Braille Labels on Product Packaging: A Guide to Accessible Products
More and more companies—from food and cosmetics to pharmaceuticals and restaurants—are choosing to add Braille labels to their products. This practice does not significantly increase production costs, but it makes a real difference in the experience of a visually impaired consumer.
Why Add Braille Labels
Standalone use of the product: A consumer with visual impairments can identify the product, its composition, or its use without needing assistance from a third party.
Safety: Especially with pharmaceutical products or products that come with instructions for use, proper identification can prevent errors.
Market Diversification: Few companies still offer this option, so it is a strong differentiator and a sign of corporate responsibility.
To which products is it most commonly applied?
- Food and Beverage Packaging
- Cosmetics and personal care products
- Pharmaceutical and over-the-counter products
- Custom packaging made of paper or PVC
How is the Braille label incorporated into the packaging?
The label can be designed as a separate sticker applied to the packaging, or integrated directly into the packaging design, depending on the material and production volume. In either case, the following is required:
- Accurate translation of the text (name, brief description, expiration date where applicable) into Braille
- Choose a location that is not obstructed by other parts of the packaging
- Use of material that preserves the embossed dots during transport and storage
