ROUND UP

Identify any cable or component Wrap around labels in multiple colours equipped with a quality adhesive are the most popular solution to professionally identify cables and wires.Your identifying text or code can be printed multiple times on each label, enabling 360° information visibility. Very often self-laminating wrap around labels are used for extra durability and legibility. Brady offers self-laminating

labels and wrap arounds in great colour variety, both die-cut and on continuous rolls, all of them printable on location with a Brady Mobile Printer. Sleeves are a relocatable identification solution with strong durability and staying power. Slide them over a cable before ter- mination. After cable termination, slide the sleeves into position and heat shrink to fix them into place. Any Brady Mobile Printer can print a selection of quality sleeves in various colours that are halogen-free, diesel resistant or high temperature resistant to suit specific requirements and standards. Brady also provides on-site printable iden- tification solutions for components, like the Engraved Plate Replacement Label, which is made out of polyethylene foam and laminated polyester. It offers a raised profile similar to an engraved plate, but at a much lower cost and greatly increased flexibility. There are many ways to source the iden-

tification solutions you need, but the most flexible way is to print your own labels on-site and on demand. Modern portable label printers, such as the BMP21-PLUS and BMP41 Label Printer, or the BMP51 and BMP53 Label Maker, auto-calibrate so you can easily call on their entire versatile label range, including continuous labels and die-cuts, to identify any cable or component with great ease.
