Hi Gary,
Good points, but surely it would be best that labels are in uncontracted (Grade
1) braille?
Second, braille in bottles does requires that the moulding tool used to create
the bottles has been added. Clearly this is best done at the initial tooling
stage.
Embossing on to cartons is a decidedly tricky matter, and I know has been
looked at.

Subject: [access-uk] Something that's really puzzling me!
Hi all.
First off moderaters, I hope this is allowed on here, if not I do appologise.
Something is really puzzling me and I don't know if many people have
noticed this who are blind.
Have you ever noticed when you or someone you know goes to the
supermarket, if they pick up a bottle of bleach, any bottle no specific
brand required.
If you feel towards the bottom of the bottle, you'll notice it says that
in contracted Braille! Bleach I mean.
Well what's really puzzling me is if they can do this with Bleach and
vertually all medication these days, what's stopping companies from
doing this with Milk, Yoghurts and stuff like that!
I mean take one of my bottles of Bleach I've got at the moment, the
Braille at the bottom is really raised up clearly!
So obviously they are using some kind of ingraiving tool to somehow
ingraive this onto the bottle.
Anyway just an observation.
When I mentioned the Milk and things like that, I'm refurring to the date.
