Products for the Blind and Visually Impaired Since 1962 We developed a specialized paper and plastic labeling material that could enhance this new technology.

American Thermoform (ATC) was founded in 1962 with the introduction of a revolutionary product – the Thermoform 55 Brailon Duplicator. The Brailon Duplicator and its specially formulated plastic-like sheeting material (Brailon) allowed users to create multiple copies of Braille in a remarkably quick manner. Prior to the introduction of this product, Braille documents were produced one sheet at a t

ime using a Perkins Brailler or Slate and Stylus. The Brailon Duplicator was distributed worldwide, and customers realized it could be used for more than just Braille reproduction; it could be used to produce durable tactile graphics, too. Braille textbooks and reading materials became available at a low cost to the blind and visually impaired community across the world. With upgrades over the years, the Brailon Duplicator remains the most reliable, cost effective way to produce both copies and originals of Braille and tactile graphics. As high tech, computer-based Braille Embossers (Printers) were introduced, ATC kept up with these changing times. We continue to offer the highest quality and affordably priced Braille Paper and Braille Labels, and are the largest producer of both products. In 2014, American Thermoform Corporation established BraillePaper.com, which is a site solely devoted to Braille Paper and what sets ours apart. Please visit http://www.braillepaper.com to view detailed information on our Braille Paper. In addition to the consumables side of the Braille business, ATC also represents Braillo Norway – manufacturer of the finest production/commercial Braille embossers in the industry. ATC supports and maintains these machines across North America. Realizing the importance of tactile graphics in an educational setting, ATC wanted to provide customers with a complementary product to our Brailon Duplicator. We proudly represent Zychem – the leading manufacturer of Swell Form Graphics machines and Swell Touch paper, a system that opened up a new world of tactile teaching materials for the blind and visually impaired. ATC also works closely with Perkins Braille, National Braille Press, American Printing House for the Blind, National Federation of the Blind and countless other blindness organizations across the world. Since 1962, ATC has pursued one primary goal: to develop and provide quality, affordable products to enrich the lives of the blind and visually impaired. This remains ATC’s goal today and for the future.

A Braillo 200 from 1994 with 10 million embossed pages so far, has just arrived at American Thermoform for an upgrade package. This upgrade kit will make it like a new 300 S2. This is the definition of Braillo - quality you can trust. No other embosser manufacturer can produce a machine still going strong after nearly 30 years. Furthermore, you can always upgrade Braillo’s - rejuvenate, not replace!

This is final 600 SR1 of a 9 year production run - it's Braillo's most popular embosser and capable of 24/7 braille embossing. All parts are readily available and we're adding an extra year warranty onto it (making it 5 years!). Not to mention, we are asking $13,000 below retail.

Happy World Braille Day! Let’s celebrate and raise awareness together!

Today we are proud to introduce to you that our Embossables braille labels now have an anti-microbial, self-sanitizing surface.

The non-toxic, nano-sized layer breaks up germ membranes upon contact, which prevents germs from living on the surface, and inhibits the growth of bacteria and pathogens on it.

This is one more weapon to add to your cleaning protocols to fight against germs and illness in the classroom, home or workplace.

Please complete this survey to help visually impaired students before Nov 22.

American Thermoform and Braillo are working with industry leaders to support the visually impaired during and after COVID.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in school closures and a shift of education to online environments. These changes have led to concerns about the quality of education for students who are blind or have low vision, including those with additional disabilities and deafblindness.

This survey has been developed to allow us to collect vital information from:

• A family member or guardian of a child with a visual impairment
• A teacher of students with visual impairment (TVI)
• An orientation and mobility (O&M) instructor

The information gathered through the survey will be used to inform teachers, administrators, policymakers, families, and others so we can ensure we can deliver a quality education to all students, including those most vulnerable with a visual impairment or deafblindness.

Please share this post with anyone you feel should complete this survey.

Thank you in advance for your participation and help.

Solutions and advocacy starts with understanding
