Braille Label

Also known as: Braille Signage, Braille Tag

A label or sign that includes text in Braille to provide information to people who read Braille. In museums and public spaces, Braille labels are placed on exhibits, room signs, elevator buttons, and informational displays. While important for accessibility, Braille labels alone are insufficient because only a small percentage of blind people read Braille. Effective accessible labeling often combines Braille with raised print, audio alternatives, and tactile graphics. Space constraints on 3D models and exhibits may limit the amount of Braille text that can be included.
