Working with Allflex’s successful sheep stock tag we assisted in further development of the tag to improve retention and house an RFID identification chip. Then through innovative design and utilising the core back two shot moulding and sequential gating principle, we were able to achieve an “Alternates” dual colour tag strip straight from tool. The purpose of the Alternates, or dual colour strip is to provide the farmer with a stock tag for management and a EID tag for DEFRA regulation in two different colours for each animal.

In addition to the tag development work, we also designed and developed a bespoke aluminium die cast applicator plier which can used to apply both the standard Allflex stock tag and the new QUICK EID Alternates tags. Both the tags and the pliers have become popular in the industry and have been in continuous production for many years.
