American Thermoform Corporation has produced braille paper since 1988. We are the only manufacturer of braille paper who is actually in the braille business. We teamed up with paper specialists and developed a paper made specifically for us, to be used in today’s standard continuous form braille embossers. ATC is the largest distributor of production braille embossers in North America and we know exactly what type of paper works best. Using the wrong paper and “odd-lots,” which many of our competitors use, can cause serious damage to your braille embosser. Additionally, our paper is created at a single mill, ensuring consistency in color and texture from order to order.

The post Braille Paper 11×11.5″ – 19 Hole, Continuous Feed appeared first on American Thermoform.

American Thermoform has been producing the highest quality braille labels since 1983. We have a specially designed adhesive that will not clog printing pins and doesn’t generate static electricity, which ultimately causes embossing issues. These braille labels are the industry standard and are used throughout the world. There are two formats of labels available – cut sheet / single sheet (Braillables) and continuous / tractor feed (Embossables), with both being the same material.

Braille is embossed onto these labels and can then be cut to size and will adhere to nearly every surface. This material is perfectly clear and ideal for book titles, labeling shelves, canned goods, and identifying objects at home, school or office. Standard finished sizes are 8.5×11”, however, please contact us should you need custom braille label sizes.

Braille labeling material can be shipped Free Matter For The Blind for those entitled, using the U.S. Postal Service. The shipping times using this method vary depending on your geographical location. If faster delivery is required, we can ship using commercial shipping services, such as UPS, FedEx, and DHL. For large orders, please contact us about palletizing, Air Freight and/or Sea Freight options

Embossables® – The continuous (tractor) feed labeling material is designed for tractor feed braille embossers.  The continuous sheets can also be separated and used in cut sheet embossers, as well. ATC Embossables are coated with an anti-microbial, self-sanitizing surface and are also safe to clean with many household cleaners.

Our braille labels are a plastic-like material that can be cleaned with many non-bleach cleaners such as Lysol disinfectant spray or wipes, Windex, 409 (no bleach formula), etc. Regular cleaning can reduce the growth and transmission of germs.

Do not use any cleaners that contain bleaches, acids or coarse materials like Comet, as these can damage your labels. If you are not certain test on a small portion of your label first, or call us and we would be happy to test for you.

Our Embossables have an anti-microbial, self-sanitizing surface.
The anti-microbial product is EPA registered and is permanently bonded on the surface of the labels. That said, it does not change the
way the labels feel, smell, feed through your braille embosser or hold the braille dot. The nano-sized layer breaks up germ membranes upon contact, which prevents germs from living on the surface, and inhibits the growth of bacteria and pathogens on it.

As this anti-microbial is a physical solution, it works 24/7 and does not use any toxic chemicals or metals.
This is one more weapon to add to your cleaning protocols that helps fight against germs and illness in the classroom, home or workplace.

** In our recent lab testing, please note that it is 94 – 98% effective within 2 hours of exposure, and 99% within 4 hours.
