[Nfb-science] braille packaging

[Michael Whapples]

Hello,
I have noticed various items in the UK having braille on the packaging 
and some of its useful. By that comment of some of it is useful, I mean 
it does say what it is rather than that one bottle of disinfectant which 
told me in Braille "caution".

The other interesting thing is that I have sometimes found its only on 
the store's own brand rather than the more expensive branded ones. This 
to me indicates that it doesn't cost too much to put Braille on the 
packaging.
