How Document Scanning Services Work

Professional document scanning makes it possible to convert documents, drawings, and schematics of all kinds. We use specialized scanning equipment to capture clear, consistent images of all of your files. Digital files can be easily stored, edited, and shared improving the productivity and efficiency of your team. 

We take care of the following steps to make your project as easy as possible: 

  • We remove bindings to prepare documents for scanning.
  • We determine between single and double-sided documents and scan as necessary.
  • We can index by page or by entire document, whichever is easier for you. 
  • We offer Optical Character Recognition (OCR), so that documents can be modified later.  
  • We put your converted files on the medium of your choice; including CDs, DVDs, or cloud storage
  • We accommodate special requests, just give us the details when you request free quotes by calling (865) 248-3008 or filling out the form. 

How to Count Your Documents 

When you request free quotes on scanning services, we will ask how many documents you have to scan. Count your documents using the instructions below. 

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 the number of boxes, files, or inches by the number of sheets of paper to find an estimate. 

The final number will vary based on the thickness of your paper, how tightly packed your paper is, and the brand of file folders/boxes you use. An exact count isn’t necessary, a close estimate will help us plan for your project and provide you with accurate price quotes. 

The Cost of Document Scanning in Oak Ridge

Most document scanning providers charge by the page. The price per page generally falls between 7 and 12 cents.
