What are Stactiles?

Stactiles are high quality tactile stickers with bright colours and sharp textures. Each sheet provides a set of different icons, letters or numbers. Use them for your appliances, touch screen, education or just for fun!

Affordable shipping, directly from the Netherlands

A large sheet of colorful Stactiles tactile stickers lies on a production bed, covered with rows of alphabet letters and small icons, each featuring raised Braille dots. The sheet is positioned under a printing and cutting machine, showing the manufacturing process of the tactile stickers before they are separated, coated and packaged.

It takes 7 hours, several layers of UV printing and high-end coating to produce your stickers.

Producing tactile stickers that feel this precise is incredibly complex. With state-of-the-art technology and entirely new production methods, we bring touch to life like never before. All of this, manufactured right here in the Netherlands.

Developed with the Community

These stickers were shaped by real user feedback. Dozens of blind and visually impaired users tried early versions, shared what worked and what didn’t, and helped us refine every texture and symbol. What you feel today is the result of that collaboration.

What clients say

  • Love it!

    "I was skeptical about putting stickers on my coffee machine, but Stactiles work perfectly on touchscreens without interfering with the sensitivity. They have turned flat devices into a tactile-friendly tool that I can finally navigate."

  • Fun and useful

    "Most accessibility labels look purely functional, but Stactiles actually addsome style and fun while making appliances usable. The quality of the UV printing is obvious the moment you touch them. I advise them to my students all the time."

  • Brilliant stuff

    Navigating the smooth buttons on my washing machine used to be a guessing game, but these stickers have given me my independence back. The adhesive is incredibly strong, and the variety of shapes means I never confuse the 'start' button with the 'settings' again.

  • A photograph shows two boys working together on math exercises at a wooden desk in a bright classroom. The boy in the foreground, seen from the back, has placed several tactile number and symbol stickers from the 'Hable Stactiles - Numbers' sheet into his open notebook, creating equations like "3 + 2 = 5". The boy next to him is touching the full tactile sticker sheet. Another student and a whiteboard with math problems are in the background.

    FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

    How should I apply Stactiles?

    1. Clean the surface
    2. Dry the surface
    3. Stick the Stactile
    4. Apply pressure
    5. Leave for 24 hours so the adhesive can set
    6. All done :)

    Are Stactiles heat-resistant?

    Stactiles have been used in high-temperature settings and have remained intact after exposure to around 200°C for an hour. They are suitable for use near stove tops or ovens, although prolonged or direct heat may eventually affect adhesion.

    Can Stactiles be safely used on cookware or near ovens?

    Stactiles generally tolerate heat well and can be used around kitchen appliances. They do well with stainless steel and glassware.

    Can Stactiles go through the dishwasher?

    Stactiles™ show good resistance to heat, moisture and detergent, remaining attached through several dishwasher cycles. Adhesion may vary depending on placement, surface texture and washing conditions. Make sure to attach the Stactile to a dry surface and wait 24 hours for the adhesive to dry before putting it in the dishwasher.

    Will Stactiles stick on curved or uneven surfaces?

    They adhere best to flat or gently curved surfaces. On very smooth plastic surfaces or rounded materials, the edges may begin to lift or peel over time. In the development, we have chosen a rigid PVC substrate for long lasting adherence, the downside is it doesn't bend very well.

    How do Stactiles perform in humid environments?

    Stactiles generally maintain their shape and adhesion in humid or misty conditions. Extended exposure to moisture may still weaken the adhesive depending on the surface.

    What are Stactiles?

    Stactiles are high quality tactile stickers designed to help blind and visually impaired individuals identify everyday objects, surfaces and devices through touch. They feature raised symbols that can be easily felt and recognised.

    Who can use Stactiles?

    They are created for people who are blind or have low vision, as well as for inclusive designers, educators and caregivers who wish to make spaces more accessible.

    How do Stactiles work?

    Each sticker features a raised tactile pattern representing a specific object or function. They can be placed on items such as kitchen appliances, containers, switches or tools to make them identifiable by touch.

    Do Stactiles fade or wear off over time?

    They are made from durable materials that resist fading and smudging under everyday use. As with any label, longevity will depend on handling, surface type and environmental conditions.

    Why are Stactiles out of stock?

    Stactiles require a complex production process that can take up to 7 hours per sheet, which limits how fast we can produce them. Because of this, keeping up with demand can be challenging. We're constantly producing new batches and doing our best to keep Stactiles available for everyone.
