Oh.. you still use paper?

I am getting a 1 Terabyte remote drive for just the off line images. I
am scanning everything and putting it into categories. 

On line - current docs
Near line - docs about to expire
Off Line - data archive of older still needed docs

We should be paperless in a year with only current files still in
existence - highest level donor files. Those are imaged as well but the
paper kept. 
That would be just about 400 cu feet. 

We will attempt to politically get rid of the paper in a year.

Hey Folks...

Help!  {:{)}

We're in need of replacing our box supplier who we've had for about six
years, and I'm hoping to find a good replacement.  We use between 3,000
and 5,000 a year of the standard letter by legal RM box...

Here is the problem I'm running in to:  Two of the vendors I'm working
with (Paige and the Box Company) have sent me box samples, and I find
that the width of the lid (being the widest part), is 13 inches.  Every
box I have used up to this date has been 12.5 inches wide...

A half inch isn't a big deal, but I find that with our 4 box, 54 inch
shelving, 13 inch boxes become just too tight on the shelf width.

So here is my question:  Does anybody have a suggestion of a good box
supplier that makes a standard (not accordion bottom) fold-together
Records Management box, which comes in at no wider at the lid than 12.5
inches?

Please feel free to e-mail me directly with any suggestions.

Thanks, everybody!
