If you need a paper shredder for your home or office, Staples has a great selection of personal shredders to choose from. There are options available if you need a compact personal shredder or a heavy-duty home shredder for shredding documents that contain personal information.
Shredder capabilities
With different types of personal shredders on the market, the type of shredder that is best for you will depend on your needs. Copy and printer paper is the most common material home shredders must handle, but you should also consider the disposal of other materials. For example, select a home shredder that can handle credit cards and CDs containing sensitive backup files. If your sensitive documents are often stapled or bundled with paper clips, a home shedder made to handle those may save you time. You also have the choice between auto-feed and manual feed when selecting a personal shredder. The automatic feature will come in handy when working through a large amount of paper, but you may not use your paper shredder enough to warrant the additional cost. Many shredders also include safety features that stop the home shredder from continuing to work when it is not in use. Look for this feature to prevent accidents.
Shredder cut types
Home shredders are designed to reduce paper into indistinguishable pieces that are difficult to reassemble. Cross cut shredders, as well as micro and strip personal shredders are all great options with varying levels of document safety. Ideal for personal use, these home shredders are also suitable for small businesses that need to shred sensitive documents and want to protect against identity theft.
A shredder for your space
When choosing a shredder, you'll want to consider how much space you have available. Smaller personal shredders are often designed to be placed on a desk or table. They are great for individual use but can be used by small businesses. Larger home shredders are intended to be placed on the floor or under office furniture, and sometimes, these models are even equipped with wheels for easy access and sharing.
