10 Surprising Uses for Braille Labels in Everyday Life

Braille is a tactile writing system used by people who are blind or have low vision. By using raised dots it provides a means of communication and navigation for those who cannot read traditional print materials. Although you will find heavy duty, plastic braille signs in public places on areas like elevators, bathrooms, and doors, there are many important areas that need labeling where a fixed sign will not do. This is where a printable and stickable braille label comes into play. If you think about how you may navigate your day being low vision or blind, you would find hundreds of other uses for braille labels from the home to, school, to the office to a retail businesses. Here are the top 10 uses for braille labels for around the home, but can easily be applied to any space.

  1. Door Identification – Place braille labels on each door so that those with low vision or blindness can easily identify which room is which. This is especially helpful in homes where children may move rooms or families may adopt a pet.
  2. Appliance Control Panel – For appliances with digital control panels, use braille stickers to label each button and knob so that people can easily find what they need without assistance. This includes ovens, microwaves, washing machines and dryers, etc.
  3. Medicine Cabinet – Place braille labels on all medicine bottles and containers so that those with impaired vision know exactly what they are taking when reaching into the cabinet or drawer.
  4. Kitchen Pantry – Use braille labels on all food items to ensure everyone in the family knows what’s inside each container without having to ask someone else for help or rely solely on memory.
  5. Refrigerator Shelves – Label shelves inside refrigerator doors with braille stickers so that users can quickly find what they need without having to fumble around blindly (pun intended).
  6. Spice Rack Labeling – Label spice bottles with braille stickers so everyone in the family can quickly identify which spices they need while cooking dinner without asking someone else for help or relying solely on their sense of smell!
  7. Bathroom Sink & Shower Labeling – Place braille stickers on all bathroom faucets to make identifying hot and cold water easy for those with impaired vision or blindness as well as small children who may not recognize the difference between temperatures yet!
  8. Toilet Paper Holder Identification – Use a braille sticker label on toilet paper holders so users don’t have to guess which roll is full or empty every time they need one!
  9. Cabinet Labels – Place braille stickers near cabinets containing hazardous materials such as cleaners and detergents so no one accidentally grabs something dangerous while looking for something else!
  10. Emergency Exit Signs -Place emergency exit signs throughout your home (especially if you have stairs) using high contrast colors combined with tactile elements like braille printing so people with impaired vision will be able to find their way out in an emergency situation!

Whether you’re at home, at work, or at play, using braille labeling can help create a more accessible environment for everyone involved! Tactile identifiers like braille give those who are living with visual impairments more independence and control over their environment without having to rely solely on sighted assistance from others—allowing them to navigate their day-to-day lives much more confidently and safely than ever before! On top of that, investing in quality braille labeling helps create a safer space overall by providing clear direction during emergency situations—making it an invaluable tool both now and in the future! So why wait? Start exploring how you can use braille labeling in your home, class or business today!
