With well over 10 years experience in Braille origination and application, Firstan have developed extensive tried and tested methods that keep lead times on Pharma packaging jobs requiring Braille to an absolute minimum.

Braille Application

Braille embossing is a vital component of today’s Pharmaceutical packaging requirements, as part of a wider commitment to aiding those with visual disabilities. From October 2008 it became a requirement of Pharmaceutical packaging designs to contain information for the visually impaired. New European legislation will also require Braille application on all licensed Pharmaceutical packaging products from 2010.

Braille is always applied as a separate layer on digital artwork, using the industry standard Braille font Marburg Medium and is created in a specific colour that differentiates it from the carton design. For proofing and verification the Braille is repeated and translated to standard type outside of the artwork bleed area.
