Staples Shredder

The cost of identity theft is massive, compared to the cost of a reliable shredder. Just in time for tax season, Staples is here to help with the new 10- Sheet and 15-sheet Cross Cut Shredders. As is common with Staples shredders, one version (10- sheet) is designed for personal use in the home or office, while the 15 sheet is geared toward higher demands in the business or shared setting.

    • These two shredders feature a Pull-Out pin with built-in Bag Management to easily empty shreds
    • Lockout key available on the 10-sheet inserts at the top of the shredder and controls power. Without the key, the shredder is non-functional and provides a safer environment in the home.
    • Available in Staples and Staples.com
    • Retail price: $99.99 for 10-Sheet and $159.99 for 15-Sheet

These are just a few of the great office products you will find at Staples or Staples.com today! For all of your home office needs, please be sure to check out Staples today!

    Randomly, my favorite staples product are these super cute lanyards/necklaces that have a magnetic closure in the back, with beads so they really look like necklaces instead of a typical lanyard. My cousin showed me one this weekend and I love it! She keeps her craft scissors on it so she never loses them while she is crafting. I need one so badly now. lol.
