What are the different types of shredders?
Cross-Cut Shredders Cross-cut shredders create crisscross cut pieces of paper. These crisscross cut pieces of paper vary in size from 3/8-inch x 3-1/8-inch to 1/32-inch x 1/2-inch. Cross-cut shredders are not able to shred documents as quickly as strip-cut shredders (of the same class) due to the extra cutting involved. Although they cant shred documents as quickly, cross-cut shredders are able to provide more security to shredded documents than a strip-cut shredder. The shredder by-product has less volume, thus requires less emptying and trips to the dumpster.
