Hi Alison,
It’s not that clear labels suitable for embossing are not available at all.
For example, in the pharmaceutical industry, those known as “parallel
importers” very often use clear self-adhesive labels to add the mandatory
braille on medicinal packaging when they import from countries where it in not
law to do so.
What we might be able to do, provided there are some popular sizes, is to see
if we can “piggy-back” an existing order and get a small supply for re-sale.
However the $64,000 question is what size or sizes to look out for.

Yes i have a dymo gun but it’s fiddly to use and not wide enough for some
tasks. I can’t believe there is so little choice.

Hi Alison
Have you ever tried using a Braille Dymo gun? I still have mine and use it now
and then for odds and ends.
Kind regards,

I’m flabberghasted!
I rang RNIB this afternoon to order cd-sized self-adhesive labels, as I have
run out.
Not only don’t they sell these anymore, but they also don’t sell virtually any
others either. for example the long strips or the sheet of 4 or 6 labels. The
only self-adhesive labels they now sell are a Perkins-sized sheet.
I label my CDs, my herbs and a myriad of other things. Am I really going to
have to cut bits off Perkins-sized sheets in future?
Alison
