FAQs

What is a paper shredder used for?

A paper shredder is a device that’s used to cut paper documents into small strips or tiny pieces. They can be used in businesses and households to safely destroy private, confidential or sensitive information to help prevent identity theft. Common documents that can be shredded include bank statements, credit cards, receipts, old tax documents and old bills. To help keep your paperwork organized, use file folders and filing cabinets to safely store them. Use labels or a label maker to categorize your documents. Make tax season as easy as possible with the latest tax software for your computer.

What type of shredder is best for home use?

The best shredders for home use are ones that balance safety, size and performance. Key features to consider when looking for a home shredder include a run time of 5 to 10 minutes or more for larger stacks of documents, safety features like SafetySense, which automatically stop the shredder if a hand is too close, and whether you need a micro-cut or strip-cut shredder. Other ways you can protect personal information include using a permanent marker to cover personal details before disposal or using a scanner, laptop, iPad or added data storage to digitally back up important documents.

What is better, a micro cut or a cross-cut shredder?

A micro-cut shredder is better for shredding documents securely because it chops paper into tiny, unreadable confetti pieces. A cross-cut shredder is better for shredding documents quickly and at higher volumes because it cuts paper into larger diamond shapes that are better suited for bills or junk mail. Micro-cut shredders can make around 2,000 tiny pieces per page, while cross-cut shredders can make around 400 pieces per page.

Are shredders useful for home offices?

Yes, shredders are a useful addition to home offices, especially if you handle confidential documents, financial statements or mail that features your personal information. Shredders deliver immediate security and convenience with cross-cut or micro-cut capabilities for documents. If you’re building a new home office, consider adding office machines like calculators, label makers, laminators and projectors. Also, don’t forget essentials like an office desk and a supportive office chair.
