Hello everyone. Does the print go above the braille or below it? Thanks so
much.

Arletta is right.  You'd first print the cards and then emboss them.  If
your embosser can't emboss directly on heavy card stock you could emboss on
sheets of clear labels and then stick the labels on the cards.

Kathy,

I haven't done this, but from what I read, you want to print first. Putting
the brailled cardstock through your printer (whether its cardstock or the
perforated business card stock) will flatten the braille, won't it?

Frank,

 

thank you for this, so the braille  should be done first then the print is
that correct or not?

Hello Kathy:

 

A standard size business card can hold five lines of Braille with 14 cells
in each line, so, assuming that you separate each Braille card image by a
blank line and also include a blank line at the top of the page, you could
layout two columns with four card images per column to emboss on a 8.5 by 11
inch sheet of pre-printed card stock.  Hopefully, others on this list who
have actually produced Braille business cards can give you more specific
instructions.

 

Best wishes,

Frank Welte
