Pinnacle Data Management - Archive Storage of paper and documents

Points to consider to efficiently store paper documents to save costs 

Looking at the cost of archive storage of paper and documents, cataloging, boxes and retrievals here is a 10 point plan to efficiently store and archive paper documents: 

1. STOP the paper at source! Only print on paper when necessary. For example, most e-mails can be read or forwarded without printing them.  Try not to store duplicate information i.e. minutes stored by all 12 people around the table.
2. Store paper as densely as possible:-
   1. Use the correct size archive box, with as little air space around the box as possible.
   2. It is more efficient to empty Lever arch file and Box file direct into bankers boxes or storage wallets. (Where practical).
3. When loading files, try to store files by date of destruction. If possible, do not store long and short term material together, otherwise all material will have to be stored long term, or sorted out at a later date with the associated costs.
4. Make sure a destruction date is provided for each box so the archive storage company can manage the destruction for you. Once the destruction dates are on the database, it is a simple procedure to provide a report of all boxes which have passed their destruction date.
5. Make sure you get a report of all boxes which have reached their destruction date at least once a year from your document storage company.
6. E-mail and faxes can all be stored electronically so if you have to print them shredded them when you have finished with them.
7. Use good quality boxes to save extra labour and boxes re-boxing them at a later date.
8. Plan a retrieval system before loading the boxes. Do you require the full box back or just a file, will you require file inventories or just by box. Will you require emergency retrievals. All these factors affect the overall cost of storage.
9. Can your staff make you more money when they are not archiving files?
10. When a member of your staff wishes to retrieve a box or a file, always ensure that they check with the rest of your organisation to see if another person also needs an item retrieved in order to avoid unnecessary call out charges.

Not all of these points will apply to all businesses but even taking a few into consideration will substantially save you money.
