Braille labelling machine

Quickly and easily produce grade 1 braille labels using the Braille labeller. If you are sighted you do not need to worry about knowing braille to create labels for friends and family using this hand-held machine. The alphabet on the dial is displayed in both print and braille, simply turn the dial to select the letter required and squeeze the machine’s handle to emboss the self-adhesive tape.
