Review on Brady Authentic (M21-375-595-OR) All-Weather Vinyl Label For Indoor/Outdoor Identification by Jonathan Clark

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great product for labels that run out too quickly

The actual product is undoubtedly a 5 star product. The labels are durable, easy to read and relatively easy to apply. (If you have big hands or fat fingers, removing the label from the liner can be frustrating as there isn't much tab. Of course, the smaller the tab, the larger the label area.) Users should be aware of what the label needs to do separate from the support pads with your fingernail. So if you cut your nails or keep them short, printing the label can actually cause irritation and irritation. The only reason I didn't give this 5 star rating is because these cartridges don't hold a lot of label tape and the manufacturer doesn't provide any estimates of how long the tape will last before it runs out. Ease of use is tied to the cartridge system and there is a limit to how much Brady tape can fit in a cartridge. I bought the right product, I only bought 1 cartridge. However, the amount of lab tape you get (especially in a primary cartridge, such as the one with black writing on a white label) seems a bit small for the price. I only wish Brady had a system where active users could recycle blank tapes for a discount on future tape purchases. The only downside to the star is the relatively small amount of product you get for the price. The product itself has 5 stars. One final note, let's say you're using them for permanent or long-term markers. The adhesive that Brady uses for their labels is VERY effective and once cured (about 60 to 75 seconds) will leave a mark on any surface to be labeled.

Pros
  • Labels with black text on orange tape
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
