The number of documents that fit inside a bankers box varies depending on the type of paper stored, the presence of file folders and spacers, and the density of documents inside the box.
On average, you will find approximately 2,200 to 2,500 sheets of paper inside a standard bankers box (12″ x 15″ x 10″). You can multiply this number by the number of boxes you have to get a rough estimate of the total number of documents you need to scan.
A long bankers box (24“ x 15“ x 10“), sometimes referred to as a transfer file box can store approximately 4,500 – 5,000 documents.
