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.
National Braille Press produces accessible braille and ADA signs with quick turnarounds at a minimal investment! We can help you get started with a small job, or large-scale projects for indoor and outside locations. Plus, having ADA-compliant signs demonstrates your commitment to support accessibility for blind and low vision people with inclusive signage 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 accurate braille, and is compliant with ADA Standards.
Many commercial sign companies may offer 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 should be your go-to organization that can be trusted to produce accurate ADA signs. We have invested in the latest commercial, UV ink technology, that can print ADA signs on acrylic, metal, or wood surfaces, and provide compliant, accurate signs for your establishment. Our ADA signs are also appealing and affordable. You can choose standard ADA signs, or we can customize the design with logos, contrasting colors and finishes to match your building décor.

Types of ADA Signs
ADA Background
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.
*A few small businesses are exempt from ADA requirements, including companies that only operate up to twenty weeks a year, or businesses with less than fifteen employees. Religious organizations, private clubs, or businesses entirely owned by a federally recognized Native American tribe, are also exempt.
