Outsourcing archive storage to 3rd party providers like Metrofile or Iron Mountain is common — but many businesses unknowingly create inefficiencies before their files even leave the office. Common mistakes include:
Using low-quality boxes that collapse in storage
Overfilling boxes beyond capacity
Not sealing or labelling correctly
Storing mixed types of documents together
Ignoring box design for retrieval efficiency
By choosing a durable, secure, self-locking box like yBox and following a structured storage plan, companies can cut costs and retrieval times dramatically.
