[Ohio-Talk] A question from one of our blind vendors

Sat Sep 4 15:59:14 UTC 2021

When I did pop machines, I never label the outside, but each machine on the inside I would label, and then fill from left to right based on those labels. Of course, I didn’t have 50 machines, only 15, but that could work. To my knowledge there is no company, that does labels. Braille labels are often specific to a machine, surface area, or product, hence they are hard to mass produce. I know this isn’t what you’re looking for, but Maggie is really good at using the hand labeler, and might be willing to take on a small project like that for a fee. Just the two ideas Clide probably try to facilitate.

He would like to put braille labels in the pop machines to keep everything straight for himself so he can fill them independently. This is a fairly common practice for our operators. However, he hast to have over 600 labels made, so is reluctant to take that on doing them with a hand labeler. Does anyone know of a service that does this professionally? Possibly mass produce sheets of labels? Thanks.

Everyday we raise the expectations of blind people because we know that low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want, blindness is not what holds you back.
