If you get a cross-cut shredder, the output is strips that are about 30mm long an 3mm wide. Big piles of them make great packing material ... just put the item to be shipped inside a plastic bag to keep the "shreddies" out. >> Hello Doug. Well, I considered shredding but there are a great many staples in our paperwork. I know, an industrial shredder _should_ be able to cope, but I have a few nasty experiences...... Contrary to popular belief, shredded material obtained in the manner described above does not make good packing. Plus it adds weight to the package. Far better is Sealed Air bubble, or for void fill, polychips. I had considered going to the Sealed Air expanding foam system, but this is relatively expensive for the start-up costs.
