Yellow and black Brady M211 portable Bluetooth label printer — Brady M211

THE PRINTER BEHIND YOUR LABELS

Meet your M211.

LabelCraft brings label design to your Mac and connects to the Brady M211 over Bluetooth. The compact printer uses M21 cartridges, with materials for cable wraps, flags, sleeves, and everyday identification.

LabelCraft is the Mac app. The printer and label cartridges are sold separately.

HEAT-SHRINK SLEEVES · B-342

A tidy finish for each wire.

THE DETAILS THAT MAKE IT USEFUL

Built for the way
you work at your desk.

Make a design once.
Keep it ready for the next project.

Clear, considered layouts

Multiline text, adjustable type, bold, and left, center or right alignment. Automatic fitting helps keep your text inside the printing area.

A library that stays local

Save, duplicate, and rename designs on your Mac. Unsaved edits stay with their label when you switch projects or close the app.

Useful beyond the printer

Export PNG artwork or a physical-size PDF guide. Editable JSON exports let you move designs between libraries.

The right stock for the job

Search 99 M21 profiles by part number, material, or size. Designs remember the selected cartridge; connected printers are checked for a match.

Room to recover

Library backups preserve previous versions. Recover unsaved drafts, undo a library deletion, and keep your useful designs close at hand.

Placement you can tune

Printer Setup & Calibration helps adjust placement for a printer and cartridge. Start with one test label whenever you change stock.
