How to choose a commercial shredder
Start with security level, not size. A basic cross-cut shredder is fine for routine office paper, but if you handle financial records, medical files, or anything with a compliance requirement, look at the higher NSA-evaluated and high-security tiers instead — the cut size, not the price tag, is what actually protects the data. Hard drives, SSDs, and optical media need a dedicated destroyer or shredder rated for that media; a paper shredder will not touch them.
Once security is settled, match the machine to your volume. Deskside units suit a handful of users feeding paper by hand a few times a day. Once you have a mailroom or records-management team feeding continuously, step up to an industrial conveyor-fed shredder built for that duty cycle, not a heavier office model pushed past its rating.
Cardboard perforators solve a separate problem — turning used boxes into cushioning material for outbound packing rather than destroying documents — so if that is your need, look at the perforator models rather than the paper shredders on this page.

Shredder questions
What's the difference between cross-cut and strip-cut shredders?
Strip-cut slices paper into long strips and shreds fastest but offers less security; cross-cut cuts paper into small confetti-like pieces and is the standard choice for anything sensitive.
What does an NSA-listed or NSA-evaluated shredder mean?
It means the model has been tested against National Security Agency destruction standards for classified or highly sensitive material — call us if you need a specific listing confirmed for your compliance requirement.
Can a paper shredder destroy hard drives or SSDs?
No. Hard drives, SSDs, and optical media need a dedicated hard-drive or media destroyer built for that job; running them through a paper shredder can damage the machine and won't reliably destroy the data.
What's a cardboard perforator used for?
It scores and perforates used cardboard boxes so they fold down into cushioning material for outbound packing, turning waste boxes into free packing material instead of the trash.
How often do industrial shredders need maintenance?
It varies by model and duty cycle; call us with your machine and usage pattern and we'll give you an honest maintenance expectation rather than a generic number.
Do you sell shredders for casinos or specialty media?
Yes — we stock models built specifically for shredding playing cards, dice, and chips in addition to standard paper and media shredders.
