Paper Shredder

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.

	about Rexel Auto Plus 100M Shredder Micro Cut 2104100
	Would highly recommend it!
	"I found this shredder absolutely brilliant. It works efficiently and requires very little maintenance, even when I load several sheets on it works away itself with no fuss whatsoever. It hasn't jammed once in the several weeks I've been using it! I also love the micro cut feature that ensures my personal documents are well shredded whereas I've found other shredders without this feature leave some sheets slightly legible. Would highly recommend it!"

	George Greene
	about Rexel Auto+ Plus 80X Shredder Cross Cut 2103080
	Budget price.
	"The Rexel Autoplus 80X is a relatively new shredder in our office. Since getting the shredder I haven't encountered any paper jams. What I like about the Autoplus 80x shredder is that it pretty much works away by itself. If we have a stack of paper to shred at the end of the day we simply stack them in the feeder and it shreds automatically. It goes through staples as well no problem which saves the need to remove them before you stack the paper. Professional office shredder for a budget price."

	Clara Higgins
	about Rexel Auto+ Plus 80X Shredder Cross Cut 2103080
	Ideal shredder .
	"We recently got this Rexel Autoplus 80X shredder for our small brokerage. We shred a lot of confidential documents throughout the day, sometimes we might have a bundle of up to 30 sheets plus, which can take up a lot of valuable time. The Autoplus 80x shredder has an automatic feeder which can hold up to 80 sheets at a time. This has been extremely useful to us because instead of going to the shredder several times a day, we can now stack the sheets of paper in the feeder and leave it work away by itself. As well as this, the Autoplus 80x is whisper quiet when in operation. Ideal shredder for a small or medium sized office."
