Book Scanning

Our price for scanning printed books up to size A4 non-destructively (i.e. preserve the binding) is $4/page. It includes flatbed scanning of each page, cropping, and rotation, with resolution from 200dpi to 600dpi. We can apply OCR (making the text searchable) to suitable documents. The output file format can be JPEG, TIFF or Multi-page PDF. Turnaround time depends on the scale of a project. Please, contact us for an estimate. Books must be scanned their entirety (no partial book scanning).

We can also scan books destructively, where we remove the spine of the book and scan the pages via a document feeder. The price per page gets lower as the page count increases. The cost of this process includes a $50/book spine removal fee plus the cost per page based on the calculator below:

The book scanning service applies to entire books (i.e. you cannot scan only individual pages from a book) and is most suitable for items that contain mostly text, with occasional illustrations/graphics. To scan content at a higher quality, please refer to our “Artwork Scanning” service.

Large Volume Document Scanning

(Min. $500/project)

Document scanning pricing ranges from HK$ 0.39/page for projects over 100,000 pages up to $2/page for smaller projects. The minimum project cost is HK$500. Documents that require flatbed scanning (i.e. cannot pass through ADF) incur additional fees. File indexing is based on the order of delivered boxes and can be customized to meet client needs. Complex file indexing and data extraction are not included in the basic prices. While shredding the documents is free of charge, document storage can be quoted upon request. Please visit our Document Scanning page for more details and to get a cost estimate. Contact us for a custom quote or more information.
