Which type of shredder do I need?

A shredder provides essential protection for your sensitive information, giving you privacy and peace of mind. With multiple types of shredders to choose from, we created a buying guide to help you find the best option for your security needs.

First, consider the cut your shredder will provide: Cross-cut and micro-cut shredders offer additional protection, making documents virtually impossible to reconstruct. Next, assess just how much shredding you’ll be doing. For example, if you’re purchasing a shredder for your business, check out commercial shredders that can efficiently shred high volumes of documents.

Can shredders handle more than just paper?

Specialized shredders can handle a variety of materials, meaning you can safely dispose of sensitive information in formats other than paper. For example, plastic shredders and credit card shredders can be critical for many kinds of businesses. Similarly, CD shredders can ensure that discs with sensitive data don’t fall into the wrong hands.
