They’re not big, but enough to Braile a few short words on them. the advantage to these is you create the lable just once and then wrap it around whatever you want. Gallon of OJ/milk, any number of frozen items in your freezer. Etc. and you can use them over and over again as you replace the old for the new. I’ll have to check to see what they’re called as it’s been a while that I bought them.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-ligatures:none'>Cristóbal<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='mso-ligatures:none'>From:</span></b><span style='mso-ligatures:none'> NFB-InTheKitchen <nfb-inthekitchen-bounces@nfbnet.org> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Debbie Gabe<br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, August 30, 2023 10:06 AM<br><b>To:</b> NFB In The Kitchen <nfb-inthekitchen@nfbnet.org><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [NFB-InTheKitchen] Braille labels<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Yes, I cut what I brailled off the larger sheets.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>There is another option – a young woman in Arizona makes plastic labels, braille on one side and print on the other, using a tactile printer.

When I was removing all the edging that’s typically on the sheets, sometimes a label would accidentally come off, and the adhesive was so good that, if it accidentally bound to itself, you couldn’t un-do it1 So, if you’re careful in placing a label on your item, it is spectacular! I’m pretty sure it’s clear, because it is very, very smooth. I think those could be cut for a variety of applications, food and otherwise.

I purchased a stove that has a touch pad. I created braille labels using Dymo tape. For the last few years, the Dymo tape I have purchased hasn’t worked to well. Many times, after placing the label on something, it will become lose. Then when I slightly drag my finger on the touch pad to locate a particular label, the label falls off. Is there a very good Dymo tape I can purchase? Where would I buy it? Or is there something else I could do to mark the various spots on the touch pad? Also, I mark my credit cards and bus card. Same thing many times the labels fall off. Thanks, Kevin<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
