A well-designed Braille Sign is more than compliance — it makes your building usable, safe, and welcoming for people who are blind or have low vision. Whether you need a braille tactile sign, a braille exit sign, or a braille number sign, this long-form guide covers everything: types, materials, use cases, benefits, comparisons, how to design and install tactile signage, and why SignXpress India is the right Braille Sign Manufacturer for certified, custom solutions.
Why Braille Signs Matter (and why this should be a priority)
Accessible signage is a legal, ethical, and practical requirement in modern spaces. Braille and tactile signage:
- Enables independence for people with visual impairments.
- Reduces accidents and improves wayfinding in public spaces.
- Demonstrates compliance with accessibility codes and government regulations.
- Signals that your organization cares about inclusion — important for reputation, employee morale, and customer experience.
If you manage a public building, a hotel, a healthcare facility, a railway platform, or even an office complex — Braille signage isn’t optional. It’s a must-have.
Types of Braille Signage (with detail and use-cases)
Below are the most common and effective types of Braille signs, each described with materials, recommended uses, advantages, and typical mounting styles.
Tactile Room & Door Signs (Braille Number Sign)

Mounting: Surface mount with stand-offs, adhesive, or recessed plates.
Braille Exit Sign (Emergency & Safety Signage)
Description: Signs indicating exits, fire escapes, and emergency routes. Must be visible and tactile in low-light scenarios.
Materials: Glow-in-dark acrylic or photoluminescent panels; stainless steel for durability.
Use cases: Schools, malls, factories, railway stations, hotels.
Advantages: Enhances safety during power loss; tactile features help locate exits.
Mounting: Wall mount above doors or near exits; must follow local placement codes.

Use cases: Large campuses, museums, transit hubs.
Advantages: Holistic orientation for first-time visitors; accessible route planning.

Materials & Construction — Which material for which purpose?
Below is a simple comparison table of common materials used for Braille signage, their pros/cons, and typical use-cases.
| Material | Durability | Finish Options | Best Use Cases | Cost Range (Relative) | Weather Resistance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acrylic | High | Many colors/translucent, glow-in-dark options | Indoor signs, tactile maps, custom shapes | Moderate | Good |
| Stainless Steel | Very High | Brushed, mirror, powder coat | High-traffic areas, outdoors, railway platforms | High | Excellent |
| Aluminium | High | Anodized, painted | Long-running outdoor signage, directional signs | Moderate | Very Good |
| MDF (Painted) | Moderate | Painted or laminated finishes | Indoor temporary signage, interiors | Low | Poor (not for wet areas) |
| ITC Paper Board (Laminated) | Low/Moderate | Cost-effective, printable | Temporary or low-cost indoor signs | Low | Poor |
| Glow-in-Dark (Photoluminescent) | Varies (substrate dependent) | Specialized photoluminescent layers | Emergency exit signs, stairways | Moderate | Good if substrate is weatherproof |
Note: SignXpress India offers all these material options, and each can be customized in thickness, color, text, and mounting style. All products are Govt. Approved & Certified (PWD, CPWD, DSIIDC, Railway, ISO, BIS).
How to Choose the Right Braille Sign — Practical checklist
Use this short checklist to make decisions fast:
- Location & Environment: Indoor or outdoor? High-traffic or low? Wet area?
- Purpose: Identification (room number), directional (arrow), or safety (exit)?
- Material Choice: Stainless steel for heavy wear, acrylic for flexibility and color, glow-in-dark for emergency exits.
- Mounting Style: Wall, door, stand-off, railing, or kiosk.
- Braille Standard: Grade 1 Braille for concise labels; consult a certified manufacturer for compliance.
- Size & Thickness: Ensure tactile text is raised adequately and durable — request manufacturer’s spec sheet.
- Contrast & Color: High contrast for low-vision users — dark letters on light background or vice versa.
- Certifications & Approvals: Confirm PWD/CPWD/DSIIDC/Railway approvals where applicable.
- Accessibility Testing: Ask for sample panels for tactile readability and user testing.
Design & Specification Best Practices (Actionable advice)
Accessible signage must balance tactile readability and visual clarity. Here are design best practices you can act on today.
Text & Tactile Lettering
- Use simple, sans-serif typefaces designed for tactile reading. Keep text short.
- Uppercase for visual legibility is common; tactile characters should be clear and spaced.
- Keep tactile characters and Braille on a flat plane with consistent raised height and smooth edges.
Braille Considerations
- Use Grade 1 Braille for most labels (literal transcription). For longer map labels, consider Grade 2 only with specialist input.
- Keep Braille placement consistent: usually directly below or to the right of tactile text.
- Ensure Braille dots are durable — permanently molded, not sticker-based.
Size, Spacing & Mounting Heights
- Place door and room signs at standard mounting heights used in your country (confirm local guidelines).
- Allow adequate clear floor space for approach and use.
- For tactile maps, provide a sloped angle for comfortable touch exploration.
H3: Contrast & Color
- High visual contrast helps users with low vision. Examples: black text on white, white text on dark blue.
- Avoid glossy surfaces that create glare — matte or semi-matte finishes work better tactilely.
Durability & Maintenance
- Choose materials resistant to scratching and weathering for high-traffic or outdoor signs.
- For outdoor installations, pick UV-stable inks and corrosion-resistant fasteners.
- Clean tactile signs gently — avoid abrasive chemicals that can flatten Braille dots.
If you need precise numeric specification (e.g., Braille dot height, inter-dot spacing, char heights), SignXpress India will provide certified technical drawings tailored to local code and accessibility standards.
Benefits & ROI of Investing in Quality Braille Signage
Installing professional, certified Braille signs delivers measurable returns:
- Legal compliance reduces risk of fines and litigation.
- Improved user experience — fewer misdirections and staff time spent helping lost visitors.
- Inclusive brand image attracts customers and supports CSR goals.
- Safety enhancements — especially with braille exit signs and glow-in-dark options.
- Long-term savings from durable materials that reduce replacement frequency.
Real-world example: a hospital that upgraded to durable stainless steel tactile signs reduced wayfinding-related staff interventions and reported smoother patient flow during peak hours (internal KPIs improved).
Comparison — Braille Sign vs Alternatives
It’s important to know where Braille signage stands relative to alternatives.
Braille Sign (Tactile)
- Pros: Direct, tactile readout; works without power; durable.
- Cons: Can’t convey complex verbal instructions; requires correct placement.
Audio Signage
- Pros: Excellent for complex guidance; helps users who can’t read Braille.
- Cons: Requires power/maintenance; privacy/noise concerns.
Digital Wayfinding Apps
- Pros: Flexible, dynamic, offers turn-by-turn navigation.
- Cons: Requires smartphone and compatible app; battery and connectivity limitations.
Combined Approach (Recommended)
- Use tactile Braille signs as the baseline, supplement with audio signs and digital wayfinding for layered accessibility. This hybrid approach offers both independence and richness of information.

Cost Factors & Budgeting (what affects the price)
Several variables influence the final cost of Braille signage:

- Quantity & Complexity: Large batches reduce per-unit cost; tactile maps and audio signs cost more.
- Finishing & Color: Special finishes, embossing, or glow-in-dark layers add cost.

- Certifications & Testing: Projects needing special government approvals have additional admin costs.
- Delivery & Installation Location: Remote or overseas shipments increase logistics cost.

- Cleaning: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals.
- Inspection: Check tactile dots for wear and remold or replace if flattening occurs.
- Hardware Check: Inspect anchors and stand-offs periodically. Tighten or replace corroded fasteners.
