What’s the safest way to scan rare books or fragile bound materials?

We use cradle scanners and glass-free imaging systems that support the spine and prevent pressure damage, ideal for historic manuscripts and archival-bound books.

Can you digitize documents stored in outdated or mixed formats?

Yes, we specialize in converting legacy formats—including microfilm, aperture cards, and bound ledgers—into modern digital files like searchable PDFs and TIFFs.

Do you support batch indexing by case ID, invoice number, or patient file?

Absolutely. We offer automated metadata tagging, enabling batch indexing by fields like document type, file number, or department code.

What document types require special handling or preparation before scanning?

Blueprints, stapled case folders, onion skin paper, and carbon copies often need flattening, de-binding, or humidity-controlled preparation to ensure clean scans and page alignment.

Can scanned documents be uploaded directly to my cloud platform?

Yes. We support secure delivery to Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, and private SFTP servers for seamless integration into your workflows.
