Route 1 Print expands with new investment and paper bag launch

Print Solutions

Route 1 Print has announced the latest enhancement to its production capabilities with the installation of new short to medium run packaging machine. The purchase forms part of the company’s wider investment strategy, with over £8 million invested in the past year to support innovation and growth across its product range.

With the addition of this investment in print technology, Route 1 Print has expanded its product portfolio with the launch of a new range of customisable paper bags, a timely and in demand solution for resellers working with retail, hospitality, and event based clients.

Available in four popular sizes and two premium kraft stock options, the new paper bags are fully recyclable, aligning with the increasing demand for environmentally conscious packaging. Each bag features a centrally placed, single sided CMYK print area, ideal for branding and promotional use. Reinforced handles and internal support patches add durability, making the bags as functional as they are stylish.

Jack Parks, head of Route 1 Print, commented: ‘The response to our paper bag launch has been fantastic, with orders coming in from the moment the products went live. It is clear that both our customers and their clients are looking for sustainable, well designed packaging options, particularly in the retail and events space. These bags strike the perfect balance between quality, sustainability and visual impact, and we're proud to offer another solution that helps our resellers expand their offering and grow their business.’

As with all its recent product launches, the company has provided reseller customers with unbranded sales sheets, comprehensive technical specifications, and ready to use marketing content for the new paper bags, equipping them with the tools needed to promote products confidently and professionally.

Route 1 Print’s new paper bags mark the first in a series of upcoming packaging and promotional product launches, with further investment and additions to the range set to debut in the coming months.
