You Should Never Pay the Industry Average for Document Scanning
By USA IMAGING, Inc.
In today’s digital landscape, scanning paper records is no longer optional—it’s essential for security, compliance, and operational efficiency. But that doesn’t mean you should pay what everyone else is charging. In fact, “industry average” pricing often reflects inefficiency, poor planning, and subpar results.
At USA IMAGING, Inc., we’ve spent decades refining how document scanning should be done. With over 70 years of combined experience, our team knows how to deliver consistent, high-quality digital files—without overcharging or cutting corners.
Why “Average” Costs You More
The average document scanning vendor charges based on outdated workflows and inflated labor. Many:
Deliver inconsistent or low-resolution scans
Skip important steps like OCR or proper file naming
Provide little to no quality control
Charge extra for basic indexing or organization
The result? You end up with files that are hard to search, poorly organized—or worse, unusable. What seemed like a high-cost service to begin with, becomes an even expensive do-over. We've seen this many times and we end up doing the do-over scanning for new clients.
Our Philosophy: Scan Once, Scan Right
At USA IMAGING, Inc., we believe in doing the job once—with the highest level of accuracy and image integrity, so you never need to revisit your scanned documents again.
Our process includes:
Careful document preparation
High-resolution scanning (200–600 DPI, as needed)
Folder-level indexing and custom file naming
Reliable OCR for searchable PDFs
Ongoing quality checks throughout the workflow
We’ve developed, refined, and proven the system over hundreds of successful projects—and it’s why our clients trust us with everything from legal case files and HR records to engineering drawings and archival documents.
The Hidden Value of Expertise
Our experience means more than just knowledge—it means efficiency. We’ve honed our tools, technology, and methods to run smoothly and effectively. That translates into:
Fewer errors
Faster turnaround
Lower overall cost
Superior digital records
While many vendors pass their inefficiencies onto the client in the form of higher prices, we do the opposite. Our clients receive more value at a much lower cost than typical market rates.

Better Results, Fairer Pricing
We don’t believe you should pay inflated rates for scanning that doesn’t meet your expectations. That’s why we tailor every quote to the job—not the industry average. Whether you're scanning a few file cabinets or an entire archive, our streamlined process ensures you only pay for what you need—and nothing more.
