babudust Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I'm curious how would you label your products for a blind person? This issue has been brought to my attention and I wondering if any one has encounter this. TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angielyn Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I have two cousins who are blind. I could ask her how it would make it any easier on her if you would like? If even possible. But, I would assume she'd just smell them and typically they always have a seeing person with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babudust Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 The lady I know lives by herself. I kind had a moment not knowing what to do for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angielyn Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 My cousins are both blind (married) and live alone as well. I think they adjust very well for the most part of the seeing world. Mine get on facebook which amazes me lol Other then smelling and braille, not really sure how else you could really help a blind person. I was thinking along the lines of a seeing person when buying them at a store or festival/fair etc. I will send my cousin a message on facebook and let you know what she says Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babudust Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Thank you. I figured braille but I guess I need a label maker or something. =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SliverOfWax Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 This is one of those times when you realize you can't accommodate everyone. I wouldn't even try. But that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Gosh, I think there is a braille typewriter type of machine out there. You could contact a school for the blind and find out. If nothing else, perhaps a small label in the back with one word would suffice.I think it's great that you would be thoughtful enough to consider making a label for the blind, even if it turns out to be fruitless. I teach all of my employees a simple sign, thank-you, for our deaf customers. They can see everything else, or you can write things down for them, but that one gesture really makes them light up.

angielyn Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 My cousin did send me a message back and she said Braille is about the only thing she can think of herself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JanetsCandles Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 There are some blind people who have learned how to read embossed lettering, you know, the kind that is slightly raised from the main surface. You could ask if she is able to do that, herself, and see about using embossed labels for her if nothing else. Also there are braille templates available online that you could easily use with a grid pattern for her. All you would need is cardstock and a decent ink pen to make the dots. Remember that they will read the raised side, though, so you will be doing the patterns backwards. I also believe microsoft has a braille template for Word or some such. A quick google search will bring all of those up for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bfly Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 If you decided to do braille, could you use like a fabric puff paint to make the dots? Jus a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babudust Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 Sounds like a good idea. I might have to take a trip to Michael's. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
