Shredders
The Facts
Every year thousands of innocent individuals and companies are victims of identity fraud. Identity fraud is on the increase, costing the UK economy over a billion pounds a year and rising. Under current 
legislation the careless disposal of certain types of material could leave you facing severe penalties.
The Solution
The most effective and efficient way to protect yourselves is to shred all materials of high importance. Shredders are an ideal solution for disposing both excess paper and the safe disposal of confiential information such as personal and financial details, including bank information and credit card slips.
Shredders are available in a choice of security levels, sizes and capabilities. With this in mind, please consider the following important factors when selecting a shredder for the home/home office or work
place environment. This will ensure you purchase suits your individual or business needs:
- What material will be shredded (CDs, paper etc?)
- Do you want a shredder by your desk?
- How much paper will be destroyed per day?
- Where will the shredder fit in the office?
- What bin size do you need?
Will provide two images to illustrate the following:
- Strip Cut Machine – provide conventional security by shredding paper into unreadable strips
- Cross Cut Machines – Shred paper into small unreadable pieces. They also significantly reduce bulk waste
How many people will use the shredder?
1-5 users = light duty personal shredder
5-10 users = medium duty office shredder
10+ users = heavy duty professional shredders
