Store your archives securely and keep immediate access to your documents

Difference between archiving and physical archive storage

Archiving of documents

It consists of keeping important documents in an organized and structured manner, generally for legal, tax, historical or administrative reasons, and often requires calling on a specialized company if you outsource this task.

Using a specialist archiving company may incur service fees, storage fees and possibly document retrieval fees. These costs can accumulate and become significant depending on the volume of documents to be managed.

Additionally, you depend on a third party to manage your documents. This may cause delays or complications if you need quick access to archived documents and the records management company cannot respond to your request immediately.

Finally, although archiving companies may offer document retrieval services, access to your archives may be limited by opening hours and request procedures. This can be a problem if you need frequent or urgent access to your archived documents, or if the storage facilities are located far from your business.

Storage of archives in boxes

Box storage offers a practical solution for keeping these archives off-site, freeing up space on your premises while maintaining easy access to these documents.

  • Accessibility of physical archives: unlike archives stored in remote warehouses or outsourced to specialized companies, storage boxes are generally located near your workplace. This allows you to easily access your archives when needed, without delays or constraints, over extended hours.
  • Optimal preservation of your documents: our storage boxes are designed to prevent humidity problems. Adequate ventilation guarantees optimal storage conditions, preserving the integrity of your most fragile and important documents, unlike cellars or furniture guards
  • Optimized storage costs: box storage is often more cost-effective than other archiving options, such as outsourcing to specialist services or renting dedicated warehouses. You only pay for the space you need, which helps reduce archive management costs and manage your storage yourself.
