CCL markets "second generation" Braille system

31 July 2007


After “hundreds of test runs” it has perfected a “BrailleMarker” machine, in close co-operation with suppliers, which sprays small dots continuously onto strips of labels. The technology behind the system is “confidential”, but the result is reportedly “very clear Braille labels that exceed the official requirements of a minimum 0.2mm raised point”. “Blind and visually impaired people can literally feel their way forward before taking the correct medicine,” says the company.

CCL production manager Gert H Andersen adds: “The transparent points are added on top of text and graphics without making it harder to read them, Current booklet and folding labels can therefore have Braille added without any changes to layout.

The BrailleMarker prints the Braille dots digitally, meaning users “avoid films and masks”
