BRADY BMP51/BMP53/M511 zelflaminerende vinyl labelset, 25,4 mm x 6,4 m, wit/transparant, B-499

For cable and wire identification that must survive harsh environments, the BRADY B-499 self-laminating vinyl label cartridge stands apart from standard labels by combining a white printable zone with a clear overlaminate in a single die-cut format. Once printed on a BMP51, BMP53, or M511 thermal transfer printer, each label wraps around the cable and the transparent tail seals the printed area against abrasion, oils, water, and UV exposure. This cartridge delivers 252 labels on a 6.4 m roll, each 25.4 mm wide with a 9.53 mm printable height, optimized for cable diameters from 4.06 to 8.13 mm. The permanent acrylic adhesive bonds reliably from 0°C upward, and the finished label remains legible from -40°C to 70°C. UL Recognized and CSA Accepted, it is a practical choice for panel builders, network technicians, and maintenance crews who need durable, legible wire marking without lamination steps.

In daily use

Load the cartridge into a Brady BMP51, BMP53, or M511 printer, design your wire markers using Brady Workstation or the printer’s built-in software, and print. The matte white printable area accepts crisp thermal transfer text and barcodes. After printing, peel the label and wrap it around the cable; the translucent tail adheres over the printed portion, creating a sealed, legible marker. The permanent adhesive holds on typical wire insulation, and the vinyl conforms without lifting. For best results, apply at temperatures above 0°C and store unused cartridges at 21°C and 50% relative humidity to preserve shelf life up to two years.
