Strip cut shredders are the most efficient option for high-volume, low-security shredding needs. They slice documents into long, vertical strips and are best suited for non-sensitive materials like junk mail, rough drafts, internal memos, and general paperwork. If you're comparing the difference between strip cut and cross cut shredders, strip cut models offer faster speeds and fewer maintenance issues but produce larger shred sizes. Most models meet the P-2 security level under DIN 66399, providing sufficient protection for basic document disposal in homes, schools, and offices that don’t handle confidential data.
Yes. Strip cut shredders are safe for everyday use and effective for disposing of general documents. However, they offer the lowest level of security (P-2) and are not suitable for shredding confidential or sensitive information.
Strip cut shredders slice paper into long vertical strips, while cross cut shredders cut paper into smaller, confetti-like pieces. Cross cut shredders provide better security for sensitive documents, whereas strip cut models are faster and better for high-volume, non-sensitive shredding.
Strip cut shredders are ideal for homes, schools, and offices that regularly dispose of non-sensitive documents like junk mail, drafts, and memos. They're perfect for high-volume shredding without the need for secure destruction.
Most strip cut shredders meet P-2 security standards under the DIN 66399 classification. This means documents are shredded into strips ≤ 6 mm wide — sufficient for basic internal paperwork but not recommended for private or regulated information.
