Businesses must use many documents to function. From financial statements to employee files your business will have many documents to handle, store, and manipulate every day. Physical documents take up a lot of space and take time to organize and search through. Going paperless makes your business more efficient and organized.

Scanning services convert your physical files to a digital format by capturing an image of the document. Once converted, the file is tagged and indexed for quick retrieval and easy organization. Record Nations Mountain View can help you convert one box of documents, a single department, or your entire organization. We will help you with preparation for the project and customize our services to your needs.

Document Scanning ServicesHow to Count Your Documents

Counting your documents will give you a better idea of the size of your project. It is easy to estimate how many pages you have by using the following formula. 

Start by counting the number of file boxes you have or the number of inches your paper takes up on your shelves. A standard banker’s box (12.5″W x 15.5″D x 10.5″H) can fit 2,000 to 2,500 sheets of paper. A larger file box (15″W x 24″D x 10.5″H) can hold 4,000 to 4,500 sheets of paper. On a shelf, you can typically fit 150 to 200 sheets of paper per inch. Multiple the number of boxes or inches by the number of sheets of paper. 

For example, if you have 3 banker’s boxes full of paper, you will calculate: 3 boxes x 2500 sheets of paper = 7500 documents.

The number will vary, but this will give you a close count. Provide the number of pages when you request quotes on scanning services. This will help you prepare for your project and give you an accurate price quote. 

The Cost of Document Scanning in Mountain View
