Basis of Presentation | NOTE A — Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Brady Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company," "Brady," "we," or "our") without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of the Company, the foregoing statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of January 31, 2019 and July 31, 2018 , its results of operations and comprehensive income for the three and six months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018 , and cash flows for the six months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018 . The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2018 , has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts therein. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results in future periods may differ from the estimates. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statement presentation. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2018 . |

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | New Accounting Pronouncements In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-12 "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities," which simplifies and reduces the complexity of the hedge accounting requirements and better aligns an entity's financial reporting for hedging relationships with its risk management activities. The guidance is effective for interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. This new guidance will require a modified retrospective adoption approach to existing hedging relationships as of the adoption date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Goodwill and Other, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment," which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment. The new guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. All other goodwill impairment guidance will remain largely unchanged. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods thereafter; however, early adoption is permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company has not adopted this guidance, which will only impact the Company's consolidated financial statements if there is a future impairment of goodwill. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases," which replaces the current lease accounting standards. The update requires, among other items, lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from most leases on the balance sheet. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. The ASU allows for either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach and early adoption is permitted. The Company expects the new lease standard to increase its total assets and liabilities; however, it is evaluating the magnitude of the impact on its consolidated financial statements. The Company has formed a team to implement the new lease standard, implemented a third-party software program to track and store its leases, has accumulated data pertaining to its global lease obligations, and is currently evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("Topic 606"), which eliminates the transaction and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance and replaced it with a principles-based approach for determining revenue recognition. The new guidance requires revenue recognition when control of the goods or services transfers to the customer, replacing the existing guidance which requires revenue recognition when the risks and rewards transfer to the customer. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 (and related updates) effective August 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method to apply this guidance to all contracts at the date of initial application. Results for reporting periods beginning after August 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while comparative prior period amounts have not been restated and continue to be presented under accounting standards in effect in those periods. The results of applying Topic 606 were not material to the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, business processes, controls, or systems. Upon adoption, the Company recorded a cumulative adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of August 1, 2018, which resulted in a decrease to retained earnings of $2,137 , net of tax. The adjustment was primarily due to a change in timing of when revenue and the related costs for certain extended service-type warranties are recognized, as required per Topic 606. Refer to Note C "Revenue Recognition" for additional information and required disclosures under the new standard. |

Revenue Recognition [Abstract] | |
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Revenue Recognition The Company’s revenues are primarily from the sale of identification solutions and workplace safety products that are shipped and billed to customers. All revenue is from contracts with customers and is included in "Net sales" on the condensed consolidated statements of earnings. The Company considers the purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master sales or distributor agreements, to be its contracts with customers. For each contract, the Company considers the commitment to transfer products, each of which is distinct, to be its identified performance obligations. Timing The majority of the Company's revenue is earned and recognized at a point in time through ship-and-bill performance obligations, when control of the product is transferred to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment or delivery to the customer, depending on freight terms. To determine when control has transferred, the Company considers if there is a present right to payment; and if legal title, physical possession, and the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset has transferred to the customer. Once a product has shipped or has been delivered, the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the asset. Measurement Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the transfer of product, which is generally the price stated in the contract specific for each item sold, adjusted for the value of expected returns, discounts, rebates, or other allowances offered to the Company's customers as a reduction of the transaction price. Certain discounts and price assurances are fixed and known at the time of sale. Expected returns and other allowances are variable and are estimated using the expected value method based upon historical experience. Rebates offered to customers are retrospective and typically defined in the master sales or distributor agreements, and therefore are recorded using the most likely amount method based on the terms of the contract. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Payment Terms While the Company’s standard payment terms are net 30 days, the specific payment terms and conditions in its customer contracts vary. In some cases, customers pay for their goods at time of shipment or upon delivery; in other cases, after appropriate credit evaluation, an open credit line is granted and payment is due in arrears. Contracts with payment in arrears are recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as accounts receivable. Warranties The Company offers standard warranty coverage on substantially all products that it sells, and accounts for this standard warranty coverage as an assurance warranty. As such, no transaction price is allocated to the standard warranty, and the Company records a liability for product warranty obligations at the time of sale to a customer based upon historical warranty experience. The Company also sells extended warranty coverage for certain products, which it accounts for as service warranties. In most cases, the extended service warranty is included with the purchase of the product. In applying Topic 606, the Company considers the extended service warranty to be a separate performance obligation in the contract and allocates a portion of the transaction price to the service warranty based on the estimated stand-alone selling price. Under Topic 606, the extended warranty transaction price is initially recorded as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheet and recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the service warranty period. The deferred revenue is considered a contract liability as the Company has a right to payment at the time the product with the related extended service warranty is shipped or delivered and therefore, payment is received in advance of the Company's performance. The balance of contract liabilities as of January 31, 2019 , was $2,758 . This also represents the amount of unsatisfied performance obligations related to contracts that extend beyond one year. Of this amount, the Company expects to recognize 22% as revenue by the end of fiscal 2019, an additional 34% by the end of fiscal 2020, and the balance thereafter. Upon adoption of Topic 606, at the beginning of fiscal 2019, the contract liability balance was $2,796 . The current portion of contract liabilities and the non-current portion are included in “Other current liabilities” and “Other liabilities," respectively, on the consolidated balance sheet. During the three and six months ended January 31, 2019 , the Company recognized revenue of $314 and $622 , respectively, that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period, which was from the amortization of extended service warranties. Practical Expedients With the exception of the performance obligations related to the extended service warranties, the Company's contracts have an original expected duration of one year or less. As a result, the Company has elected to use the practical expedient to not disclose its remaining performance obligations for contracts that have an original expected length of one year or less. The Company applied the portfolio approach to its ship-and-bill contracts that have similar characteristics as it reasonably expects that the effects on the financial statements of applying this guidance to the portfolio of contracts would not differ materially from applying this guidance to the individual contracts within the portfolio. As the Company’s product sale contracts and standard payment terms have a duration of less than one year, it uses the practical expedient applicable to such contracts and does not consider the time value of money. Sales, use, value-add and other similar taxes assessed by governmental authorities and collected concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. The Company accounts for shipping and handling activities that occur after control of the related products transfers to the customer as fulfillment activities and are therefore recognized as revenue at time of shipping. The Company expenses incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract (e.g., sales commissions) when incurred because the amortization period is generally twelve months or less. Contract costs are expensed in "Selling, general, and administrative expenses" on the condensed consolidated statements of earnings. Refer to Note H, "Segment Information," for the Company's disaggregated revenue disclosure. |

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), Tax [Abstract] | |
Comprehensive Income (Loss) Note | NOTE F — Other Comprehensive Loss Other comprehensive loss consists of foreign currency translation adjustments, unrealized gains and losses from cash flow hedges and net investment hedges, and the unamortized gain on post-retirement plans, net of their related tax effects. The following table illustrates the changes in the balances of each component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, for the six months ended January 31, 2019 : Unrealized gain on cash flow hedges Unamortized gain on post-retirement plans Foreign currency translation adjustments Accumulated other comprehensive loss Beginning balance, July 31, 2018 $ 863 $ 3,302 $ (60,566 ) $ (56,401 ) Other comprehensive income (loss) before reclassification 47 (169 ) (3,528 ) (3,650 ) Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss (215 ) (299 ) — (514 ) Ending balance, January 31, 2019 $ 695 $ 2,834 $ (64,094 ) $ (60,565 ) The increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of January 31, 2019 , compared to July 31, 2018 , was primarily due to the appreciation of the U.S. dollar against certain other currencies during the six-month period. The foreign currency translation adjustments column in the table above includes the impact of foreign currency translation, including foreign currency translation on long-term intercompany notes and net investment hedges, net of tax. Of the total $514 in amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss, the $215 gain on cash flow hedges was reclassified into cost of products sold, and the $299 gain on post-retirement plans was reclassified into investment and other income on the condensed consolidated statement of earnings for the six months ended January 31, 2019 .

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | Segment Information The Company is organized and managed on a global basis within three operating segments, Identification Solutions, Workplace Safety, and People Identification ("People ID"), which aggregate into two reportable segments that are organized around businesses with consistent products and services: IDS and WPS. The Identification Solutions and People ID operating segments aggregate into the IDS reporting segment, while the WPS reporting segment is comprised solely of the Workplace Safety operating segment. The Company evaluates short-term segment performance based on segment profit and customer sales. Interest expense, investment and other income, income taxes, and certain corporate administrative expenses are excluded when evaluating segment performance. Net sales by segment and geographic region for the three and six months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows: Three months ended January 31, Six months ended January 31, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Net sales: ID Solutions Americas $ 138,324 $ 133,805 $ 284,114 $ 273,209 Europe 47,282 49,245 96,110 96,376 Asia 23,599 23,382 47,080 46,552 Total $ 209,205 $ 206,432 $ 427,304 $ 416,137 Workplace Safety Americas $ 24,332 $ 26,470 $ 49,083 $ 52,957 Europe 37,788 43,657 75,444 85,041 Australia 11,101 11,221 23,791 23,796 Total $ 73,221 $ 81,348 $ 148,318 $ 161,794 Total Company Americas $ 162,656 $ 160,275 $ 333,197 $ 326,166 Europe 85,070 92,902 171,554 181,417 Asia-Pacific 34,700 34,603 70,871 70,348 Total $ 282,426 $ 287,780 $ 575,622 $ 577,931 Segment profit for the three and six months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows: Three months ended January 31, Six months ended January 31, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Segment profit: ID Solutions $ 37,857 $ 34,088 $ 79,419 $ 69,925 Workplace Safety 4,661 7,055 10,202 13,500 Total Company $ 42,518 $ 41,143 $ 89,621 $ 83,425 The following is a reconciliation of segment profit to earnings before income taxes for the three and six months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018 : Three months ended January 31, Six months ended January 31, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Total profit from reportable segments $ 42,518 $ 41,143 $ 89,621 $ 83,425 Unallocated amounts: Administrative costs (6,488 ) (6,347 ) (12,969 ) (13,218 ) Investment and other income 1,377 1,056 1,360 1,272 Interest expense (717 ) (829 ) (1,429 ) (1,692 ) Earnings before income taxes $ 36,690 $ 35,023 $ 76,583 $ 69,787 |

Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company has an incentive stock plan under which the Board of Directors may grant nonqualified stock options to purchase shares of Class A Nonvoting Common Stock, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), or restricted and unrestricted shares of Class A Nonvoting Common Stock to employees and non-employee directors. Certain awards may be subject to pre-established performance goals. The options issued under the plan have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant and generally vest over a three-year service period, with one-third becoming exercisable one year after the grant date and one-third additional in each of the succeeding two years. Options issued under the plan, referred to herein as “service-based” stock options, generally expire 10 years from the date of grant. Restricted and unrestricted shares and RSUs issued under the plan have a grant date fair value equal to the average of the high and low trading price of the stock at the date of grant. Shares issued under the plan are referred to herein as either "service-based" or "performance-based" restricted shares and RSUs. The service-based RSUs granted under the plan generally vest over a three-year service period, with one-third becoming exercisable one year after the grant date and one-third additional in each of the succeeding two years. The performance-based RSUs granted under the plan generally vest at the end of a three-year service period provided specified financial performance metrics are met. As of January 31, 2019 , the Company has reserved 2,392,904 shares of Class A Nonvoting Common Stock for outstanding stock options, RSUs, and restricted shares and 3,679,698 shares of Class A Nonvoting Common Stock remain for future issuance of stock options, RSUs, and restricted and unrestricted shares under the plan. The Company uses treasury stock or will issue new Class A Nonvoting Common Stock to deliver shares under the plan. The Company recognizes the compensation cost of all share-based awards at the time it is deemed probable the award will vest. This cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. If it is determined that it is unlikely the award will vest, the expense recognized to date for the award is reversed in the period in which this is evident and the remaining expense is not recorded. Total stock-based compensation expense recognized by the Company during the three months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018 , was $3,603 ( $3,150 net of taxes) and $2,153 ( $1,614 net of taxes), respectively. Expense recognized during the six months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018 , was $7,805 ( $6,896 net of taxes) and $5,897 ( $4,423 net of taxes), respectively. As of January 31, 2019 , total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock-based compensation awards was $13,910 pre-tax, net of estimated forfeitures, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years. The Company has estimated the grant date fair value of its service-based stock option awards granted during the six months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018 , using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes valuation model are reflected in the following table: Six months ended January 31, Black-Scholes Option Valuation Assumptions 2019 2018 Expected term (in years) 6.20 6.07 Expected volatility 25.83 % 26.52 % Expected dividend yield 2.71 % 2.72 % Risk-free interest rate 3.01 % 1.96 % Weighted-average market value of underlying stock at grant date $ 43.96 $ 36.85 Weighted-average exercise price $ 43.96 $ 36.85 Weighted-average fair value of options granted during the period $ 9.70 $ 7.96 The Company uses historical data regarding stock option exercise behaviors to estimate the expected term of options granted based on the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s historical dividend payments and historical yield. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect on the grant date for the length of time corresponding to the expected term of the option. A summary of stock option activity under the Company’s share-based compensation plans for the six months ended January 31, 2019 , is presented below: Options Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term Aggregate Intrinsic Value Outstanding at July 31, 2018 2,504,633 $ 28.23 New grants 276,238 43.96 Exercised (799,529) 27.32 Forfeited or expired (24,809) 37.37 Outstanding at January 31, 2019 1,956,533 $ 30.71 6.7 $ 26,750 Exercisable at January 31, 2019 1,378,591 $ 26.87 5.7 $ 24,141 There were 1,378,591 and 1,962,475 options exercisable with a weighted average exercise price of $26.87 and $26.61 at January 31, 2019 and 2018 , respectively.

Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements In accordance with fair value accounting guidance, the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair market value are classified in one of the following categories: Level 1 — Assets or liabilities for which fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments that are accessible as of the reporting date. Level 2 — Assets or liabilities for which fair value is based on other significant pricing inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable. Level 3 — Assets or liabilities for which fair value is based on significant unobservable pricing inputs to the extent little or no market data is available, which result in the use of management's own assumptions. The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at January 31, 2019 and July 31, 2018 , according to the valuation techniques the Company used to determine their fair values. Inputs Considered As Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Fair Values Balance Sheet Classifications January 31, 2019 Trading securities $ 14,882 $ — $ 14,882 Other assets Foreign exchange contracts — 749 749 Prepaid expenses and other current assets Total Assets $ 14,882 $ 749 $ 15,631 Foreign exchange contracts $ — $ 17 $ 17 Other current liabilities Total Liabilities $ — $ 17 $ 17 July 31, 2018 Trading securities $ 14,383 $ — $ 14,383 Other assets Foreign exchange contracts — 1,077 1,077 Prepaid expenses and other current assets Total Assets $ 14,383 $ 1,077 $ 15,460 Foreign exchange contracts $ — $ 3 $ 3 Other current liabilities Total Liabilities $ — $ 3 $ 3 The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument: Trading securities: The Company’s deferred compensation investments consist of investments in mutual funds. These investments were classified as Level 1 as the shares of these investments trade with sufficient frequency and volume to enable us to obtain pricing information on an ongoing basis. Foreign exchange contracts: The Company’s foreign exchange contracts were classified as Level 2 as the fair value was based on the present value of the future cash flows using external models that use observable inputs, such as interest rates, yield curves and foreign exchange rates. See Note K, “Derivatives and Hedging Activities,” for additional information. There have been no transfers of assets or liabilities between the fair value hierarchy levels outlined above during the six months ended January 31, 2019 . In addition, the Company had no significant measurements of assets or liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis subsequent to their initial recognition during the six months ended January 31, 2019 . The Company’s financial instruments, other than those presented in the disclosures above, include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other liabilities. The fair values of these financial instruments approximated carrying values because of their short-term nature. The estimated fair value of the Company’s short-term and long-term debt obligations based on the quoted market prices for similar issues and on the current rates offered for debt of similar maturities was $53,847 and $55,707 at January 31, 2019 and July 31, 2018 , respectively, as compared to the carrying value of $51,610 and $52,618 at January 31, 2019 and July 31, 2018 , respectively. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivatives and Hedging Activities | Derivatives and Hedging Activities The Company utilizes forward foreign exchange currency contracts to reduce the exchange rate risk of specific foreign currency denominated transactions. These contracts typically require the exchange of a foreign currency for U.S. dollars at a fixed rate at a future date, with maturities of less than 18 months , which qualify as cash flow hedges or net investment hedges under the accounting guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The primary objective of the Company’s foreign currency exchange risk management program is to minimize the impact of currency movements due to transactions in other than the respective subsidiaries’ functional currency and to minimize the impact of currency movements on the Company’s net investment denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. To achieve this objective, the Company hedges a portion of known exposures using forward foreign exchange currency contracts. As of January 31, 2019 and July 31, 2018 , the notional amount of outstanding forward exchange contracts was $ 17,010 and $32,667 , respectively. The Company hedges a portion of known exposures using forward exchange contracts. Main exposures are related to transactions denominated in the Euro, Canadian dollar, and Mexican peso. Generally, these risk management transactions will involve the use of foreign currency derivatives to minimize the impact of currency movements on non-functional currency transactions. Hedge effectiveness is determined by how closely the changes in fair value of the hedging instrument offset the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. Hedge accounting is permitted only if the hedging relationship is expected to be highly effective at the inception of the hedge and on an on-going basis. Gains or losses on the derivative related to hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings. Cash Flow Hedges The Company has designated a portion of its foreign exchange contracts as cash flow hedges and recorded these contracts at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For these instruments, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income ("OCI") and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. As of January 31, 2019 and 2018 , unrealized gains of $887 and losses of $856 have been included in OCI, respectively. Balances are reclassified from OCI to earnings when the hedged transactions impact earnings. For the three months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018 , the Company reclassified gains of $240 and losses of $158 from OCI into earnings, respectively. For the six months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018 , the Company reclassified gains of $287 and losses of $182 from OCI into earnings, respectively. At January 31, 2019 , the U.S. dollar equivalent of these outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts totaled $ 13,623 , including contracts to sell Euros and Canadian dollars, and contracts to buy Mexican pesos. Net Investment Hedges As of April 30, 2017, €45 million of Euro-denominated senior unsecured notes were designated as net investment hedges to hedge portions of the Company's net investment in European operations. The Company’s foreign denominated debt obligations are valued under a market approach using publicized spot prices. Non-Designated Hedges The Company recognized losses of $10 and $43 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2019 , respectively, and losses of $2 and gains of $20 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2018 , respectively, in “Investment and other income” on the condensed consolidated statements of earnings related to non-designated hedges.

Income Taxes [Abstract] | |
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] | Income Taxes The effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended January 31, 2019 , were 20.3% and 21.8% , respectively. The Company expects its ongoing annual effective income tax rate to be in the mid-20 percent range based on its current global business mix. The effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended January 31, 2019 , were lower than the expected income tax rate due to the favorable settlement of a foreign income tax matter, partially offset by an increase in the valuation allowance against foreign tax credit carryforwards. The effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended January 31, 2018 , were 87.8% and 56.9% , respectively. The income tax rates were significantly impacted by the recognition of additional tax expense of $21,060 primarily due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Reform Act") passed in December 2017. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has issued rules that allowed for a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Tax Reform Act to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts. Provisional adjustments were recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2018.
