Labels play an important role in the field of information transmission and identification. Ordinary labels are widely used to identify various items, but for the visually impaired, ordinary labels cannot meet their needs for obtaining information. Braille raised labels are specially designed for the visually impaired. Compared with ordinary labels, they have many unique advantages in function, providing convenience for the visually impaired and helping them better integrate into society and live independently.
Ordinary labels mainly convey information through vision and rely on people's vision to read. The biggest advantage of braille raised labels is its touchability. It presents the text in the form of raised dots through a special process, and the visually impaired can touch these raised dots with their fingers to identify the text information. This way of perceiving information by touch is not limited by factors such as light and environment. Whether it is day or night, in a bright room or a dim environment, the visually impaired can accurately obtain relevant information about the items by touching the braille raised labels, such as product names, instructions for use, product ingredients, etc., which greatly improves their cognition and control of the world around them.
Braille raised labels help the visually impaired to achieve independent living. In daily life, visually impaired people can distinguish different items by touching braille raised labels, such as identifying different brands and types of goods in supermarkets, accurately finding the required medicines in medicine cabinets, and identifying washing instructions and sizes on clothes. This enables them to shop, organize items, take care of their daily lives, and reduce their dependence on others, enhance their self-confidence and independence, and improve their quality of life.
In some special scenarios, braille raised labels can also provide safety protection. For example, braille raised labels are set at emergency exits, fire equipment, elevator buttons and other locations in public places. Visually impaired people can quickly find safe exits or operate related equipment by touching the labels in case of emergencies to ensure their own safety. In some industrial sites, braille raised labels can also be used to identify dangerous items or areas, reminding visually impaired workers to pay attention to safety and avoid accidents.
With the society's emphasis on the construction of barrier-free environment, braille raised labels are in line with the concept of barrier-free design and reflect the society's care and respect for people with disabilities. It enables visually impaired people to obtain information equally, enjoy social resources and services like other people, and promote social fairness and inclusion. Setting up braille raised labels in public facilities, transportation, cultural venues and other places is an important part of building a barrier-free social environment, which helps to create a more friendly and harmonious social atmosphere.
Braille raised labels can be combined with ordinary labels to supplement and strengthen the communication of information. For some content that has both visual information and needs to be understood by the visually impaired, setting up ordinary labels and braille raised labels at the same time can meet the needs of different groups of people. For example, in the introduction of museum exhibits and the book labels of libraries, the use of two labels at the same time is convenient for ordinary audiences to read, and allows the visually impaired to understand the relevant information by touch, making the information communication more comprehensive and accurate.
Compared with ordinary labels, braille raised labels have irreplaceable unique advantages in function. It provides information to the visually impaired in a touchable way, helps them live independently, ensures safety, conforms to the concept of barrier-free design, and can be used in conjunction with ordinary labels to supplement and strengthen information communication. With the development of society and the increasing attention to the rights and interests of people with disabilities, the application of braille raised labels will become more and more extensive, creating a more convenient and friendly living environment for the visually impaired.
