New To Scanning?

Scanning basically involves copying hard copies of paper documents and “digitising” them into electronic files. We scan your documents as searchable PDF files. This is a worldwide standard which is free to use. It is unlikely that your PC doesn’t already have it installed, but if not you can download Adobe’s PDF reader for free by clicking here.

What do we mean by “searchable”?
Typed information (not handwritten) is converted into text that can be searched or copied by a process called OCR (Optical Character Recognition).
This information sits “under” the picture of the document that you see, and is one of the most important parts of document storage.
It means that you can search for specific word/s in a document and be taken to any pages with that/those words IMMEDIATELY.
If you are not sure where the document has been filed, you can easily search Windows.  This may take a few minutes and can be done while you get on with something else, but it certainly beats rifling through multiple filing cabinets for hours!

Our Pricing Model

The majority of our clients want simple archiving at the lowest price.

We take this as our baseline and then give you a "bolt on" price if you want anything additional to our basic scanning

Basic Scanning

We can scan your documents as either:

1 searchable PDF per lever-arch/box file or archive box, which is indexed with the name from the lever-arch/box file.

1 searchable PDF per page scanned, indexed with the name from the lever-arch/box file plus an incremental number.

Scanned in black & white at a resolution of 200 dpi. This is the industry stanfard for document scanning and is fully compliant with BIP0008 legal standard.

Documents must be flat, in good condition with no staples.
The pages should all be one size in each batch - either all
A4, A5 or A6 and all either single or double sided and be
between 80 and 120 gsm.
