On the Pulse with Pat – March
/in News /by Gillian McCarthyWelcome to the first in our new series of blog posts. As the manager and owner of ALS Identify, our marketing manager, Gillian, has asked me to craft up a blog post once a month to keep all of our friends, followers, and customers up to date with what’s going on at ALS Identify.
Did you hear we’ve been shortlisted for the SFA Manufacturing Award for 2025? We’re delighted with the shortlist and we are eagerly awaiting the Awards night later this month. As part of our shortlisting, we were invited to exhibit at the SFA Business Connect event in the Kilashee Hotel in Naas last month. It was great to see the calibre of Irish businesses across so many categories.
Check out how busy out workshop is this month! Our teams have been building systems for food, beverage, packaging, and life sciences customers. It’s great to see so many projects coming in meaning that we need to keep expanding our teams. We’ve had 3 new hires already this year, welcoming Peter, Gillian, and Matt to the team and we have the hiring hat on again with three fantastic roles; Internal Sales Rep, Field Service Engineer and Project Engineer. If you know anyone who fits the bill, please share as we’re keen to get these roles filled quickly.
For the last couple months, we’ve been working on some exciting end of line automation projects with customers in the life sciences and food sectors. We’ve also built and installed some standard labelling systems for one of our regular food customers. Gillian shared a great video of this on our LinkedIn page.
Have you heard the latest from our partners? In February, Novexx launched the XTP 604, a state-of-the-art single card printer designed exclusively for printing cards. It is a single card printer with thermal transfer printing impresses with a reliable transport system that – in contrast to roll labels – guides the cards to be printed flat through the printing process. Thanks to the choice of two different stacking systems and options, it is suitable for a wide range of card formats. Furthermore, the XTP 604 can be equipped with RFID technology, which offer additional application possibilities in the field of identification.

Effective and more sustainable use of ribbons
/in News /by kieranTips on using ribbons more effectively and sustainably
Ink ribbons vary and don’t suit all label materials.
Many people don’t realise the importance of getting a good match between the ribbons and labels they use. If you don’t get it right, your labels will look faint or too black, print will rub off and you could be in line for an expensive surprise when your printhead burns out months or years before it should. If you work with chemicals, the print can disappear if splashed by chemical solvents.
ALS Identify can help, use our tips below or get in touch with your query:
We can send ribbon samples or alternatively we can visit your site to support you further.
Ribbon Save: More sustainable and cost efficient identification
Labels often get printed with only a small amount of information, such as expiration dates, barcodes or other variable data. In common printing methods such as thermal transfer printing, the ribbon and label material pass the printing process at the same time so ribbon consumption is the same as the label material, resulting in using excess ribbon. However when using the Ribbon Save function it ensures that only as much ribbon as necessary gets used, saving you both ribbon and money.
Our XPA 93X Print & Apply and many of our Label Printers have the Ribbon Save function.
