This is our own specification that we have created to give you a guide as to how often you should use your shredder. There are some models that can shred all day without pausing, however the figures below assume the amount of sheets of paper you would want to shred in an "average" day.
Simply read the descriptions of the different categories below to decide which category you fall into. This will help you to decide which category of
shredder that you require and allows you to browse our online store for a paper shredder that will best suit your needs.

destruction of up to 100 sheets of paper per day. These machines will usually only accept sheets that are up to and including A4.
