Besides cutting style, you can also select a shredder based on the level of security it offers. Paper shredders are classified from P1 to P7, with higher numbers indicating higher security.
Shredders with a security level of P1 or P2 are perfect for basic day-to-day use in your home or workspace. They can be used to shred non-sensitive data, everyday files and general documents including invoices, printouts and photocopies. They’re also suitable for paper volume reduction and large scale paper recycling schemes such as disposing of newspapers, phone books and junk mail.
Shredders with a security level of P3 are the most commonly used and popular for destroying health-related data. They’re suitable for destroying sensitive and confidential data in the workplace and personal information at home including old tax returns, cancelled cheques and other private data.
Starting at a security level of P4, these shredders are ideal for destroying very sensitive and confidential corporate or personal data. As each level increases in security, the P5 and P6 shredders are more capable of destroying secret documents relating to personal livelihoods and information relating to a company’s existence. A shredder with a level of P7 offers ultra-high security and has been approved for use by government and military groups, meaning it’s suitable for the destruction of highly classified and top secret information.
Auto feed shredders allow you to spend less time shredding. Simply load the automatic feed with paper and leave it to do the shredding for you.
The sheet capacity of a shredder indicates how many sheets can be shredded at one time. The larger the sheet capacity, the more pages you can shred at a time. Selecting a shredder with a large sheet capacity will save you time.
Bin capacity indicates the capacity of the shredder waste bin. Choose a shredder with a larger bin size if you shred a large volume of paper.
Run time denotes the maximum time which the shredder can be in continuous use (on time) and the cooling off period (off time). Some shredders have continuous shredding, where the shredder can be in continuous use without a cooling off period.
Cut type directly relates to the level of security required. For non-sensitive information, strip cut shredders will suffice. Cross cut shredders are best for shredding personal information, while micro cut shredders are ideal for shredding confidential information.
While all shredders will take care of paper, you may want to shred other things such as staples, paper clips, credit cards and CD/DVDs.
Keep your shredder working efficiently and free of wear and tear with shredder oil.
Keep your shredded paper neat and tidy with a selection of shredder bags.
