How We Handle Scanning of Irregular-Sized and Non-Standard Documents
By: USA IMAGING, Inc.
Not all documents come in tidy, letter-sized sheets. From hand-traced maps and engineering cutouts to torn legal exhibits, businesses and government agencies often deal with documents that don’t fit the mold. At USA Imaging, Inc., we specialize in scanning irregular-sized and non-standard documents with precision and care.
📏 What Qualifies as “Irregular”?
Odd shapes (triangular plans, curved forms)
Mixed-size batches (e.g., receipts with blueprints)
Fragile originals (torn, folded, water-damaged)
Oversized or undersized (from ticket stubs to 6-foot plans)
🖨️ Our Process for Irregular Scanning
Initial Assessment: We review the condition, size, and handling requirements of each item.
Prep & Protection: Delicate pages are stabilized using sleeves, weights, or flattening techniques.
Flexible Equipment: We use both flatbed and large-format roll scanners that can accommodate extreme sizes and unusual textures.
Manual Cropping & Adjustment: After scanning, we crop, rotate, and realign images to ensure clarity and usability.
File Naming & Indexing: Files are labeled and indexed clearly—even if your documents vary widely in format.

✅ Why It Matters
Most scanning providers focus on standard jobs. But in the real world, documents rarely conform. Our ability to adapt to unusual sizes and conditions sets us apart—and ensures your data is captured fully, cleanly, and ready to use.
