Document Scanning ServicesHow to Count Your Documents

Counting your documents will give us a better idea of the services you will need and help determine the price of your project. To come up with a count estimate, think of your pages in terms of banker’s boxes or on a shelf. 

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. Multiply those numbers by the number of boxes, files, or inches you have. 

The final number can differ depending on the thickness of your paper, how tightly packed your pages are, and the brand of file folders or boxes. However, a close estimate is a great place to start.
