Frequently Asked Questions about Shredders for the Queens Area

Deciding to implement a document shredding system for your business can be a daunting task. It’s understandable why many in the Queens Area may have questions about the process. The good news is that whether you’re in the market for a new shredder or you’re searching for optimum shredder maintenance solutions, DEC Office Solutions, Inc. can provide you with the answers to any questions and the assistance that you need. Here are a few of the most frequently asked questions we get when it comes to shredders and document destruction.


Should I Buy a New shredder or Opt for a shredder Rental?

The answer to this question really depends on your budget and business needs. Buying a new shredder or printer outright requires an upfront investment but also offers a better long-term return on investment as you won’t need to continue to make payments. However, if you’ve got a limited budget for a short amount of time, then rental may be the best option for you. Plus, you’ll have access to DEC Office Solutions’ wide selection of equipment and our helpful team is always on hand to make sure you get the best advice and guidance.


What is the Best shredder Solution For My Business?

The answer to this question really depends on the type of business you run and how often you’ll need to use it. It is important to identify what type of documents you’ll be shredding, how many documents you’ll need to shred, and how often you expect to be shredding. Knowing the answers to these questions will help you figure out what type of shredder is best for your business. You can rely on DEC Office Solutions’ staff to help you find the best shredder for your needs.


What are the Different Types of shredders?

When it comes to shredders, there are three main types that are most commonly used in businesses. There are strips-cut, cross-cut, and micro-cut shredders. Strip-cut shredders are the most basic type and they typically use a single-blade to cut the documents into long, thin strips. Cross-cut shredders create small particles from paper documents and are ideal for businesses that need to shred confidential or sensitive documents. Micro-cut shredders create particles that are nearly impossible to reassemble, making them the most secure type of shredder.


What Supplies/Accessories are Necessary for My shredder?

The necessary supplies and accessories needed for a shredder depend on the type of shredder you have. Generally, you’ll need lubricating sheets, shredder bags, and perhaps a few spare parts. DEC Office Solutions can provide you with all the necessary supplies and accessories required to keep your shredder in top working order.


What Maintenance is Necessary to Ensure a shredder Operates Properly?

In order to ensure that your shredder operates correctly and safely, regular maintenance is essential. This includes properly cleaning the shredder, checking for worn or damaged parts, and lubricating the blades. DEC Office Solutions can provide your business with regular shredder maintenance and we also offer a breakdown and repair service if any issues arise.
