BURROWS PAPER CORPORATION

Franklin, OH

This state-of-the-art rigid packaging facility located in Franklin, OH contains the widest 8-color flexographic printing press in the United States. The manufacturing and office facility is approximately 275,304 sq. ft.

CASCO primarily focused on comparing the engineering factors, advantages & disadvantages, and estimated costs associated with remodeling an existing facility versus a proposed Greenfield site. Many business factors such as: Low Cost, Positive Image with Maximum Exposure and Long Term Maximum Residual Value were taken into consideration.

Our scope of work included the following key items:

Facility Relocation Analysis: CASCO conducted accelerated feasibility studies relating to the relocation of existing operations for the Burrows Paper Corporation, Packaging Group.
Real Estate Search that established project criteria and negotiated state and local economic benefits.
Preparation of Schematic/Design Development drawings.
Preparation of “Request for Proposal” for Design/Build services to General Contractors, including Phase One Environmental Assessment, Geotechnical Engineering, Architectural and Engineering Services, Site Work and Specialty equipment.
Construction Observation and final punch list of completed facility.

CASCO worked with General Contractor Bunnell Hill Construction to create the environmentally friendly facility. As an environmentally sound alternative to polystyrene, the "F-flute" is the thinnest grade of corrugated material available. The weight of this material is particularly significant in meeting the environmental goal of an overall weight reduction in waste. The thin, fluted material has also been praised for its stacking strength, low weight and stiffness, as well as its insulating and shock-absorbing properties.

This facility, containing corrugating, die-cutting and 8-color process printing equipment, has advanced Burrows’ leadership position in the supply of specialty packaging to the quick service restaurant industry.
