Critical Considerations When Selecting a Shredder
The amount of paper to be shredded (boxes or reams) per day or week determines the shredder capacity you need. (Capacity refers to the number of sheets to be shredded in one pass). Do not underestimate your capacity needs, and don't forget to allow for growth. Many companies fail to do this.

Other Considerations

• Entry Width: Paper size 8 ½ x 11 ", 16" computer paper, and/or other sizes

• Speed: Feet per minute

• Motor: Horsepower (often machines are geared slower for more sheets per pass, but the feet per minute is slower resulting is a more time-consuming operation)

• Electronic Features: Automatic start/stop, container full indicator, auto reverse during paper jams
