Document Storage Services
Fast, Organized, and Secure Document and Records Storage Services
While it’s important to securely destroy many of the documents that your company produces, your industry or business may require you to keep others on file for future reference. Effective document management is centered on organized record storage. Proper storage makes an important difference in reducing inefficiencies and streamlining workflow. Companies should rethink their document storage practices to save space, increase security, and accelerate access.
Records storage and document management systems (DMS) provide methods to store and access your files. Our physical and digital storage options offer many features to help you control and protect your information. Improve organization at your office, reduce the risk of losing files, and mitigate the possibility of leaked data by storing off site and electronically.
Shred Nations offers several storage options to safely store your physical and digital files. Our innovative solutions provide structure and cut costs. Connect with our records storage experts to help you select the right storage system for your business today.

The Ideal Storage Solution for Businesses
The ideal approach for businesses is to utilize both physical and digital storage methods.
- Use digital storage for documents you use the most to maximize efficiency, securirty, and cost savings.
- Retain physical copies in off-site storage as backups or to meet legal requirements for retention.
- Our professional document management service providers will optimize organization and security for your physical and digital records.
This hybrid approach allows businesses to leverage the unique benefits of both storage methods while mitigating their respective drawbacks.

How do storage services work?
Both processes start by contacting Shred Nations. We will connect you with a service provider that can help you with your specific project. With off-site records storage, your records will be picked up by the service provider you choose and taken to a secure storage facility. With digital storage, if you need to scan your documents still, our service provider can pick up your documents to scan or scan them on-site. Then, they will deliver your files digitally on the DMS you choose.
What types of documents should I store?
You can store any type of document, including paper documents, digital files, large-format documents, medical records, legal records, and more.
How much does document storage cost?
The price of your storage service will vary based on the service you choose. The price will depend on how many boxes you have to store, if you have to scan files for a digital storage service, and any other special requests.
What happens to my documents when their retention period is up?
Our off-site storage providers either own a shredder at their facility or partner with a shredding service to ensure your documents get completely destroyed when their retention is up. With digital storage, you can set up automatic retention periods that will permanently delete the digital files.
