Preparing Files of Archiving



October is generally quite a quiet time of year for most businesses. It is a lull after the madness of September when most people return to work after having taken their summer holidays whilst Christmas madness hasn’t quite started yet. Therefore October is the perfect time to year to get all your business archiving done. This is exactly what most of our customers do and as a result, it is one of our busiest times of year here at Cube Record Management Services.

With this in mind, we thought we’d share with you a few tips for getting the most of archiving your documents.

TIP ONE – Ensure all you paperwork is uniform in size. This usually means ensuring that A4 paperwork is all unfolded and lying flat whilst A3 can be folded (if possible) to ensure it creates as little bulk as possible.

TIP TWO – Reduce the risk of paperwork damage in storage by ensuring it is completely dry before archiving.

TIP THREE – Use special binders or cardboard wallets instead of plastic folders to protect documents as over time the chemicals in the plastic might damage your paperwork.

Follow these simple tips and archiving your documents should be a breeze. To discuss any of our document storage service with us, please call us on 0800 027 2668.
