What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 14, 2026
These are replacement polyblend pages for the APH Tactile Book Builder Kit — a system that lets educators and families create custom tactile books for students who are blind or have low vision. The black polyblend material is designed to hold tactile elements (thermoform overlays, textures, raised-line graphics) firmly in place, and the dark color provides high contrast for students with functional but limited vision. You're buying a set of 8 pages only — you'll need the original Tactile Book Builder Kit (catalog 1-08826-00) for the binder hardware, rings, and other components to assemble a finished book. This is a consumable replenishment item, so if you're already in a school program or TVI practice using the kit, it's straightforward to integrate; for anyone new to tactile book construction, a teacher of the visually impaired (TVI) or O&M specialist typically guides the process of designing and assembling meaningful tactile books.
