Home Paper Shredders
Home paper shredders are lightweight, portable and the most effective way to combat identity fraud. Useful to shred receipts, credit card applications, bank statements and much more.

Home paper shredders are:

  • Convenient – Most models are light and portable so they can be shifted from one room to the other. They can accept stapled documents, paper clips and feature auto on/off buttons and reverse functions to clear paper jams.
  • Attractive – Most models come in a modern design and optional colours, which easily suit the office environment perfect to place next to a desk or table.
  • Secure – Choose from various shredder types, such as strip-cut, which shreds the paper in normal strips of paper. For more added security choose the cross-cut shredder, which shreds the paper in much more smaller pieces.
There are several reasons to keep a paper shredder at home. Everyone has bank statements, medical records, old tax records, legal documents and various other documents consisting of sensitive data that can get into the wrong hands, which leads to identity damage.

Office Paper Shredders
Office paper shredders are designed to be used by more than one person. They are larger and faster than personal and home paper shredders. Some office shredders can also shred CDs and DVDs.

Office paper shredders are:

  • Convenient – Office paper shredders are made for daily office use by shredding stapled documents, paper clips and feature auto on/off button and reverse functions to clear paper jams.
  • Attractive – Most contemporary designs are made to blend into an office environment.
  • Secure – Choose from strip-cut the standard form of shredding to high security crosscut models, which cuts paper to near confetti.
There are various considerations when buying a shredder for office use. If top secret documents need to be shred then we suggest getting a crosscut shredder.

High Volume Paper Shredders
These are designed for mid-sized to large-sized offices with high paper volume. On average a heavy-duty shredder feeds 26 – 30 sheets at a time.

Cardboard Shredders
Do you end up with lots of cardboard boxes? Shred those stacked empty boxes into large volume filler/packaging material ideal for warehouse, packaging company and any business with packaging needs. You then don’t have to pay for the disposal of those empty boxes or packaging material, because the cardboard shredder can do it for you saving your business money through efficiency.

CD & DVD Shredders
Do you have CDs and DVDs that contain with top-secret information? CDs and DVDs can hold up to 500 times the amount of information that a floppy disk can. Just imagine if that large amount of valuable information falling into the wrong hands. To avoid this from happening tear CDs and DVDs through a CD shredder, these shredders will leave CDs and DVDs into small unreadable and unusable plastic.

Industrial Paper Shredders
These are designed for extremely high volumes of paper. They can often shred 100s of sheets at a time. Industrial shredders are used by large organisations that need to shred lots of paper waste.

DOD – High Security Paper Shredders
These are designed to shred sensitive and top secret documents. These paper shredders offer you the greatest degree of protection against information theft or misuse by reducing your private documents to mere confetti. High security paper shredders comply with department of defence standards making them perfect for military, federal, state and local government agencies.
