Tips on how to choose the right paper shredder for your business

The type of questions needed to be asked are:-

1. What width of paper will you need to destroy – A4 size only or wider?
2. How much computer paper will you need to shred?
3. Would more than one ream of paper be shredded in a day?
4. Do you have a set budget for your paper shredder?
5. How many people will be using the shredder?
6. What features do you want? e.g.

• shredding capacity 
• country of origin 
• brand 
• large storage bin 
• tungsten steel blades accept pins, staples etc. 
• warranty 
• government contract 
• automatic functions
• low noise
• on wheels
• local service 

These questions should now help to narrow the consideration down to one or two models.

Assurance for the Customer Tips on Shredders

What we normally provide to Departments or Companies looking for shredders, is a one day rental trial which can be credited against the purchase if you buy the machine. We do this so that (A) you can see what you get for your money, (B) you can form your own opinion as to whether the machine is suitable for your needs, and (C) you may wish to compare it with others, and of course, you would not be under any obligation to purchase.
