Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition	Note 3 – Revenue Recognition We derive revenue from the sale of (i) hardware, including digital color label printers and specialty OEM printing systems, portable data acquisition systems and airborne printers used in the flight deck and cabin of military, commercial and business aircraft, (ii) related supplies required in the operation of the hardware, (iii) repairs and maintenance of hardware and (iv) service agreements. Revenues disaggregated by primary geographic markets and major product types are as follows: Primary geographical markets: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended (In thousands) July 31, August 1 20 July 31, August 1, United States $ 17,181 $ 17,866 $ 33,874 $ 37,655 Europe 7,826 6,314 16,425 13,764 Canada 1,491 1,452 3,037 2,880 Asia 1,964 831 3,049 1,841 Central and South America 995 914 1,756 1,868 Other 388 281 782 570 Total Revenue $ 29,845 $ 27,658 $ 58,923 $ 58,578 Major product types: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended (In thousands) July 31, August 1, July 31, August 1, Hardware $ 7,878 $ 8,439 $ 15,525 $ 17,354 Supplies 18,678 17,140 36,888 36,258 Service and Other 3,289 2,079 6,510 4,966 Total Revenue $ 29,845 $ 27,658 $ 58,923 $ 58,578 Contract Assets and Liabilities We normally do not have contract assets, which are primarily unbilled accounts receivable that are conditional on something other than the passage of time. Our contract liabilities, which represent billings in excess of revenue recognized, are related to advanced billings for purchased service agreements and extended warranties. Contract liabilities were $324,000 and $285,000 at July 31, 2021 and January 31, 202 1 Contract Costs We recognize an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if we expect the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. We have determined that certain costs related to obtaining sales contracts for our aerospace printer products meet the requirement to be capitalized. In the second quarter of the current year, we extended the remaining useful life of these deferred costs from 6 years to 20 years and changed the amortization method from units sold to the straight-line method. We believe these changes, based on the life of the aircraft under the applicable sales contracts, appropriately reflects a more systematic and rational approach. This change is being treated as a change in accounting estimate that is effected by a change in accounting principle. The impact on net income was immaterial for the six month period ended July 31, 2021. The balance of these contract assets at January 31, 2021 was million and million in contract costs which will be amortized over milli on million is reported in other current assets and $ million is reported in other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Net Income Per Common Share	Note 4 – Net Income Per Common Share Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares and, if dilutive, common equivalent shares, determined using the treasury stock method for stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units outstanding during the period. A reconciliation of the shares used in calculating basic and diluted net income per share is as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended July 31, August 1, July 31, August 1, Weighted Average Common Shares Outstanding – Basic 7,208,834 7,105,241 7,176,940 7,089,169 Effect of Dilutive Options, Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units 119,724 17,354 120,178 24,359 Weighted Average Common Shares Outstanding – Diluted 7,328,558 7,122,595 7,297,118 7,113,528 For the three and six months ended July 31, 2021, the diluted per share amounts do not reflect weighted average common equivalent shares outstanding , ,

(“Honeywell”) from RITEC intangibles we changed the amortization method which was based on revenue with a remaining life -year remaining life. We believe these changes, based on the life of the aircraft related to these intangibles, appropriately reflects a more systematic and rational approach to distributing the cost of these intangibles over their useful lives. The change in the amortization of the Honeywell customer contract relationship intangibles is being treated as a change in accounting estimate and the change in the amortization of the RITEC customer contract relationship intangibles is being treated as a change in accounting estimate that is effected by a change in accounting principle. The changes in amortization resulted in a per diluted share) increase to net income for the six-month period ended July 31, 2021. There were no impairments to intangible assets during the periods ended July 31, 2021 and August 1, 2020.

The A&R Credit Agreement, which we entered into on July, 30, 2020, amended and restated the Credit Agreement dated as of February 28, 2017 (the “Prior Credit Agreement”) by and among us, ANI ApS, TrojanLabel and the Lender. Immediately prior to the closing of the Amendment, we repaid $2.6 million in principal amount of the term loan outstanding under the A&R Credit Agreement, resulting in an outstanding balance of the term loan of $10.0 million and no amount drawn and outstanding under the revolving credit facility under the A&R Credit Agreement. The Amended Credit Agreement provides for (i) a term loan in the principal amount of $10.0 million, and (ii) a $22.5 million revolving credit facility available for general corporate purposes. At the closing of the Amendment, we borrowed the entire $10.0 million term loan which was used to refinance, in full, the outstanding term loan under the A&R Credit Agreement. Under the Amended Credit Agreement, revolving credit loans may continue to be borrowed, at our option, in U.S. Dollars or, subject to certain conditions, Euros, British Pounds, Canadian Dollars or Danish Kroner. At July 31, 2021, there is no balance outstanding on the revolving line of credit and the entire $22.5 million is available for borrowing. There was no interest incurred for the three and six month period ended July 31, 2021 and $94,000 and $166,000 of interest was incurred on this obligation and included in interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated income statement for the three and six month periods ended August 1, 2020, respectively. The Amended Credit Agreement requires that the term loan be paid as follows: the principal amount of each quarterly installment required to be paid on the last day of each of our fiscal quarters ending on or about April 30, 2021 through January 31, 2022 is $187,500; the principal amount of each quarterly installment required to be paid on the last day of each of our fiscal quarters ending on or about April 30, 2022 through January 31, 2023 is $250,000; the principal amount of each quarterly installment required to be paid on the last day of each of our fiscal quarters ending on or about April 30, 2023 through January 31, 2025 is $312,500; the principal amount of each quarterly installment required to be paid on the last day of each of our fiscal quarters ending on or about April 30, 2025 and July 31, 2025 is $500,000; and the entire remaining principal balance of the term loan is required to be paid on September 30, 2025. We may voluntarily prepay the term loan, in whole or in part, from time to time without premium or penalty (other than customary breakage costs, if applicable). We may repay borrowings under the revolving credit facility at any time without premium or penalty (other than customary breakage costs, if applicable), but in any event no later than September 30, 2025, at which time any outstanding revolving loans will be due and payable in full, and the revolving credit facility will terminate. We may reduce or terminate the revolving line of credit at any time, subject to certain thresholds and conditions, without premium or penalty. The Amended Credit Agreement includes an uncommitted accordion provision under which the term loan and/or revolving credit facility commitments may be increased in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding $10.0 million, subject to obtaining the agreement of the Lender and the satisfaction of certain other conditions. The interest rates under the A&R Credit Agreement were modified in the Amended Credit Agreement as follows: the term loan and revolving credit loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either (a) the LIBOR Rate as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement (or in the case of revolving credit loans denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, the applicable quoted rate), plus a margin that varies within a range of 1.60% to 2.30% based on our consolidated leverage ratio, or (b) a fluctuating reference rate equal to the highest of (i) the federal fund rate plus 0.50%, (ii) Lender’s As under the A&R Credit Agreement, the loans under the Amended Credit Agreement are subject to certain mandatory prepayments, subject to various exceptions, from (a) net cash proceeds from certain dispositions of property, (b) net cash proceeds from certain issuances of equity, (c) net cash proceeds from certain issuances of additional debt and (d) net cash proceeds from certain extraordinary receipts. Amounts repaid under the revolving credit facility may be reborrowed, subject to continued compliance with the Amended Credit Agreement. No amount of the term loan that is repaid may be reborrowed. We must comply with various customary financial and non-financial non-financial The Lender is entitled to accelerate repayment of the loans and to terminate its revolving credit commitment under the Amended Credit Agreement upon the occurrence of any of various customary events of default, which include, among other events, the following (which are subject, in some cases, to certain grace periods): failure to pay when due any principal, interest or other amounts in respect of the loans, breach of any of our covenants or representations under the loan documents, default under any other of our or our subsidiaries’ significant indebtedness agreements, a bankruptcy, insolvency or similar event with respect to us or any of our subsidiaries, a significant unsatisfied judgment against us or any of our subsidiaries, or a change of control. Our obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement continue to be secured by substantially all of our personal property assets (including a pledge of the equity interests held in ANI ApS, in our wholly-owned German subsidiary AstroNova GmbH, and in our wholly-owned French subsidiary AstroNova SAS), subject to certain exceptions, and by a mortgage on our owned real property in West Warwick, Rhode Island.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management	Note 9 – Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management In 2017, we entered into a cross-currency interest rate swap Our cross-currency interest rate swap agreement effectively modified our exposure to interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk by converting our floating-rate debt denominated in U.S. Dollars on our Danish subsidiary’s books to a fixed-rate debt denominated in Danish Kroner for the term of the loan, thus reducing the impact of interest-rate and foreign currency exchange rate changes on future interest expense and principal repayments. This swap involved the receipt of floating rate amounts in U.S. Dollars in exchange for fixed-rate interest payments in Danish Kroner, as well as exchanges of principal at the inception spot rate, over the life of the term loan. The interest rate swap agreement effectively modified our exposure to interest rate risk by effectively converting our floating-rate term-loan debt to fixed-rate debt, thus reducing the impact of interest-rate changes on future interest expense. This swap involved the receipt of floating rate amounts in U.S. Dollars in exchange for fixed rate payments in U.S. dollars over the life of the term loan. As a direct result of the terms of the Lender’s conditions for entry into the A&R Credit Agreement, on July 30, 2020, we terminated these two swaps. The terms of the A&R Credit Agreement caused those swaps to cease to be effective hedges of the underlying exposures. The termination of the swaps was contracted immediately prior to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2021 at a cash cost of approximately $0.7 million which was settled in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Upon termination, the remaining balance of $58,000 in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the cross-currency interest rate swap was reclassified into earnings as the forecasted foreign currency interest payments will not occur. The remaining balance in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the interest rate swap of $ 0.2 million is being amortized into earnings through the original term of the hedge relationship as the underlying floating interest rate debt still exists.

Employee Retention Credit Disclosure [Abstract]
Employee Retention Credit	Note 10 – Employee Retention Credit The CARES Act provides an employee retention credit received As a result of the foregoing legislation, we are eligible to claim a refundable tax credit against the employer share of Social Security taxes equal to seventy percent (70%) of the qualified wages that we paid to our employees between December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2021. Qualified wages are limited to $10,000 per employee per calendar quarter in 2021 for a maximum ERC per employee of $7,000 per calendar quarter in 2021. Since there is no US GAAP guidance for for-profit We evaluated our eligibility for the ERC in the second quarter of calendar year 2021. In order to qualify for the ERC, we needed to experience a 20% reduction in gross receipts from either (1) the same quarter in calendar year 2019 or (2) the immediately preceding quarter to the corresponding calendar quarter in 2019. We determined that we qualified for the employee retention credit under the first scenario for wages paid in calendar year 2020 and the first calendar quarter of 2021. We are amending certain payroll tax filing and will apply for a refund of $3.1 million. We have recorded this amount as a receivable within the prepaid expenses and other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2021. The $3.1 million of ERCs was recognized as a reduction in employer payroll taxes and allocated to the financial statement captions from which the employee’s taxes were originally incurred. As a result, we recorded a reduction in expenses of $1.7 million in cost of revenue, $0.8 million in selling and marketing, $0.3 million in research and development and $0.3 million in general and administrative in the accompanying condensed consolidated income statement for the three and six month periods ended July 31, 2021.
