Proper Document Protection

Paper is fragile, and its susceptible to a lot of elements like moisture and heat. So having a proper way to store them away from these elements is important. Make sure you choose plastic and opaque containers. Many places such as Walmart carry stack-able plastic containers made for documents and papers. These light weight containers are easy to move and will last a long long time.

Proper Organization

Throwing all the papers together is a bad idea. As a business you have different papers from different aspects of your business. So make sure that you label each container and mark the year down. Organize them documents in a way that once they no longer need to be kept they can be easily taken out and destroyed.
