Common questions
Common questions
Can these machines handle staples and paper clips?
Many models in this catalog are staple-friendly or clip-friendly, meaning the blades can process small metal fasteners without damage. Check the specific listing to ensure the cutters are rated for metal.
What is the difference between cross-cut and micro-cut?
Cross-cut machines turn paper into small rectangular strips, while micro-cut machines reduce documents to much smaller, confetti-like particles. Micro-cut offers a higher security level, such as P-4 or P-5.
How long can these shredders run before needing a break?
Standard home models often have a short run time before overheat protection kicks in, while continuous run shredders are built for longer, uninterrupted use. Most listings will specify the duty cycle in minutes.
Are there options for shredding plastic cards or discs?
Yes, this set includes 233 credit card shredders and 106 models with dedicated slots for CDs and DVDs. These machines use reinforced cutters to break down thicker plastic materials.
