Shredders

 

Choose a shredder by the cut first, which sets the security level, then match the sheet capacity and bin size to how much you shred. We carry strip, cross-cut and micro-cut machines from Rexel, Fellowes, Dahle and Ideal, including auto-feed models that take a stack and run on their own.

Strip-cut is fastest and most economical for general paper. Cross-cut shreds into short confetti and is the standard for everyday confidential documents. Micro-cut makes tiny particles for the most sensitive material like payroll, HR and client records. The finer the cut, the higher the security and the smaller the bin fills.
It is the DIN standard for particle size. P-2 is strip-cut, P-3 and P-4 are cross-cut, P-5 and above are micro-cut, and P-7 is the finest high-security level. Higher numbers mean smaller particles and greater security. Most offices are well served by P-4, while P-5 to P-7 suit confidential or classified material.
An auto-feed shredder has a lidded tray that holds a stack of paper, often 50 to 750 sheets, and shreds it on its own while you do something else. Most also have a manual slot for the odd page. Rexel Optimum and Fellowes AutoMax are auto-feed ranges. Manual-feed machines like the Rexel Momentum are fed a few sheets at a time.
Most cross-cut and micro-cut office machines take staples and small paper clips without removing them, and many will shred a credit card or CD through a separate slot. Check the product specs for each model, as entry-level units handle less.
Oil the cutters regularly with shredder oil or a lubricating sheet to keep them sharp and prevent jams, more often for cross-cut and micro-cut machines. Empty the bin before it overfills, and use waste bags sized to your model so emptying is clean.

Shredders by cut type and capacity

The cut decides how secure the shredding is. Strip-cut slices paper into long ribbons and is the fastest and cheapest, fine for general office waste. Cross-cut chops those strips into short confetti and is the everyday choice for confidential documents. Micro-cut reduces a page to tiny particles for the most sensitive material.

After the cut, match the machine to the workload: sheet capacity per pass, bin size in litres, and whether you want manual feed or an auto-feed model that shreds a loaded stack unattended. Keep any machine running with oil and the right waste bags.

Start with the cut, not the brand

The cut a shredder makes is the real decision, because it sets how secure the result is. Strip-cut slices paper into long ribbons, the fastest and most economical option for general office waste. Cross-cut chops those strips into short confetti pieces and is the standard for everyday confidential documents. Micro-cut reduces a page to tiny particles for the most sensitive material. Browse all three in our paper shredders range.

Security levels P-2 to P-7

The DIN security scale rates particle size from P-2 up to P-7. Strip-cut sits at P-2, cross-cut covers P-3 and P-4, and micro-cut runs P-5 and above, with Dahle machines reaching the P-7 high-security level for classified material. Most offices are comfortable at P-4, stepping up to P-5 or higher for payroll, HR and client records.

Auto-feed or manual feed

Auto-feed machines like the Rexel Optimum and Fellowes AutoMax hold a stack of 50 to 750 sheets behind a lid and shred it unattended, which suits a team that clears paper in batches. Manual-feed machines like the Rexel Momentum are fed a few sheets at a time and suit steady use through the day. Both handle staples and clips on most models.

Sizing the machine to the room

Match the sheet capacity per pass and the bin size in litres to how much you shred. A desk-side unit with a small bin suits one person, while a department needs a larger bin and a higher duty cycle so it does not overheat. We carry Rexel, Fellowes, Dahle and Ideal from compact home-office machines up to heavy-duty floor-standing units.

Keep it running

A shredder lasts longer and jams less when the blades are oiled, so keep shredder oil or lubricating sheets on hand and run them through regularly. Empty the bin into waste bags sized to your model, from our shredder bags range, for a clean change. For the full department including the matching supplies, see shredders and supplies.
