Shred size is actually a matter of security and the smaller the paper is shredded and the rougher the edges - the better. Not to mention, it is a key compliance requirement for several industries.
Shred-it uses cross-cut shredders that shred paper to two and a half inches by three quarters of an inch (2.5” x 0.75”), which complies with the shred size requirements set by the National Association for Information Destruction, commonly known as NAID.
We also have the capability to do a finer, high security shred for organizations that have more stringent compliance requirements.
To add yet another level of security, all the shredded paper is mixed with shredded paper from earlier jobs in the day.
