Icon for questionFrequently Asked Questions about our Shredders

DO YOU WANT TO MAKE ECO-FRIENDLY PACKAGING FROM YOUR CARDBOARD WASTE?

 

A Cardboard Shredder is a sustainable solution to repurpose and recycle corrugated cardboard waste into void-fill material. These machines pay for themselves by helping reduce the cost of packaging material, and waste disposal.

 

WHAT IS A CARDBOARD SHREDDER?

A Cardboard Shredder is a commercial/industrial machine that lets you instantly recycle and repurpose your cardboard waste into packaging material. These cardboard recycling machines can produce cushioning strips or mats of cardboard.

 

IS A CARDBOARD SHREDDER THE SAME AS A PAPER SHREDDER?

A Cardboard Shredder isnt meant to shred paper or confidential documents, so dont confuse this machine with a paper shredder as they are very different devices.

While the purpose of a paper shredder is to destroy confidential paper documents by cutting them into unreadable particles or confetti to protect peoples privacy, the purpose of a Cardboard Shredder is to make packaging and void-fill material.

Although a Cardboard Shredder is not a paper shredder, it does operate a bit like one. The machines work to cut the cardboard material and transform it into tiny chips, long strips or perforated sheets, depending on the type of shredder used. The purpose of the machine is to reuse the processed cardboard as a free packaging material.

Cardboard packaging material is not only cheaper, but also more environmentally friendly than using plastic.

So if your business uses a lot of packaging material for shipping products and you have lots of cardboard waste, a Cardboard Shredder is an ideal solution to reduce costs on this material and waste disposal of your scrap cardboard.

 

HOW DOES A CARDBOARD SHREDDER WORK?

A Cardboard Shredder cuts or shreds your cardboard waste into (long) strips or (small) chips. Both the strips and chips are great to use as void-fill and easily replace plastic packing peanuts. Cardboard Shredders can also make cardboard padding that can be wrapped around items.

Cardboard Shredders can shred any corrugated cardboard. The only requirement is that the cardboard is flat, such as flattened cardboard boxes or sheets. Therefore thick cardboard rolls cant be processed by these machines because they are too thick. It should also be noted that kraft paper cant be shredded by these machines because it is too thin.

Cardboard Shredders are user-friendly and very easy to operate. Heres just how easy it is:

  1. Turn the machine on by switching the on/off/switch.
  2. Grab a piece of cardboard and feed it into the front opening of the shredder.
  3. Thats it! The shredded cardboard falls out of the back of the machine ready for use.

 

It is strongly recommended to remove any staples or other hard metal objects from the cardboard to prevent wear-and-tear damage to the cutting heads. Occasional shredding of stapled cardboard will likely not cause any problems, but constant cardboard processing with metal items such as staples, is likely to damage the cutting cylinders. It is best to remove the staples and other sharp metal items because if you use the shredded cardboard as packaging material for fragile products, these metals could damage your fragile product!
