At Graphic Impact, we’re setting a new standard in accessible signage with our cutting-edge approach to manufacturing custom Braille signs. For the first time, clients can choose between first-surface or second-surface graphics on durable acrylic substrates—providing unmatched design flexibility, visual appeal, and long-lasting performance. Whether you're outfitting a single office or an entire facility, our ADA-compliant signs are made without setup fees or minimum quantity requirements. That means high-quality, customized tactile signage is now more accessible than ever.

What Makes Graphic Impact’s Braille Signs Different?

Unlike traditional Braille signs that are often limited in design and application, Graphic Impact offers a revolutionary alternative. Our signs can be produced with either:

• First-surface graphics – where text, graphics, and Braille are applied to the front surface of the sign for a tactile, layered feel
• Second-surface graphics – where the print is applied to the back of clear acrylic, protecting the visual elements while the raised lettering and Braille remain tactile on the front

This advanced method offers greater creative freedom and improved durability while ensuring compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards.

Why Surface Options Matter in ADA Signage

First- and second-surface printing techniques each bring unique advantages depending on where and how your signs will be used:

• First-surface Braille signs are ideal for high-touch areas where tactile navigation is key. The raised graphics are easy to identify by touch, and finishes can be customized for texture and color contrast.
• Second-surface Braille signs protect the printed graphic from damage or tampering. These signs are perfect for upscale environments, such as corporate offices, healthcare facilities, and schools, where aesthetics and longevity are important.

By offering both options, Graphic Impact gives clients the ability to tailor signage to the environment and user experience without compromising compliance or design quality.

Compliance with ADA Guidelines

Every Braille sign produced by Graphic Impact is fully ADA-compliant. We follow strict federal guidelines that cover:

• Grade II Braille dot spacing and placement
• Raised tactile letters with sans-serif fonts
• High-contrast background and text color combinations
• Non-glare finish to ensure readability
• Mounting height and placement recommendations

These compliance standards ensure that our signs are not only visually appealing, but also functional for all users—including those with visual impairments.

No Minimum Orders and No Setup Fees

One of the biggest advantages of working with Graphic Impact is our commitment to flexibility. Whether you need a single sign or hundreds, there are no minimum order requirements. We also never charge setup fees—something that sets us apart from many competitors in the signage industry.

This allows small businesses, architects, schools, and government facilities to invest in quality ADA signage without blowing their budgets. It also makes it easy to update or add new signage as needed without logistical hurdles or high costs.

Precision Manufacturing for Every Application

We use state-of-the-art printing and fabrication technology to produce signs that are precise, durable, and visually striking. Our process includes:

• Direct-to-substrate UV printing on acrylic for vibrant, high-resolution graphics
• Laser or rotary engraving for raised letters and Braille dots
• Custom color-matching and font selection
• Optional backpainting or layering for enhanced depth and dimension

Each sign is meticulously inspected to ensure consistent quality, compliance, and aesthetic excellence.

Custom Design Options

At Graphic Impact, customization is key. Our team works with you to create signage that aligns with your brand while still meeting legal standards. Available design options include:

• Choice of acrylic thickness (typically 1/8" to 1/4")
• Variety of color options and finishes (glossy, matte, frosted)
• Custom shapes and sizes
• Logo inclusion and decorative patterns
• Mounting options including standoffs, adhesives, or wall mounts
