Archive Scanning Services: Our Process
Step 1: Pre-Planning
Before any scanning begins, we collaborate with you to understand your specific needs and objectives. This step ensures that we tailor our services to meet your requirements, including determining the scope of the project and the desired output formats.
Step 2: Document Shipping
You securely send your documents to our facility, where they are received and handled with the utmost care. We offer guidance on the best practices for packing and shipping your documents to ensure they arrive safely and are ready for processing.
Step 3: Document Preparation Service
Upon arrival, your documents undergo a preparation process where they are carefully organized and prepped for scanning. This includes removing staples and clips, repairing any damages, and sorting the documents to optimize the scanning workflow.
Step 4: Enhanced Document Digitization
Our state-of-the-art scanners then digitize your documents, capturing high-resolution images of each page. This step involves using advanced technology to ensure the best possible quality, including color correction and image enhancement techniques.
Step 5: Indexing and Data Capture Service
After scanning, each document is indexed and, if required, data is captured through OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology. This process makes your documents easily searchable and retrievable, organizing them in a way that meets your specific access and management needs.
Step 6: Quality Review Service
Finally, every digitized document goes through a rigorous quality review to ensure the highest standards are met. Our team carefully checks the accuracy and clarity of the scans, making any necessary adjustments to guarantee your satisfaction with the final digital archive.

Which Documents Should I Scan?
You can scan any type of document with a document scanning service – This includes documents that contain both text and images. With our document scanning services, resolutions can be scanned that range from 200DPI to 1200DPI, depending on the file size and original image quality. A sample scan can be provided upon request.
Document Scanning Formats
When providing you with document scanning services, we can digitize your documents to any format you prefer, including PDF and TIFF. Our experienced staff can also help you decide which is the better format depending on the documents being digitized. If you are a photographer and have documents that contain images (especially ones you will want to edit without compromising image quality) then the TIFF format is most likely the best option for you. If you have documents containing mainly text and you need to archive these images, as well as have the option for flexible security access permissions, then the PDF format is the most appropriate choice.
