There is an alternative out there to hand-applying Bates stamps to your legal documents.  Gone are the days of manually Bates stamping your document production with the clunky, slow rubber-stamper and no longer do you need to print thousands of tiny labels to be hand applied to your documents.  We now have the technology to scan all of your documents to electronic PDF files, sort them accordingly, and apply perfectly formatted Bates stamps to any part of the scanned document.  We can place custom prefixes, suffixes, and alternative lines of text such as “Smith v. Jones” above or below each Bates number on the page.  So how long would it take to Bates stamp 10,000 scanned PDF pages?  About 20 seconds!!!  That’s right.  Once your documents are scanned, the application of the Bates numbers to the electronic documents is almost instant.

If you’ve got documents to be scanned, or if you have documents that you have scanned yourself that you would like to apply Bates numbering to, then give us a call and we will have our professional document imaging staff do it for you.  Alternatively, you could purchase the same software we use from SimpleBates.com and you’ll be up and running in-house very quickly.

Do you have questions?  Call us any time at 800-830-8885.  We would be glad to help.
