Ever find yourself wandering a hallway in an office building or apartment complex, unsure if you're about to walk into a supply closet or the washroom? Maybe trying to find the staircase to get a few extra steps in for the day? You're definitely not alone. That's where wayfinding signs come in to play. They're those helpful little guides that tell us where to go, what's what, and sometimes, even where not to go.

But for wayfinding signs to be effective, as many people as possible need to be able to read them and that's where braille comes in. Braille is a tactile writing system that lets blind or people with low-vision read signs by touch. It's a small addition that makes a big difference in making spaces more inclusive for everyone.

Here are a few examples of what these signs can look like:

So, why bother with wayfinding and braille signs you ask? Well, they help everyone, visitors, staff, and customers navigate your space with confidence. They make buildings more accessible, welcoming, and let's be honest, a lot less confusing.

What We Offer

BrailliantTouch Signs

Our BrailliantTouch signs represent the cutting edge of accessibility technology, utilizing advanced 3D printing techniques to create precise and durable ADA-compliant signage. These signs are produced through a layer-by-layer printing process, where raised letters, images, and braille dots are built up through multiple passes. After each pass, the material is cured using UV light, ensuring exceptional durability and tactile clarity. This innovative manufacturing method allows us to achieve consistent dot height, sharp letter definition, and smooth surface transitions that provide a top-notch reading experience for visually impaired users while maintaining the professional appearance your space deserves.

Applique Signs

Our Applique signs combine two specialized manufacturing techniques in a single, ADA-compliant product. The applique method creates crisp raised letters and symbols by securely adhering durable plastic characters to the sign's surface, ensuring excellent tactile readability. For the braille elements, we use our BrailliantTouch method, which 3D prints durable braille dots directly on the sign for optimal tactile clarity. This combination of methods delivers signage that serves all users effectively, making any space more accessible and welcoming.
