Brady Distributor: Heat Shrink Labels, PermaSleeve Sleeves & Wire Markers
Electro Insulation Corporation is an authorized Brady distributor, supplying genuine Brady wire and cable identification products to electricians, panel builders, OEMs, and MRO teams. Brady is one of the most recognized names in industrial identification, and its Brady heat shrink labels and Brady wire markers are standard equipment in control panels, machine shops, and wire harness assemblies across nearly every industry.
As a Brady distributor, Electro Insulation stocks the labels, sleeves, and cards that pair directly with Brady's most popular portable label printers, including the Brady M210, so your team can print and apply durable wire identification on demand, in the field or on the production floor.
About Brady Corporation
Brady Corporation designs and manufactures identification solutions used for wire marking, safety labeling, and facility identification. Brady's wire and cable label portfolio includes heat shrink sleeves, self-laminating wrap-around labels, flags, tags, and wire marker cards, each suited to different termination stages, environments, and wire gauges. Brady identification products are widely used in control panels, electrical enclosures, wire harnesses, and industrial automation systems where long-term legibility and durability are critical.
Brady Heat Shrink Labels
Brady heat shrink labels are a full-circle sleeve design that shrinks tightly around a wire or cable to create permanent, tamper-resistant identification. Because the label wraps completely around the wire, text remains legible from any viewing angle, unlike flag or wrap-around labels that can shift or curl over time.
Brady PermaSleeve Heat Shrink Labels
The Brady PermaSleeve heat shrink labels line is Brady's flagship polyolefin heat shrink sleeve product, engineered for speed, ease of use, and long-term permanence on wire and cable identification. PermaSleeve sleeves are available in multiple diameters and colors, with black-on-white and black-on-yellow among the most common configurations for electrical and control panel labeling.
PermaSleeve sleeves must be installed before wire termination, since they slide over the open end of the wire and are heat-shrunk into place once positioned, creating a permanent, non-adhesive identification method that holds up in wet, oily, or high-heat environments.
Brady M210 Heat Shrink Labels
The Brady M210 is one of Brady's most popular portable label printers, and Electro Insulation stocks the specific heat shrink label cartridges engineered to run in it. Brady M210 heat shrink labels are available in various widths and colors to match wire gauge and panel labeling standards, and the same cartridges are compatible across the broader M210 family of printers, including the M210-LAB, M211, BMP21-PLUS, and BMP21-LAB.
Brady Wire Markers
Beyond heat shrink sleeves, Electro Insulation's Brady offering includes the brand's broader Brady wire markers portfolio, giving you options to match the termination stage, wire gauge, and environment of each job:
| Marker Type | Installed | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Heat Shrink Sleeves (PermaSleeve) | Before termination | Permanent ID in wet, oily, or harsh environments |
| Self-Laminating Wrap-Around Labels | Before or after termination | Visible from all sides, clear laminate protects legend |
| Wire Marker Cards | Before termination | Machine tools, flat ribbon, general-purpose wire marking |
| Flags | After termination | Limited wire contact, large print area on already-attached wires |
| Tags | After termination | Large cables and bundles, tear and solvent resistant |
Choosing the Right Brady Wire Marker
Brady offers several base materials for its wire identification products, and selecting the right one depends on the environment your wiring will face:
- Polyolefin markers and sleeves hold up in wet environments and resist chemicals and high heat
- Vinyl wire markers offer strong oil and dirt resistance and work well on non-flat surfaces
- Industrial and military grade materials are built for harsh environment durability
- Low smoke, zero halogen materials are specified for applications with strict fire safety requirements
Electro Insulation's team can help you match the right Brady material, size, and color scheme to your wire gauge, environment, and panel labeling standard.
