Brady Vinyl Label Cartridge M21-500-595-YL .5in x 21ft

Brady M21-500-595-YL is a durable yellow vinyl label cartridge that prints black text for indoor and outdoor identification using BMP21-series and compatible printers.

Built for demanding environments, this Brady label cartridge supplies 21 feet of .5-inch-wide vinyl tape with a permanent adhesive designed to stick to rough, textured and cold surfaces. The cartridge includes both label stock and ribbon so it works out of the box with M210, M210-LAB, M211, BMP21-PLUS and BMP21-LAB printers. Text prints in high-contrast black on yellow, helping labels remain legible in low-light, dusty or industrial settings.

How well will these labels hold up outdoors and in harsh workplaces?

These vinyl labels are formulated to resist chemical exposure, oils, salt spray and everyday industrial grime. The material is highly pliable and the adhesive is high-tack, so labels stay bonded to uneven or textured substrates even after long-term outdoor exposure.

• Resists cleaners, detergents, greases and many industrial chemicals
• High-tack permanent adhesive stays affixed on rough surfaces
• Durable vinyl film tolerates salt spray and grime
• Designed for both indoor and outdoor identification tasks

What surfaces and applications are these labels best for?

The tape conforms to difficult surfaces such as painted cinder block, textured plastics, painted wood and paper-jacketed pipe. It’s ideal for equipment tags, asset marking, lab samples and general ID in facilities where ordinary labels fail.

• Adheres to painted walls, pipes and textured plastics
• Suitable for freezer and chilled environments
• Works well on blow-molded cases and rugged housings
• Great for tool, asset and equipment labeling in industrial settings

Which printers are compatible and what does the cartridge include?

How should I apply and store these labels to maximize lifespan?

For best adhesion, clean surfaces of loose dirt, oil and dust before applying; smooth, firm pressure helps the tape conform to textured areas. Store unopened cartridges away from direct sunlight and extreme heat to preserve adhesive and print quality.

• Clean and dry surface before application for best bond
• Apply with firm pressure and allow adhesive to set
• Store sealed cartridges in cool, dark place to extend life
• Avoid prolonged UV exposure for maximum color and adhesive longevity
