Make your brand Known by Touch
One of the few print shops that presses real braille into full-color custom labels, from small runs to large orders. Not a clear sticker on top. The braille is pressed into your printed label. No enterprise minimums. We build a die to match each stock's thickness. The same service is available on paper, cardstock, tape and stickers. You approve a Ship-Ready Proof before anything is pressed. The braille add-on is priced per order.

A label every customer can find
Look-alike bottles. Matching jars. A row of spices that only print can tell apart. For a customer who reads braille, a print-only label says nothing. A short braille line changes that. The product name, the scent or the flavor, raised right on the label, lets every customer find your product and know it on their own.
Why this is personal
For our family, this is personal. Our daughter Finley was born blind, and she inspired our nonprofit, fearlessHOPE.
We believe every product label should have braille embossing, so brands can be known by touch. Accessibility is for everyone.
Braille product labels for small runs and large orders, and more

The same braille embossing is available on paper and cardstock, tape and stickers, including business cards, hang tags, door hangers, menus, postcards and invitations. We build a die to match each stock's thickness. The braille add-on is priced per order.

How it works
Choose a paper, label, sticker or tape product, or request a quote. Tell us what the braille should say, usually the product name and variant. No design yet? Use Design Help.
We transcribe and check. We set your text in Unified English Braille. Every braille line is checked by our Chief Accessibility Officer.
You approve a Ship-Ready Proof. Nothing is pressed until you say so.
We press the braille. Real UEB braille, pressed in. Every braille line is checked by our Chief Accessibility Officer. Then your order ships.
Proof first: Ship-Ready Proof
You review a Ship-Ready Proof of the print and the braille layout before anything is pressed. Nothing prints until you approve.
Keep it short and clear
Braille takes more room than print, so a short line works best: the product name, plus the scent, flavor or strength if it fits. We'll show you how much fits on your label size on the proof.
Braille that belongs in your design
- Place it on a flat, open area. Keep it away from seams, tight curves and folds.
- Make the print and the braille match. Your braille line says the same thing as the print beside it.
- Give the dots room. Clear space around the braille keeps it easy to find and read.
- Let the stock do the work. Dots are embossed in your label's own stock, so they look clean and intended.
Questions about braille embossing
Which products and stocks can you braille?
Our most popular use is product labels, in small runs or large orders. The same braille embossing is available on paper and cardstock, tape and stickers. We build a die to match each stock's thickness. The braille add-on is priced per order. Request a quote if you have another format in mind.
How much text fits in braille?
It depends on your label size. Braille cells are a fixed size, so a short line, like a product name and variant, works best. We'll confirm the fit on your proof.
Do you proof the braille?
Yes. Real UEB braille. Every braille line is checked by our Chief Accessibility Officer, and you approve the proof first.
Can I send my own braille?
Yes, send us your braille or your print text. We still set it as real UEB braille. Every braille line is checked by our Chief Accessibility Officer before anything prints.
Can you put my logo in braille?
Braille is text, not a picture, so we can braille your brand name but not your logo artwork.
Does braille on my label meet a legal or regulatory requirement?
We don't make legal or regulatory claims. If your product has labeling rules, please check them with your own advisor.
Will the braille change my design?
We place the braille as part of your design, in your label's own stock, and show you exactly where it goes on the proof.
How do I start?
Shop labels, or paper, cardstock, tape and stickers. The braille add-on is priced per order. Request a quote, or use Design Help if you'd like us to set up your design.
Let every customer find you.
Braille on product labels, and on paper, cardstock, tape and stickers, for brands that want to be known by touch.
Layout preview: 3.5 × 2 in card
Type a phrase in words. The preview, cell count, and line-split message update as you type, paste, clear, or change the placement or side. Use one line when it fits; press Enter to choose your own break. If a single line is too long for a 3.5 in card, we split it at a space and say so. This layout demonstration is not approval of a particular stock, finish, or production route, and it is not a Ship-Ready Proof.
Leave the field empty to see the example phrase. Press Enter for your own line break. Up to 12 braille cells fit on each line of a 3.5 in card.
Braille is pressed in a fixed two-line strip, so you choose a set spot, not a free drag. The bottom band keeps your name and logo clear in the top half. One line or two can sit in that strip.
The other side shows small dimples where the dots are pressed through.
