ADA-compliant signs should include Grade 2 braille, tactile (raised) lettering, high color contrast, a matte sign finish, and various height and border requirements. For a more in-depth look, please read through the U.S. Access Board’s ADA sign guide. |
You can type your desired text into our design wizard to have it converted to braille. Simply type your custom text and click the “Braille” button. Please note that your braille will appear in the design tool as Grade 1 braille. However, when the sign is produced, ADA-compliant Grade 2 braille will be used in order to meet ADA standards. |
Grade 2 braille is the standard in the US and is required for ADA-compliant signs. Unlike Grade 1 braille's one-to-one letter translation, Grade 2 includes contractions for faster reading. |
ADA signs indoors are often used for directional signs or labeling. Many businesses ensure that rooms are labeled correctly with tactile text and braille showing room numbers, restrooms, and any general wayfinding. |
ADA signs serve various purposes outdoors, including designating exterior entrances and aiding in wayfinding, labeling outdoor restrooms or facilities, and providing general information at parks, campuses, or events. |
With proper care, your custom ADA sign can last more than five years. In harsher weather environments or with high sun exposure, the lifespan can decrease. |
To keep your ADA sign vibrant and clean, we suggest cleaning your sign with warm soapy water and a rag when you see any stains. You can also help lengthen your sign's life by placing it out of direct sunlight if possible. The less bending, the better; placing your sign on a flat surface will also help to extend its use. |
According to the Americans with Disabilities Act, every building that offers access to the public must have appropriate signage posted to mark specific locations, such as restrooms and exits. At CustomSigns.com, we create ADA-compliant plastic signs with braille that meet current regulatory standards. Shop this section for pre-designed and custom ADA restroom signs, exit signs, room name signage, and stairwell signs.

Creating an ADA-compliant building helps handicapped customers have a safe and pleasant experience while also protecting your business from liability. When a building is missing necessary handicap and braille signs, there is a higher potential for fines to be levied; however, the ADA works with businesses to become compliant, even offering tax incentives to help meet the cost of compliance. For more information about where to hang ADA signs, we have a helpful blog that provides height requirements and which rooms these signs should be posted for.

We are committed to helping you make signs accessible to everyone, including those who are blind or visually impaired. That's why we create all of our signs in contracted (Grade 2) braille for ADA compliance. You even have the choice to design your own custom braille sign. Although our design wizard shows your custom braille in uncontracted (Grade 1) braille, your design will be produced and sent to you in standard ADA-compliant Grade 2 braille.
Grade 2 braille is the more commonly used form of braille in the United States and is the required braille grade for ADA-compliant signs. Compared to Grade 1 braille, which is a one-to-one translation of each letter or punctuation mark, Grade 2 braille includes contractions and punctuations that allow for faster reading. When creating our signs in Grade 2 braille, we follow the International Braille Alphabet Code. This ensures that our signs are ADA-compliant, accurate, and easy to read for people who are blind or visually impaired.
