braille embossed on the box, and is quite proud. However, the box containing a
tube of antihystermine is very faint and another box of tablets has a braille
label and is virtually impossible to read. So it does seem to vary.
None of these are foil labels, which to my mind are the most robust.

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 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?
