Your Guide to Choosing a Shredder
Common things to consider when buying a shredder include:
- Where will it be located?
- What benefits would assist your needs?
- What type of castors to use?
- What size is required?
- What noise level is acceptable?
Do you require manual feed or autofeed?
Autofeed allows user to perform other tasks while the machine shreds the pile of paper.
Manual feeding reduces the risk of documents clogging the shredder.
What bin size is required?
The larger the bin capacity, the less frequently the bin requires emptying.
Measure the space available before purchasing your shredder to ensure it fits within the area.
What level of security is required?
A higher P rating increases the security level and bin capacity due to smaller shred size.
Smaller shred sizes are recommended for classified or sensitive documents, such as customer information and financial statements.
