For the tags, the main element of the product, the material chosen is polyisoprene rubber, also known as synthetic rubber. This material is commonly used in medical devices, surgical gloves, sports equipment, and food and beverage tubing due to its skin-friendly nature and high performance. Synthetic polyisoprene will ensure the tags are durable and tactile, while ensuring the user’s comfort.
This material has the following properties:

Heavyweight or thick paper is commonly used for Braille solutions because it provides a sturdy surface that can withstand embossing, which ensures clear and durable Braille characters that are easily readable by touch. It is thicker than normal paper, as it reduces the risk of tearing or distortion during production and allows accurate and consistent reading.
