BA Folding Cartons understands that we have a responsibility for ensuring a safe, dignified, and welcoming environment for everyone. We are committed to ensuring our organization’s compliance by incorporating accessibility legislation into our policies, procedures, equipment requirements, training, and best practices. We will review these policies and practices regularly. In addition, we will strive to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities in a timely and effective manner.

Accessibility features implemented on our website include:
Alternative Text: We provide alternative text descriptions for all important images on our website to ensure that individuals who are visually impaired can understand the content.
Keyboard Navigation: Our website can be easily navigated using a keyboard alone, ensuring that individuals who have motor disabilities and cannot use a mouse can still access all areas of the site.
Clear and Consistent Layout: We have designed our website to have a clear and consistent layout, making it easier for individuals with cognitive disabilities to understand and navigate the content.
Text Resizing: Users can adjust the text size on our website to suit their individual preferences, allowing those with visual impairments to comfortably read the content.
Color Contrast: We have taken measures to ensure that there is sufficient colour contrast between text and background elements, making it easier for individuals with visual impairments or colour blindness to read and understand the content.
Accessibility Guidelines: Our website is developed following the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. These guidelines are internationally recognized and aim to provide a comprehensive set of recommendations for making websites more accessible.
Compatibility: Our website is compatible with commonly used assistive technologies, such as screen readers, allowing individuals with visual impairments to access the content.
While we strive to adhere to the accepted guidelines and standards for accessibility and usability, it may not always be possible to do so in all areas of the website due to constraints imposed by third-party tools or technologies. Nevertheless, we are committed to continuously improving the accessibility of our website and welcome feedback from users.
