The Paperless Revolution
High Resolution Flatbed
Scanning Service
If you've ever experienced the frustration of rummaging through flat drawers, tubes or hanging files looking for the document you need, we know how you feel. Oversized documents are particularly cumbersome and difficult to store and organize. Our large format scanning service solves your paper problems by transforming your large format documents into a text-searchable digital archive.
Improve Accessibility
Locate and share any document quickly and easily with simple keyword searches. Scanned documents are indexed and stored with metadata that allows you to sort by name, date, job ID, or any other important identifiers you see fit. Plus, you'll be able to access any file securely, from any physical location.
Save Time
Digitizing your large format documents makes it easier to find, access, and share your information with your team members and clients. Eliminate time wasted searching for the documents you need.
Prevent Deterioration
Blueprints and other large format documents are prone to fading and other types of damage. Handling and use of these documents heightens these risks. Digitizing your documents creates a permanent record that can be accessed and shared without the possibility of data loss.
Reclaim Office Space
Storing large format documents takes up a ton of space, and if that space is in your office, you're paying a premium for it. Reduce your on-site paper storage requirements and better utilize your space for more productive tasks. Or, put in a pinball machine.

Common Questions
Get answers to our most frequently asked large format scanning questions.
Whats kind of documents are considered large format?
Any document larger than the two standard paper sizes (8.5″ x 11 legal size, 8.5″ x 11 letter size) is considered to be a large format document.
A few typical examples of large format documents includes:
- Architectural blueprints
- Engineering diagrams/drawings
- Large non-standard book pages
- Newspaper sheets
- Maps
- Schematics
The main reason for the “large format document” distinction is the need for special scanning and printing equipment when working with oversized documents.
What are special considerations to make when scanning large format documents?
It is important to remember though that large-format documents typically need to be removed from tubes or racks and loaded into the scanner one at a time, so the process of scanning large format documents can take a bit longer. These large sheets also need special care and proper handling to avoid rips and tears in your documents.
How large of a document can you scan?
We can scan any document up to 60″ in width or length which covers ANSI E and ARCH E documents.
