With the changing of the seasons comes a bounty of new things: fall colors, pumpkins, Halloween candy, chilly mornings. Every fall there are also a lot of new changes in the office products industry. New products are introduced and old ones are discontinued. This year, GBC ShredMaster one of the leaders in office machine manufacturing introduced a whole new line of paper shredders. GBC has new machines in every major shredder category (personal, small/medium office, and commercial grade) and all of these shredders are jam free to ensure a pleasant shredding experience. This article will take a look at the new ShredMaster machines and their features. Perhaps one of these machines would make a great addition to your office this autumn.
Personal Sized Shredders
GBC has two new entries in this category. The first is the GEX106 and it would be a good choice if you need a basic cross cut paper shredder to shred mail, old credit cards, and so on. (It has a Level 3 security rating.) It can shred 10 sheets at once and can easily fit under a desk so it can be out of the way. With a price of less than $200.00, it is a natural choice for budget conscious consumers.
The other new product in this category is the GBC GSX127. Like the GEX106, this machine is a cross cut unit with a medium level of security (Level 3) and it s also small enough to qualify as a deskside shredder. However, it has a much higher shred capacity and can destroy 12 sheets of paper at once. This is a good choice for people who need a reasonably priced machine with a half decent security level.
Shredders for Small and Medium Sized Offices
The Shredmaster GDM10 and GDHS7 are GBC s newest offerings for the small and medium sized office. Both of these units have a very generous 13 gallon wastebasket allowing you to spend more time shredding and less time hauling away waste. Both the GDM10 and GDHS7 are micro cut machines with fairly high security ratings: the GDM10 has a Level 4 rating, while the GDHS7 is a Level 5 shredder. These two machines can handle anything you feed them, including paper (up to 10 sheets at once with the GDM10), staples, credit cards, and more, so your office will be no match for an identity thief. Finally, although these shredders aren t really small enough to find under a desk, they do come with casters so it s no problem to move them around. Be aware that high security comes with a higher price ($500.00 to $800.00). But it delivers a superior level of security that is well worth the price.
Commercial Grade Shredders
These are the kings of the shredding world and GBC has come out with some truly impressive machines in this category. All five of GBC s new commercial grade shredders can pulverize paper and other types of media, and they each have a massive 30 gallon wastebasket. If you are doing a lot of shredding of sensitive documents, get a machine from this category. The GLS28 is a Level 2 strip cut shredder that can handle an astonishing 28 pages at once. And then there s the GLX20 and GLM11 that have lower page shredding capacities (20 and 11, respectively), but they also offer higher security levels, so they re great for doctor s offices and banks. And finally, there s the GLHS9. The GLHS9 is the granddaddy of this category. It s a remarkable micro cut shredder that offers Level 5 security and continuous operation as it shreds up to 9 sheets of paper per pass.
GBC s new ShredMaster lineup really has something to offer everyone who needs a paper shredder, whether it s a small deskside shredder for everyday shredding or a high volume, high security model that offers the ultimate in document security. This fall, consider getting a ShredMaster machine for your office.
