Work From Home and Remote Office Shredders

Your business’s security is a top priority at the office and should be a top priority for your remote workforce as they print documents from home.

As many businesses have increased remote workforces, it’s important to make sure they have the proper security measures in place for their home printing. Remote workforces are now printing important and sensitive documents from home. Genesis has made it easy for businesses to provide their remote workforces with paper shredders in order to ensure while working remotely that their sensitive business information stays secure.

Don’t let your remote workforce just recycle or throwaway sensitive business documents in their personal trash without securely shredding them prior. Genesis has carefully selected these three shredder options that work best for proper disposal of sensitive documents.

There are many different types of paper shredders out there. We want you to be satisfied with the shredder that you choose. Below we have provided 3 easy steps on how to select the right shredder for your security needs. We’ve selected these 3 shredders based on how we understand your remote workforce needs in protecting your sensitive information.

Step 2: Feed Opening Width

The feed opening is the part of the shredder where the paper enters. The width varies and increases as model numbers increase which ranges from 8 inches to 18 inches.

There are several reasons why this is important:

• You must choose the shredder width based on the size of the documents you will be shredding. (The standard paper size is 8.5 x 11, easily fits in any of the shredders we’ve selected for you.
• If you plan to shred continuous form documents wider than 12 inches. It is best to focus on High Volume Shredders that offer a 16 inch feed opening which will allow you to shred continuously without constant watch.
• Continuous forms will constantly jam if you have a smaller feed opening.

Based on what size documents you will be shredding, choose the model with the appropriate feed opening. If you will be only shredding standard size paper you can consider the smaller models but you will have to take into account the power of the shredder (output) which is Step 3.

Step 3: Output/Speed

• The output is measured in pounds per hour and is an indication of the speed and power of the shredder. You need to know what kind of power you want to work with.
• Many times purchasing a bigger more powerful shredder pays off depending on your volume. If you are doing very little shredding the low models will be sucient.
