Document Scanning ServicesHow to Count Your Documents

Counting your documents may seem impossible, but we are not looking for an exact number. A close estimate will help us provide you with accurate price quotes and prepare for your project. Use the instructions below to count your documents.

Count the number of banker’s boxes, files, or inches of paper you have 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. Multiple those numbers by the number of boxes, files, or inches.

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 may vary based on a number of factors. Learn more about counting your documents here.
