Brady People ID M21-500-488 is a white polyester self-adhesive printer label supplied on a roll with a 1.27 cm label width and 6.4 m roll length. Designed for use with compatible label printers, the polyester face material offers resistance to water, abrasion, oils, alcohols and common laboratory chemicals, making these labels suitable for durable identification tasks where long-lasting legibility and adhesion are required.

Advantages

The polyester construction provides excellent chemical and heat resistance while maintaining print clarity and scratch resistance. The self-adhesive backing ensures reliable application to a variety of surfaces including plastics, metals and cable jackets. Because the material is designed for professional labeling systems, it supports clear barcode and alphanumeric printing and remains readable in demanding environments.

Suitable for

• Asset tracking and inventory labeling
• Cable and component identification in datacom and industrial settings
• Laboratory sample and equipment labeling where chemical resistance is needed
• Barcode labels for scanners and automated systems

Key specifications

• Face material: white polyester with high chemical and abrasion resistance
• Adhesive: permanent pressure-sensitive adhesive formulated for stable adhesion
• Label width: 1.27 cm
• Roll length: 6.4 m
• Print compatibility: designed for thermal transfer/compatible label printers

How to use

Install the roll in a compatible label printer following the printer manufacturer’s loading instructions. Use an appropriate thermal transfer ribbon and printer settings for polyester media to achieve optimal print contrast and adhesion. Apply labels to clean, dry surfaces; press firmly to ensure full contact between the adhesive and substrate. For curved or textured surfaces such as cables, align the label and smooth from center to edges to avoid trapped air.

Usage recommendations

For best results in laboratory and industrial environments, select a thermal transfer ribbon matched to polyester substrates and verify printer printhead temperature and speed settings. Store unopened rolls in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and apply labels to surfaces free of oil, dust and moisture to maximize longevity.
