Mechanism description and the physical model of shrink sleeve relief labeling are presented. Embossed letters and symbols on goods packaging are intended for people with impaired vision, capable of recognizing tactile Braille marking. Internal stresses relaxation in shrink films made of rigid polyvinyl chloride at various stages of thermal printing is quantified. Dependencies between the relief parameters, the Braille font pixel diameter, and the gap between the container and the tubular film label are established. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl.
