These fully-tactile Braille flags are designed and produced at the Kansas Braille Transcription Institute in Wichita, Kansas.

Each flag is carefully constructed from thermoform, a flexible plastic fiber noted for durably retaining Braille and tactile graphics. Framed or otherwise, you will be proud to display your fully tactile Braille flags. All tactile flags may be displayed indoors or outdoors.

These tactile graphic can serve as valuable educational aids for teaching blind elementary school students how the United States flag and other flags are designed. They are also easily handed out as demonstration pieces at conferences, workshops, or seminars. Many copies have been donated to local veterans' hospitals and organizations, schools, churches, museums, libraries, and civic groups, and for memorial use.

Prices listed include shipping and handling, unless customers request expedited shipping, which incurs additional fees. International orders may also incur additional fees.
