Are you referring to braille on the actual box itself, or labels applied on to
the box?
Be assured that if we were to do as I suggested, we would certainly test them
here before we sold them.

They are George, but sometimes the braille is quite faint and not particularly
easy to read.

Again, I should add that brailleable paper labels are also used in the
pharmaceutical industry where the ink-print first and emboss afterwards. The
labels are naturally of a thicker grade of paper.

Paper labels are useless for any long term labelling though, aren’t they, Anna?
When I was working, all my files were labelled and I also kept a card index
system with basic contact information which I used the foil CD labels for –
they were just the right size. And, because they were foil, if I had to contact
someone months or even years after the card was created, the braille was still
nice and sharp to read. A paper label would have been much less likely to
survive.

The only solution I can find is buying paper labels from a stationers, they
don’t last like the plastic ones did then. Annabel

I use the labels for all sorts of things, and can’t believe that this is the

have to cut down a Perkins-sized sheet to size every time I want a label, it
will be a real faff and very wasteful too.

I stopped selling them awhile ago Alison, I was very disgusted about it also
as are used to so many things. Annabel.

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?
