What Affects Document Scanning Pricing?

  1. Volume of Pages: Larger projects cost less per page. 10 boxes = ~25,000 pages.
  2. Preparation: More time needed = higher cost (staples, folders, etc.).
  3. Post-Scan Reassembly: Optional, but adds cost if required.
  4. Indexing: Basic (by folder/box) vs detailed (by document type, OCR, etc.).
  5. Scanning Location: On-site scanning is available but costs more due to travel/setup.
  6. Software Integration: We support export formats for most systems — complexity may affect price.
