Shredder Help
How do I choose the right shredder? What do the specifications mean?
As you probably found out, there are many different types of paper shredders out there. We want you to be satisfied with the shredder that you choose. You can do this in 3 easy steps. So lets go through this, step by step and choose the right shredder for you. Let me remind you that you can always call us for a free consultation if you have any questions or concerns. 1-800-992-5279
| Step One: Strip-Cut or Cross-Cut? | |
Strip-Cut |
Cross-Cut |
|
|
Advantages:  Can shred more paper at a timeFaster shredding speedLower maintenanceLess expensive |
Advantages:Greater securityReduces shredded bulk meaning you do not have
to empty the bin as much (About 80% more than strip-cut) |
So based on your preferences, make a choice between the two and lets move on to step 2. |
|
Step Two: Feed Opening Width |
| The Feed Opening is the part of the shredder where the paper enters. The width varies and increases as model numbers increase which ranges from 8 inches to 18 inches. There are several reasons why this is important. |
| You must choose the shredder width based on
the size of the documents you will be shredding. (The standard paper size 8
1/2 x 11, easily fits in any of the Destroyit shredders.)If you plan to shred continuous form
documents wider than 12 inches, it is best to focus on our High Volume Shredders
that offer a 16 inch feed opening which will allow you to shred continuously without
constant watch. (The biggest width of the Mid-Size Shredders is 12 inches.)Continuous forms will constantly jam if you
have a smaller feed opening. |
| So based on what size documents you will be shredding, choose the model with
the appropriate feed opening. If you will be only shredding standard size paper you
can consider the smaller models but you will have to take into account the power of the
shredder (Output) which is step number three. |
Step Three: Output/Speed |
| The output is measured in pounds per
hour and is an indication of the speed and power of the shredder. You need to know
what kind of power you want to work with. Many times purchasing a bigger more powerful
shredder pays off depending on your volume. If you are doing very little shredding
the low models will be sufficient. |
| So based on what kind of
power (output) you are looking for choose the Destroyit Paper Shredder that best suits
your needs. Three easy steps is all it takes! |
