To shred or not to shred, that is the question but what is the answer? Shred of course! Shredding confidential documents is the smartest way to dispose of confidential information that should not be given to others. Lots of people are lost when it comes to determining what type of shredder they should use. It is simple, use the shredder that best fits your needs. Some of the best paper shredders are the micro cut shredders which shred your documents into less than one third of an inch pieces. This is the smallest of all the shreds.

Shredders come in different types of shred and different strengths as well as for home office and commercial units. For very light duty jobs you can even purchase a portable unit that neatly stores away in a drawer when it is not in use. The best unit to have for a home office is a heavy duty machine. These are capable of shredding up to 12 confidential documents at a time by up to 3 users. This is one way of preventing identity theft from those seemingly worthless credit card offers. The more of these you throw away without shredding, the greater chance of you becoming a victim of identity theft.

There are actually only two different cuts for shredders. One is a strip cut that cuts your document into long strips. All other shredders are crosscut shredders. The only difference in them is the size of the crosscut. A confetti shredder shreds your document into at least one half inch pieces making it one of the hardest to reconstruct. The smallest shred size is the micro cut which is pieces less than one third of an inch in length and less than one sixth of an inch in width. Most portable shredders are strip cut shredders. These are best destroyed of by separating the strips into different garbage bags.

Commercial equipment is much stronger than the heavy duty shredders. This is because they must ensure their customer’s confidential information is not obtained by someone else. In some cases large businesses will use pulverizing equipment to ensure their customer’s security. This form of machine literally pulverizes the material into paper dust making it absolutely impossible to reconstruct. A strip cut document can be reconstructed fairly easy when it is disposed of in one bag.

When you are looking for the best paper shredder that offers you the highest security, you will find that a confetti or micro cut shredder is your answer. There are numerous online retailers that offer you the ability to compare brands, prices, retailers and features like SHOP.COM, which will let you compare several shredders on one page and offer you discounts on various units. This lets you choose the shredder that is best for your needs with the volume of work you have to shred.
