Choosing the right feed for shredders in your office will save time and effort to destroy confidential, sensitive information.
Some points to think about:
- Budget
- Space constraints
- Any noise requirements?
- Paper size commonly used in the workplace: A3 or A4?
Here are some comparisons for you to weigh the pros and cons for manual feed vs. auto feed shredders.
Manual Feed:
- Shreds faster
- Requires human intervention
- Lower noise level
- Has a limit to the amount that can be shredded
Auto Feed:
- Shreds slower
- Minimum human intervention
- Higher noise level
- Usually bulky
- Can shred higher volumes of paper
