    Frequently Asked Questions About High Security Paper Shredders

    What is a high security paper shredder?

    A high security paper shredder is designed to destroy sensitive documents by cutting them into extremely small pieces, making reconstruction virtually impossible. These shredders often meet P-5 to P-7 security standards used in government, legal, and medical environments.

    What are P-level security ratings?

    P-levels refer to the DIN 66399 standard for paper shredding. P-2 is the lowest security (strip cut), while P-7 is the highest, used for classified government documents. The higher the P-level, the smaller the shredded particle.

    What type of shredder should I choose?

    It depends on your needs. Strip cut (P-2) is suitable for general office use. Cross cut (P-4) is good for most confidential documents. Micro cut (P-5 to P-7) is best for sensitive or regulated data.

    Do I need an NSA approved shredder?

    Only if you're working with classified government documents. NSA-approved shredders meet strict P-7 guidelines required by federal agencies and contractors.

    Can high security shredders handle staples or credit cards?

    Many models can handle paper clips, staples, credit cards, and even CDs—but it varies by machine. Check each product’s specs for supported materials.
