Braille Printing and Binding Options
Paper: We use 8 ½ x 11 inch 65 lb. white cover stock paper. This “holds” the dots and makes the braille last longer and much easier to read. Your braille document can include protective plastic covers when requested.
Binding: Our braille documents are bound with a plastic GBC comb or spiral binding. Your Braille Works rep will review the options with you to determine the best method of binding for your projects.
Accessible Document Remediation Services
We also provide a service for converting documents to a “screen reader friendly” format. This process gives your customers with blindness or low vision an accessible document (Section 508 compliant) they can independently read with their computer. [Learn More]
