Fellowes, Inc., the leading manufacturer of paper shredders, just launched a new line of superior shredding solutions for the home, home office and/or small office environments, designed to improve ease of use and safe handling, while providing additional storage space.

Proper disposal of personal documents is also essential for preventing identity theft, the nation's fastest growing crime. According to the National Crime Prevention Council, a paper shredder is an invaluable tool for ensuring personal records don't end up in the wrong hands.

"Five years ago, shredders were used primarily by businesses, but today, paper shredders have become as commonplace as personal computers in the home office," said John Fellowes, shredder marketing manager for Fellowes, Inc. "It's Fellowes' goal to continue to offer innovative shredding solutions that anticipate consumer needs." The new line of Fellowes shredders feature the following enhanced capabilities:

• Higher Level of Safety - Most machines are equipped with a Safety Lockout Function, which provides consumers with peace of mind when the machine is not in use. Machines that destroy credit cards and compact discs now feature a Separate Entry Flap to prevent small particles from coming out of the shredder.
• Superior Design - A Waste Opening is featured on some machines for home office use, eliminating the need for a separate waste bin. Other shredders are designed with the paper entry angled toward the user, which leaves the top of the shredder free for paper or general storage. All shredders feature designs that allow the user to empty the shedder more easily to minimize paper mess.
• Ease of Use - Machines designed for home environments now feature a Pivoting/Rotating Head and Single Handle to simplify emptying the waste bin. Shredders for small office use feature a Pull-Out Bin with a Clear Window, which allows the user to see when the basket is full for a more convenient emptying process.
  

Home office and small office shredders in the new line also include LED Indicator Lights to help the user identify problems quickly. All of the new shredders are equipped with a Sheet Capacity Selector, so users can quickly measure the appropriate amount of sheets the shredder can shred at once, thus minimizing jams.
