Why Buy Shredding Machines?

0 Comments

If you’ve worked in an office before, it’s very likely that you’ve come across a shredding machine. However, we often get asked why they’re so popular and why individuals and companies rely on them so much. Here at AfterPrint, we stock a wide variety of office and industrial shredding machines and have put together the following guide to help you see their benefits.

Keep Your Space Organised and Clean

This benefit applies to those that are using them personally at home and at their desk in the office. Whether it’s letters from your bank or confidential company documents, your space can soon become cluttered over time. Therefore, many people opt to shred their way to a tidy space. Not only will this clear space in your office or home, but it will also produce a less voluminous waste than the sheets themselves would have. Therefore, it tends to be much easier to recycle.

Protect Your Privacy

One of the most important reasons that companies invest in office shredding machines is that they can help to keep your personal information safe. Many documents within a business can be confidential with anything from the company’s accounts to clients personal information being held in paper form. In order to comply with data protection laws and avoid any breaches of privacy, it is important that documents containing this information are destroyed after use.

It’s not just businesses that use shredding machines to protect their privacy though. It’s common for people to use these in their homes too for very similar reasons. With identity theft being possible using personal information such as addresses, contact details and your name, this is something to be wary of. Letters can often include anything from addresses to bank details and so it’s important that these documents are disposed of correctly. In order to prevent them ending up in the wrong hands, it’s recommended that you shred every piece of paper that holds any such details.

Which Shredding Machines Should I Buy?

0 Comments

Here at Afterprint, we’ve been supplying businesses with shredding machines for over 50 years. During this experience, we have liaised with countless companies regarding which shredding machines would be best for their place of work. Our aim is to offer our customers a simple yet effective experience when investing in new equipment. Therefore, in our latest article, we’ll be exploring our range of shredding machines to help figure out which would be best for you.

What Shredding Machines Are Available?

Thanks to our industry knowledge and trusted foundations within the print finishing arena, we have also been able to secure exclusive deals with leading brands such as Ideal. Ideal is the largest shredding machine manufacturer in the world, and that comes with good reason with the highest quality guaranteed. Our shredding machine range is split into two different categories. These are:

Our office shredding machines come in three different sizes, all capable of shredding different amounts of sheets. These machines are named according to size and consist of Small Office Shredders, Office Shredders and Office/Departmental Shredders. Alternatively, if you think you’ll be looking for a more industrial sized shredding machine, we have a variety of options there too. These include the Ideal 4606, 4108 and 5009 Industrial Shredders. Our industrial shredders are all capable of shredding anything from books and files to floppy disks and CDs.

What Should I Consider When Buying a Shredder?

Having read up to this point, it’s clear that your next decision will be on which machine your business currently required. If you’re going to be using your shredder to securely destroy documents but not consistently or in heavy loads, an office shredder will probably suffice. However, if the demands for shredding will be large and often, an industrial shredding machine will be more adept at coping under the pressure.

When you’re deciding on the type of shredding machine to purchase, it can be easy to jump into a decision based on price alone. However, it’s important that you avoid the temptation. Instead, you should consider three things. These are your business’ requirements, the machine’s ease of use and its reliability. That way, you can avoid a situation where the shredder that you’ve selected can’t keep up with the demand that you’re dealing with. Here at Afterprint, we understand that time is money and so we work hard to ensure that our customers make the right choice the first time of asking.

Why Should I Get a Shredding Machine?

The main reason for purchasing shredding machines is to maintain privacy and security in a business. Often in businesses, people will print out documents that are either confidential or sensitive. In these cases, it may be necessary that such documentation is destroyed once it is no longer being used. That’s where a shredder comes in. Being able to destroy a variety of different documents and data storage vessels quickly and easily, they are an efficient way to comply with regulations.

If you’re working for a business that regularly needs to dispose of sensitive documents, an industrial shredder can help you to avoid using an external company. Whilst third parties can often be safe, some of our clients prefer to be sure by bringing the shredding in house. Our industrial range is perfect for doing just that. Alternatively, if you’re just looking for a waste management system that can keep you organised, our office range is more than capable.
