[Nfb-krafters-korner] Braille Business Cards

Wed Jan 6 02:41:29 UTC 2016

Another thing to consider is if you have your picture as my husband does on
your business cards and Braille them. Well you will look ill with bumps here
and there. He got the tent kind and brailled the blank side not the actual
tri color card.  Oh also they did his card wrong. His email address is
completely underlined. He only needed an underscore Between the K and the F
in his address. So what do we do with 500 cards Brailled wrong. We use them
and only two good braille readers saw any problem with them.  Mine I do not
have Braille on them.

Before you decide that price is bad, think about what you are asking for. 
That is roughly 20 cents per card. If done manually, they would take a lot
of time and you could not pay the going hourly rate. If done on an embosser,
it is not something we can set up like in a ink printer and whirl you out
those cards in a minute. The page has to be very carefully set up and tested
numerous times. Then, a whole lot of measuring will have to be done or the
company has to have some kind of device to automatically do that for you. It
was suggested that you buy your print business cards, buy the impressor
which is sold by APH and perhaps NFB Independence Market and do your cards
yourself. In the long run, you will be far better off to emboss a one page
flyer spending a similar amount of money and be able to tell about your
services. On a business card, you will only get your name, phone number and
maybe 2 or three words of what you are. They had better be good or people
will say what is this. If you want to talk with me more about this, write me
at ncbootman at gmail.com I am only responding on list because from time to
time folks here do consider starting up craft businesses and there are some
realities that must be faced. I am a braille transcriber so do have some
knowledge of this process.
