Our club has a blind player and so we use braille embossed cards whenever he is present.

We finally obtained a dealing machine and now we face the problem of sourcing suitable braille embossed cards (compact format, and thin enough to pose no dealing problems).
We are able to emboss cards in braille, but initial experiments with home-embossed plastic cards have been discouraging. Next try will be with paper cards which maybe remain (or quickly become) flatter.

I have seen however that there are factory made braille embossed packs on sale on the internet, which might be the easiest and best way to go. But the prices I saw were prohibitive, typically $10 per pack with no mentioned discounts for quantity.

Does anyone know of a reasonably priced source for (say) 30 packs, shipping to Italy?

If not, has anyone faced and solved the same issue?

This Canadian source seems cheap.

Yes, $7 is a bit better, thanks.
I'll see if they could halve that for quantity.

In the meantime, other experiences are still welcome.
