The Benefits of Large Format Scanning Services
Accessibility
When your documents are scanned, they will be indexed by important identifiers. You can index your files by name, date, job ID, or other important identifiers you choose. Indexing enables you to find and share your digital documents using a keyword search. This gives you greater accessibility, eliminates wasted time, and allows for centralized digital storage.
Remote Access
Once your large format documents are digitized, they can be accessed from anywhere. This will greatly benefit organizations with multiple offices or remote teams.

Large format documents like blueprints and drawings tend to become damaged as they are handled and used. Digital documents create a permanent record that does not fade or deteriorate over time. Digital documents can also be easily backed up to prevent data loss.

What is considered a large format document?
Any document that is larger than the standard-sized paper (8.5″ x 11″) is considered large format. Common examples include blueprints, architectural drawings, engineering diagrams/drawings, maps, schematics, sketches and artwork, building plans/drawings, etc.
Is there any prep work that needs to be done before scanning my large format documents?
Your large format documents need to be removed from tubes, racks, rubberbands, or any other type of binding.
How long will a large format scanning service take?
Large format documents will take a little bit longer than a normal document scanning project because of their size. A large flatbed scanner can only handle one document at a time. Additionally, our service providers know that these types of documents need special care and proper handling to avoid rips and tears during the process.
How much will a large format scanning service cost?
The price will depend on numerous factors such as document condition and any prep work, the required resolution, indexing, how many you have, and any other special requests such as expediated turnaround time.
How are large format documents scanned?
Oversized flatbed scanners are necessary for handling large-format documents. Known as wide-format or large-format scanners, these machines can scan such documents in a single pass. These wide-format scanners are capable of providing the necessary resolution needed for large-format documents, ensuring the preservation of every intricate detail during scanning.
How secure are your large format scanning services?
Security level will vary depending on the type of document you need to be scanned, but our service providers prioritize confidentiality and integrity. They are all compliant with state and federal privacy laws, such as HIPAA, HITECH, FACTA, and more, and have physical security, restricted access, and encryption, and can securely destroy your documents after scanning if needed.
Can I edit my large format documents after they're scanned?
When you request OCR scanning, your blueprints and drawings will be converted to machine-encoded text that can be edited through a PDF.
What format will my digital large format documents be returned in?
Our service providers support a variety of file formats, including PDF, TIFF, JPEG, and more. They can work with you to ensure compatibility with your systems.
What if my large format documents are old and fragile?
Our service providers will handle all your documents with care during your service and their scanners won’t damage them.
Do you offer on-site scanning for large format documents?
Most of our partners offer both on-site and off-site scanning services. Depending on your preference and the volume of documents, they can tailor their services to meet your specific requirements.
What additional services are offered for large format documents?
Our service providers offer additional services like document indexing, metadata tagging, or even integration with document management systems. Additionally, OCR technology can be beneficial for making scanned large format files searchable and editable. Check for these options based on your needs.
