ADA Braille Signs

ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) signs are legally required in almost every type of business that serves the public. Regardless of the size of the business or age of the building, businesses must follow the ADA Standards*. This is a legal right that should not be overlooked; having no ADA signs or non-compliant signs can result in an initial federal fine of $75,000, and opens your business to potential civil suits. Plus, having ADA-compliant signs demonstrates your commitment to do the right thing for blind and low vision people by providing accessible, inclusive signs in your facilities.

National Braille Press (NBP) is a leading producer of high quality braille and tactile graphics in the US, including standardized tests, where the braille must be accurate.

We take the same approach in creating ADA signage, that is affordable, has an accurate braille code, and that is compliant with ADA Standards.

Many commercial sign companies may offer stock-looking ADA signs, but our blind staff members have found errors with ADA signs in major hotel chains, on public transportation, and in public buildings. Room numbers in a major hotel were correct in print, but with the wrong room numbers in braille. And in one building, the print was correctly labeled for the men's and women's restrooms, but the braille on those signs was reversed!

National Braille Press is the organization that can be trusted to produce ADA signs, with quick turn-around and a minimal investment. Our signs are compliant, but also appealing and affordable. We can also specialize the design with a logo and contrasting colors to match your building décor. Our large bed, state-of-the-art printer can print ADA signs on acrylic, metal, or wood surfaces, and provide compliant, accurate signs for your establishment.

Contact our staff at NBP to see how affordable this investment is for your government building or private business. (we should create a link for email inquiry with info) and a template for all of the sign info for an estimate - details to follow)

President George H.W. Bush signed the ADA into law on July 26, 1990. This civil rights legislation prohibits discrimination against disabled people in access to goods, services, and employment. On March 15, 2011, signage requirements for all public buildings in the United States were set. ADA compliant signs have raised letters and braille on them with specifications based on the type of sign, location, and building design.
