Brady-style asset, wire and bin label examples

When free Brady label software is enough

Brady Workstation is built for industrial ID. It's good at that.

But a lot of labels don't need it. An asset tag with a name and a barcode. A wire marker with a short code. A bin label with a SKU. Those are plain faces, and any thermal or laser printer can put them on a sticker.

For those, you can design the label once in the browser and export it. No install, no license.

How to design Brady-style labels free

1. Open https://app.mylabelmaker.com. No signup.
2. Set the size to the sticker or roll you actually have.
3. Add the name, size, Barcode, or QR code that belongs on this label.
4. Print on a thermal printer or download a PNG or PDF. If you have a whole list, load it from Excel or Google Sheets.

When to stay in Brady Workstation

Stay with Brady software when your printer only accepts Brady tapes, or when you need their symbol libraries.

Use the free app for generic thermal or laser labels you can export.

The editor doesn't print straight to a Brady printer, and it doesn't know Brady's cartridge sizes or materials. A PNG or PDF is a picture of the label. Whether your Brady machine or its software can print that file is up to Brady, so check with your own model before you design a hundred labels for it.

Print asset labels from Excel

You can print from Excel. Put each name, SKU, or code on its own row.

In the app, click Data and load the file. Click a text box, then Variables, and pick the column, or map it into a barcode or a QR code. Preview one row, tick the ones you want in Edit row, then Print the stack. Print from a spreadsheet works once your headers match. Need bars for a number you already have? That's the barcode label maker.

For more on each job: inventory labels covers bins, shelves and asset tags, and network cable labels covers wraps, flags and port IDs.

Print or save the file

If you have a Zebra, print from this computer with Browser Print at the printer's DPI.

Everyone else can download PNG, JPEG, SVG, PDF, or ZPL. A JSON file keeps the editable master so you can open it again later.

For a plain asset or bin label, you don't need industrial software, just the right size and a file you can print.
