Whether you want to be sure you've pulled the right DVD off the shelf, you've picked up soup not rice pudding, or that you're putting on your lucky blue shirt, there's a labelling solution to suit your needs.
Many people use a mixture of audio, tactile, braille and colour labelling to help them find their stuff at home, work or school.
Tactile labelling solutions, such as tactile bumps (small adhesive rubber or foam dots available in different colours and shapes) and Tacti-Mark (orange or black liquid plastic which dries hard), are great for marking controls on ovens, microwaves, washing machines, stereos, etc. They can also be used to mark your keys or that jumble of TV, set-top box, DVD player plugs in your TV cabinet, to make them easier to identify.
Braillists can use a braille labeller (DL65) to produce their own labels using clear or black tape. The tape can be added to food caddies, DVDs, CDs, and more.
Most of our tactile labels also function as colour labels, but if labelling by colour is something you're interested in it's worth checking out our day-glo orange tape and our colour detectors (handheld gadgets that announce the colour of items).
One of our most popular labelling solutions is the RNIB PenFriend audio labeller (DL128). This small device allows you to record audio labels using your own voice. It's easy to use and works with a wide variety of special labels – self-adhesive tactile labels, magnetic labels, laundry labels, waterproof labels for bottles and jars, to name but a few. There's almost nothing in your home you couldn't label with a PenFriend and the appropriate label (assuming it's inanimate, large enough to label and not a free-flowing liquid!).
The PenFriend is not our only audio labelling solution – you should check out the rest of the range which includes recordable devices for tinned food, and memo takers.
