What Are Paper Shredders?
Paper shredders are machines that are used to destroy copy paper, credit cards and other forms of media that contain sensitive information. They can protect businesses from threats like identity theft, fraud and corporate espionage. Shredders generally work by feeding documents into a series of rotating blades that cut the paper into smaller pieces that are difficult to reassemble and read. These devices make it easy to dispose of classified materials that are no longer needed in a safe and efficient manner.
What Types of Document Shredders Are Available?
There are a variety of document shredding machines available depending on your office’s needs and demands. Different paper shredding machines have different load limits and levels of security. For example, businesses that need to protect sensitive information and destroy documents frequently, a cross-cut or micro-cut shredder might be the way to go.
Otherwise, Quill carries many simple and straightforward shredders that are appropriate for the home office. Here are some of the different types of paper shredders we carry:
- Strip-cut paper shredding machines are common home office shredders that cut papers into vertical strips and guarantee the least amount of privacy.
- Cross-cut shredders, also known as diamond-cut shredders, are designed to slice papers into confetti-like bits, making them completely illegible.
- Micro-cut shredders are recommended for offices that need to destroy large quantities of documents regularly, as these devices can also cut through other forms of media like CD-R Discs and DVDs.
How Can Shredder Machines Be Used?
Shredder machines are not just limited to cutting up sheets of paper. They can also be used to destroy many different types of media that are harder to pierce and cut through normally. Heavy-duty shredders are perfect for the office, as employees can quickly dispose of documents that may have staples, CDs, DVDs, credit cards and more. With any shredder, regular maintenance is important. Quill provides a variety of shredder accessories to keep shredder equipment operating properly.
In the home office, a simple strip-cut paper shredder can be a great way to dispose of unnecessary paper and documents in a neat and orderly manner. Whether you are working in a doctor's or lawyer's office and need to be compliant with privacy regulations, or you're just at home cleaning out your old bank statements and bills, make sure your shredder is up to the job.
