Abstract: A TACTILE IDENTIFICATION TAG SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR NON VISUAL IDENTIFICATION OF PRODUCT ATTRIBUTES The present invention relates to a tactile identification tag system for enabling non-visual identification of product attributes by visually impaired users. The system comprises a tag body configured for attachment to a product and incorporating a tactile colour identification region and a tactile size identification region arranged in a fixed spatial configuration. The tactile colour identification region comprises a plurality of tactile markers arranged in a predetermined positional sequence, each marker position corresponding to a respective colour category, wherein a colour attribute is indicated by tactile differentiation of at least one marker. The tactile size identification region comprises one or more tactilely distinguishable raised shapes corresponding to respective size categories. The tactile differentiation may comprise absence, cut- out formation, embossment, indentation, texture variation, height variation, perforation, surface pattern variation, or combinations thereof. The tactile colour and size identification regions enable sequential tactile identification of product attributes through touch without reliance on visual observation, Braille literacy, electronic devices, software applications, or external assistance.
