Fewer jams. Fewer rejects. Less downtime.
Three things separate a print run that ships on time from one that doesn’t — and they’re the three things we obsess over.
Zero-downtime support
Printer down on the line? Our engineers diagnose thermal printheads, sensors and mechanisms with same-day callouts.
Right ribbon, every time
Wax, resin or wax-resin — we match ribbon chemistry to your label stock so print heads last longer.
Labels that scan first time
Barcode-verified labels and print profiles set up correctly from the start.
Everything between your printer and a finished label.
Consumables, software and hands-on engineering — sourced and supported from one place.
Thermal Transfer Ribbons
Wax, resin and wax-resin ribbons for every label material.
Labels & Label Stock
Blank and pre-printed labels in paper, polypropylene and polyester.
Labelling Software
Award winning Label design and print-management software connected to your systems.
Printer Repair & Servicing
Printhead replacement, sensor calibration and preventative servicing.
Trusted by the people who can't afford a print run to fail.
Computade matched a resin ribbon to a polypropylene label we'd been struggling with for months — no more smudged barcodes at despatch.
Operations Manager
Contract Packing Facility
An engineer was on-site within two days to replace a printhead. That's the fastest turnaround we've had from any supplier.
Warehouse Supervisor
Distribution Centre
Simon set up our labelling software to pull straight from the WMS. What used to be a manual job now just works.
Logistics Manager
Food Packing Site

Run by an engineer, not a call centre.
Computade Ltd was founded by Simon Galbraith after years spent fixing the same thermal printer faults for packing and logistics operators — usually caused by the wrong ribbon, not a broken machine.
Stop guessing which ribbon fits.
