More About Paper Shredder
Paper Shredders are one of the most popular office machines used professionally in offices as well as for domestic purposes. There is a great selection of paper shredders available within the office supplies industry and it is worth knowing what features and properties are necessary for the type of work you intend to perform.
Cross Cut Shredders or Strip Cut Shredders?
In general strip cut shredders are considered as “home use” machines and “cross cut” shredders are the ones to use for businesses. This approach is changing nowadays as strip-cut shredders are becoming less popular and major manufacturers only offer a couple of models of such machines. Nowadays even the basic paper shredders use cross cutting technology which shreds the page into small particles, providing a greater level of security. Cross cut shredders are often referred to as “confetti” shredders to highlight the end result of shredding a page with such a machine.
Paper Shredder Ireland - What to know
When choosing a paper shredder the first thing you need to do is to establish the amount of shredding that needs to be carried out during a weekly cycle and how many people are going to use the shredder. Most paper shredders aren’t designed to be used at maximum sheet capacity at all times so it might be worth it to get a shredder which has a sheet capacity 20-30% larger than the actual number of sheets you intend to shred at once. Basic paper shredders are capable of going through 3-10 sheets at once while more advanced models can shred 20+ sheets.
Shredder Machines Ireland - Security Level
Another important matter you should determine is the required security level – in most cases a strip cut shredder is suitable for both home and office users who dispose of materials which don’t contain sensitive data or confidential information. If you require additional security for shredded documents it might be worth getting a cross-cut shredder – even entry level cross-cut shredders shred paper into small pieces which guarantee a high level of security. Most paper shredders denote their security level in DIN standard ranging from 1-6 where 1 is the least secure and 6 would be suitable for use when disposing of top secret information. DIN2 and DIN3 are the most popular and very secure levels that can be found in the majority of quality shredders on the market.

Frequently Asked Questions |
| 1 - What is the difference between a cross cut and a micro cut shredder? |
| A cross cut shredder slices paper into small rectangular pieces and is suitable for most everyday office and home use, typically offering P-3 or P-4 security levels. A micro cut shredder goes further, reducing documents into tiny particles at P-5 security level or above -- making it the better choice for highly sensitive documents such as financial records, HR files, or anything covered by GDPR data protection obligations. |
| 2 - What shredder do I need to be GDPR compliant in Ireland? |
| Under GDPR, personal data must be destroyed in a way that makes reconstruction impossible. A cross cut shredder at DIN security level P-4 is widely considered the minimum standard for personal data, while a micro cut shredder at P-5 is recommended for particularly sensitive information such as medical records or financial data. Models from Rexel and Fellowes in the P-4 and P-5 range are a solid starting point for most Irish businesses. |
| 3 - How many sheets does an office shredder handle at once? |
| Sheet capacity varies significantly across the range. Compact home and personal office models typically handle 6 to 12 sheets at a time, while mid-range office shredders manage 15 to 22 sheets per pass. High-volume auto-feed models -- such as the Rexel Optimum Auto Feed+ range -- can handle up to 300 sheets loaded at once, running unattended while you get on with other work. |
| 4 - What is an auto-feed shredder and is it worth it? |
| An auto-feed shredder lets you load a stack of documents into a sealed compartment, close the lid, and walk away -- the machine shreds at its own pace without you having to feed pages manually. This is particularly useful in busy offices where staff spend time on bulk document disposal. Models like the Rexel Optimum Auto Feed+ series are available with capacities from 50 to 600 sheets, making them a practical choice for teams dealing with regular confidential document destruction. |
| 5 - Can a paper shredder shred credit cards and staples? |
| Many cross cut and micro cut shredders are designed to handle more than just paper -- including credit cards, staples, and paper clips. The Rexel Momentum Extra XP range, for example, is built to shred cards and staples without jamming. Always check the product specifications before feeding non-paper items through any shredder, as strip cut models and lower-capacity machines may not be rated for this. |
| 6 - How do I choose between a home shredder and an office shredder? |
| The main differences come down to sheet capacity, bin size, and duty cycle -- how long the machine can run before needing a rest period. A home shredder with a 9 to 15 litre bin and a short run time suits occasional light use. For a small office or team, look for a 20 to 35 litre bin, a longer run time, and a sheet capacity of 10 or more. Larger open-plan offices or high-volume environments are better served by auto-feed models or those with 40-litre-plus bins and continuous run capability. |
