Twenty years in packing taught us what actually goes wrong.
Computade Ltd exists because most “printer problems” are really ribbon, label or setup problems — and most suppliers only sell one piece of that puzzle.

Printer brands supported
Founded by Simon Galbraith to fix the whole print chain.
Before starting Computade, Simon spent years on the supplier and service side of thermal printing — watching packing operations lose hours to smudged barcodes, snapped ribbons and printers written off as “faulty” when the real issue was a mismatched ribbon or a dirty sensor.
Computade Ltd was built to close that gap: ribbons, labels, labelling software and repair, supplied and supported by people who understand how they all fit together on a real packing line.

Keep labels printing, first time, every time.
We measure ourselves on one thing: whether your printer is running and your labels are scanning.
Consumables matched to your setup
We ask what printer, label stock and environment you're running before recommending a ribbon.
Repair engineers, not a returns desk
Faults diagnosed and fixed by engineers who work on thermal printheads daily.
Software that talks to your systems
Labelling software configured to integrate with your WMS, ERP or scales.
One supplier, one conversation
Ribbons, labels, software and repair from a single point of contact.
Want a second opinion on your current setup?
Send us your printer model and label spec — we’ll tell you honestly if there’s a better-fitting ribbon or setup available.
