Hi,
I am working on a Braille and large print washable garment label or hang tag
and need input about the following:

1. If a Braille hangtag were to be made available on garments, should it
have Braille on one side and raised print on the other side or should there
be two hang tags, one with Braille and one with raised print?

2. Should the whole hangtag be washable?  For example, if the care
instructions, size, color, country of origin and fiber content were in
Braille and large print on a paper hang tag and a separate washable label
just stating was also attached, would that work as well or would should all
the information be placed on the washable label?

3.  For care instructions, would symbols be okay.  For example, dry clean
only is a triangle or square?
And how would you want percentages abbreviated?  For example, 100% cotton
could be 100 CT or 1ct?  Any ideas?
