaces such as cans of food.
We have
CD sized braille paper that sits perfectly inside the crystal CD case. We also have
CD labels that can be embossed and stuck to the front of a CD case without obscuring the artwork beneath.
We have a range of clear self adhesive labels, which are especially suitable for consumables such as food (including frozen food) and toiletries.
You can also buy more sturdy
clear plastic self adhesive sheets for items with a longer life.
