Our Document Scanning Process
  • We follow a meticulous document scanning process, starting from prepping documents and readying them so that there are no snags during the scan.
  • They are then sorted, stored in labeled boxes and shipped to our nearest scanning facility.
  • After scanning, the images are saved in the appropriate format. 
  • They then go through a thorough quality check to address issues such as discoloration or to reconfigure their orientation. 
  • Indexing comes next—ensuring your documents are made easy to search and find using tags and logical naming conventions.
  • Once everything is scanned, documents are either shredded based on your business records retention and management policy or shipped back to you for storage.

Scanning Project FAQs

    A standard banker box of documents holds between 2,000 and 2,500 pages. A large box holds between 4,000 and 4,500 pages. Both numbers vary based on how tightly packed the boxes are and how many folders are in the box.  
    You can estimate between 150 and 200 pages per inch for paper on a shelf or in file cabinets. That number varies based on how tightly packed the shelves or drawers are and how many folders are in them. 
    Remember that a duplex or two-sided page counts as two pages. Grab a few folders and get a rough estimate of the percentage of the two-sided pages in your collection. Then, multiply that percentage by the total number of pages.  
    These numbers serve as an estimate of the total number of pages you need to be scanned. So, while they are not exact, they do give us a pretty good idea about your overall volume.

    Letter and legal paper documents cost between $0.07 and $0.15 per page to scan. This number varies for a number of reasons. 
     
    ●	The volume of pages you need to be scanned 
    ●	Amount of prep work involved with getting your paper ready for scanning 
    ●	Do the documents require optical character recognition (OCR) or redaction? 
    ●	Is this document scanning job a rush project? 
    ●	How will the files be indexed or named? 
    ●	Will the documents be destroyed or returned? 
    ●	Will the electronic records be formatted and imported into your document management system

    You can choose to save your scanned files in PDF or TIFF formats. 
     
    TIFF: TIFF can be grayscale or color. TIFF files are smaller than PDF, so they take up less virtual storage space, and you can view them faster because they're quicker to index. Adding signature forms, new pages, amendments, and more is easier on a single-page TIFF compared to a PDF. Consider TIFF as your go-to format if you plan to edit digital images in a working storage format. 
     
    PDF: PDF is a preferred file format for scanned documents thanks to its compatibility with many different applications. It also meets legal requirements for signature compliance. Lastly, PDFs are viewable on any type of operating system (OS).
