Braille Business Cards
Accessible Information Solutions has developed a simple and cost effective technique to produce personalised Braille Business Cards. Taking the uncut stock from the printer, Accessible Information Solutions will emboss your name and telephone number on a standard business card, send it back to the printer for cutting who delivers your embossed business cards in a matter of days. At $0.20 per card, this is a cost effective, simple and very visible expression of commitment to accessibility.
Following are details to consider when preparing your Business Cards for Brailling.
Stock Specifications
- 8 up or greater printing preferred
- Sheet sizes of 197 x 297mm (A4) with cards printed in a portrait style is preferred as we can then use a range of embossers. Sheets smaller than this are acceptable.
- Maximum sheet size of 297 x 500, with the Braille oriented at landscape, i.e. running along the longest direction of the page.
Stock Type
- Stock should be uncoated, as coated stock may crack with embossing
- Stock 300gsm or smaller delivers the best Braille resolution, stock over this will deliver readable Braille, however the resolution is not as great i.e. Braille not as high.
