- My wife used to be able to get Braille clothing tags from AFB.
- These were small bits of sheet aluminum, 3/4" by 3/8" or so, with
- two-letter Braille abbreviations of various colors. There were
- holes at either end so they could be sewn into clothing.
-
- Well, AFB doesn't carry them any more, and the closest we've been
- able to find are some plastic tags from Ann Morris (?). These
- plastic tags are two-piece units that snap together, with the
- pattern on one side and the color on the other, and they cost
- $12+ for a set of 50 pairs.
-
- Does anyone know of something more like the "old-fashioned"
- aluminum tags that's still available? If not, we can go ahead
- and get the new plastic labels, but we're looking for something
- simpler and perhaps less expensive.
