Braille Products
Since 1919 Braille Institute of America has been a pioneer and leader in the production of braille—the unique raised-dot code that has opened the world of print to the blind and visually impaired community.
We have steadily earned and maintained a reputation for consistently delivering high-quality, precision work at an affordable price. As the largest publisher of its kind on the West coast, Braille Institute embossed nearly two-million pages of braille last year.
In addition, our Braille Special Collection program for children offers free braille literature to blind children in the U.S. and Canada.

Tactile Graphics
The advent of new technology and software has brought about exciting new developments in the field of tactile graphics—raised line images used to represent photographs or line drawings in printed materials. Ideal for industrial use, as well as for Textbooks & Tests, tactile graphics are another way of bringing detailed information to the visually impaired community. Utilize our expertise to bring your maps, charts, photos, diagrams and graphs to the fingertips of your clients, patrons and students.
