Label Brady M6-31-427-YL vinyl self-laminating yellow/transparent matte 25.40 x 12.70(38.10) mm for cables Ø 4.00–8.10 mm permanent

Self-laminating vinyl cable label Brady M6-31-427-YL in yellow with transparent laminate and a matte finish. The printable portion measures 25.40 x 12.70 mm with a total label length of 38.10 mm, designed to wrap around and protect printed or written identification on wires and cables with diameters from 4.00 to 8.10 mm. Permanent adhesive secures the label to the cable surface for long-term identification in electrical, telecommunications and industrial installations.

Advantages

The self-laminating design provides extra protection for printed text or handwriting by covering the inscription with a transparent laminate, increasing resistance to abrasion, moisture and routine handling. The matte yellow printable area ensures good contrast for thermal transfer or handwriting, while the transparent laminate preserves legibility without glossy reflections. Permanent adhesive is formulated for secure bonding to common cable jacket materials, supporting durable identification in indoor and controlled outdoor environments.

Suitable for

• Labeling electrical wires and control cables in panels and junction boxes
• Identifying telecommunications and network cables
• Marking harnesses and bundled cable runs in industrial equipment
• Field labeling where protected, long-lasting identification is required

Key specifications

• Material: vinyl printable area with transparent self-lamination
• Finish: matte printable surface with clear laminate
• Printable area dimensions: 25.40 x 12.70 mm
• Total label length: 38.10 mm
• Cable diameter compatibility: 4.00–8.10 mm
• Adhesive type: permanent pressure-sensitive adhesive

How to use

Print or write the required identification on the matte yellow printable area using a compatible thermal transfer printer or permanent marker. Wrap the label around the cable so the printable area faces outward and the transparent laminate overlaps the printed surface. Press the laminate firmly against the label to ensure full contact of the adhesive and eliminate air gaps. Trim any excess if necessary to avoid loose ends.

Usage recommendations

For best results, apply labels to clean, dry cable jackets at room temperature. Allow newly applied labels to set for several hours before exposing to mechanical abrasion or moisture. Use thermal transfer ribbons compatible with vinyl substrates to maximize print durability. Avoid applying over fresh paint, oils or heavily textured surfaces that can reduce adhesive performance.
