Ten years ago Mike Hambly was involved in a car accident which resulted in him loosing his sight.? He went back to school and now has a full time job.
During one of his meetings he was presented with a business card which he promptly returned.? The business owner was very perplexed by this.? Mike pointed out that this business card was of no use to him as he could not read it.? This problem could be solved very easily if the business card had braille.
Braille is a series of raised dots, that represent the alphabet, numbers and punctuation, that a visually impaired person can read with their fingers.? Different languages have their own braille code.
Incidents like this are a constant in Mike’s life and he decided to do something about it.? He founded a company called Braille It who’s mission is to make the printed word accessible to all.
He custom designed a braille press which can print about 500 cards per hour.? It’s all manually operated and he hopes to have it automated in the next year or two.? He does not do this alone and does have the help of his family.
So if you want to have Braille on your business cards, flyers etc., it’s very easy.? Just ship your products to Braille It and they will convert your business co-lateral to braille.
Psst…. Braille friendly business cards have a high probability of being picked during a draw
