Starting 2026 with a little less shine
Generally speaking I've been pretty happy with Route 1. The last order was dispatched quickly and printed on quality stock at a competitive price. But the shine was taken off by the fact that the top and bottom of each bundle of prints were quite dirty. It's no big deal as they were for my own use, but I'd have been embarrassed if they'd been going to a client. Whether it's the guillotine or the packing bench needs a good wipe down, or the packer needs a new pair of gloves, I'm not sure!
(While I'm in carping - sorry, feedback - mode, the paper tape used to pack boxes is reinforced only along the length of the tape and had split on a couple of the boxes.)
It wouldn't stop me ordering again, but it just feels like a little more care is needed.

Hi Gareth,
Thank you for your honest feedback. I’m really glad to hear that the print quality and turnaround hit the mark, but I’m genuinely sorry that the finish was let down by those marks on the bundles.
You’re absolutely right; whether it’s for your own use or a client's, you should be able to unbox your print with total confidence. I’ve raised this directly with our Finishing and Packing teams today. We’ll be investigating the cause, whether it's debris from the guillotine bed or a need for more frequent glove changes during the packing process, to ensure this doesn't happen again.
Regarding the tape, thank you for flagging that. We switched to paper tape to be more eco-friendly, but it clearly needs to stand up to the weight of the boxes. I’ll be passing your comments to our Dispatch Team to review the durability of the reinforced tape we’re currently using.
We really appreciate you sticking with us, and I’ll make sure extra care is taken with your next order to get that 'shine' back!
Thanks
Sharon

Problem with artwork file resolved quickly by Bex . . .
I've used Route1 for many years now and they are always reliable and very quick to respond to queries. In all that time there have only been a couple of occasions where the job has gone back to production due to artwork errors etc (sometimes on my part) and I have, at all times, found the team very efficient and helpful.

Amazing People
I have been associated as a trader for the past twelve years. From print quality to delivery, these people stay connected with their customers; I have never had a complaint against them. Yes, only three times printing orders were not delivered on time. Earlier you would get a ten-pound voucher for the delay, but now all you get is an apology.
One more unusual thing about this company is that it charges VAT on A3-size flyers and laminated flyers, even though flyers are a VAT-exempt product — whether laminated or A3 size. Except for Root One, no other company charges VAT on these. They should consider this and stop charging VAT because small business owners like me cannot claim VAT refunds.
Other than that, Root One surprises me with its pricing, service quality, and very quick turnaround. I can even name it: compared to Solopress, Root One offers much better price and service.
I would recommend everyone try Root One at least once. 🙂

Hi Muhammad,
Thank you so much for being a loyal customer for the past twelve years! It is wonderful to hear that our pricing and service continue to stand out, especially when compared to others in the industry. ❤️
I hear you regarding the service recovery for delays. While we’ve moved toward more direct apologies and proactive upgrades to get jobs back on track, we truly value your feedback on how that impact feels on your end as a small business owner.
Regarding your point on VAT, I completely understand how frustrating it is when you can't reclaim it. At Route 1 Print, we follow the HMRC VAT Notice 701/10, which classifies flyers as standard-rated (20%) if they are larger than A4, or have a lamination/coating that makes them "durable." Because A3 flyers and laminated items are designed to last rather than be thrown away, they don't meet the HMRC 'zero-rated' criteria.
We really appreciate your recommendation and your long-term support. We’ll keep working hard to make sure those next orders are spot on and delivered right on time! 🙂
Thanks,
The Route 1 Print Team

There a slight issue with my roll up banner. I called and, although I said I could return it, they insisted on a free reprint. The print was fine but there was a slight issue with cassette. My thanks to George and especially Elina Jakobsone who sorted the free replacement swiftly and professionally. Always is at Route 1 print
