Businesses often end up needlessly storing stacks of documents they don’t want to keep because the papers include private or personal information that might be misused if discarded improperly. Staples’ selection of paper shredding machines can help users safely dispose of unneeded paperwork with ease.
What Are Paper Shredders?
A paper shredder is a mechanical device used to cut paper into either strips or micro particles. Offices, businesses and individuals can utilize this tool to destroy unnecessary papers, confidential files or sensitive documents. Paper shredding machines come with lots of variety when it comes to their bin capacity, operating time and shredding capabilities.
Depending on the model chosen, paper shredding machines can be operated for a few minutes at a time before requiring a cool down period between 20 and 40 minutes. Maintenance is easy, check the shredding mechanism from time to time to ensure no jamming occurs. Users can apply warm water to paper towels and wipe the exterior of the shredder to ensure it always looks brand new.
What Are the Benefits of Paper Shredding Machines?
Paper shredding machines are invaluable for businesses who rely on secure and dependable identity theft protection. Documents like financial statements, bills, customer records and tax files pose a risk if they are stolen or disposed of improperly.
Paper shredders allow for the safe disposal of these sensitive papers and thus allow for more room in file folders and other organizational supplies. Users can typically choose between office and personal use as well as the shredder cut type for a more or less fine cut.
Paper shredder machines are easy to transport around an office, at home or from one location to another. Many models are small and light enough to be picked up and carried manually, while larger shredders feature small wheels for easy rolling between rooms.
Common safety features include an automatic shutoff in order to prevent overheating or jamming. For frequent use, look for a paper shredder with a spacious pull-out bin to avoid having to empty it after each shredding session.
What Kind of Paper Shredder Machine Should You Buy?
Staples offers a variety of features that can help users find the right paper shredder for their home and office needs.
Shredder Type
Listed below are the different types of paper shredder machines available to Staples customers. Choose the best one for your needs.
Commercial
Commercial paper shredder machines easily shred high volumes of documents and offer high security. This product is optimized for long shredding sessions because of its extended run-time and large bin capacity.
High-Security
These paper shredder machines are designed to utterly destroy confidential documents, making them virtually impossible to piece together again. Shredder security levels reference the size of the shreds produced, and range from low security (P-1) to maximum security (P-7). Staples offers the following levels of high-security shredders.
- Micro-Cut (P-5)
- Super Micro-Cut (P-6)
- High Security-Cut (P-7)
Personal
Personal paper shredders may have a lower security level, but are no less effective for dealing with unnecessary documents laying around users’ homes or workspaces. Standard personal paper shredders have lower bin capacities than commercial machines, but are perfect for handling printer paper.
Shredder Feed Type
Not all paper shredding machines are fed documents the same way. Keep reading to find out whether a manual or auto-feed shredder is right for you.
Auto-Feed
The main advantage of an auto-feed paper shredder is that users don’t have to continuously feed the machine. Simply fill the loading tray with your documents, and the machine will do the shredding for you. Many automatic shredders have a slot to shred documents manually if desired.
Manual
Manual paper shredders require users to be present and near the machine as it disposes of the no longer needed documents. Users have to manually feed paper into the machine and continue to do so until they are finished. Depending on the size and power of the shredder, you may be able to shred around 10 or more pages at once.
