Fellowes Puts an End to One-Size-Fits-All Shredders
Fellowes Puts an End to One-Size-Fits-All Shredders with Customized Powershred Series
New line addresses noise, jam and waste disposal issues found in common shredders
Between the hustle and bustle at work and at home, who needs the additional stress of a noisy, messy shredder? Fellowes, Inc., the nation's leading shredder company, today introduced a new Powershred® series for the office and home, specifically designed to vanquish shredder pet peeves and preserve user sanity.
The new Powershred series is comprised of 10 durable shredders, each uniquely designed to provide quiet, efficient shredding and satisfy the needs of a variety of users. Whether you work from home or in a small office, the Powershred series is loaded with new patent-pending features for safety and waste disposal, offering the perfect "fit" for any home or small business looking to protect themselves from identity theft.
A recent survey of shredder users who work from home or in small offices showed noise, jams and waste disposal are among the greatest annoyances experienced. Business users reported closing offices doors to shield others from an aggravating high-pitched squeal, while one home office user reported having to vacuum after every round of shredding.
"Shredders are not a one-size fits all appliance, " said Kristen Gehrig, marketing manager at Fellowes, Inc. "As protecting our identities becomes increasingly important, shredding is essential not only in major corporations, but also in homes, home offices and small businesses. Fellowes listens to what people want from a shredder, and we are responding with a series of shredders that meet a variety of needs."
New Powershred Series
For those looking to shred smaller amounts at home, such as mail solicitations and unwanted credit card applications, the Personal series (P-series) is a good fit. The P-45C and P-55C models, for example:
Protect users, children and pets with a patent-pending safety lock
Feature a proprietary pivoting head handle for easy waste disposal and a wide waste opening to serve the dual purpose of waste can and shredder
Offer maximum protection with its confetti-cut capabilities
Chew through staples and credit cards
On the work front, the need for shredders among small businesses will undoubtedly increase with the passage of The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act or (FACTA), which requires all employers and business owners to properly dispose of documents containing certain consumer information. For ultimate shredding in a small business environment, the Home Office (PS-series) and Small Business (SB-series) series feature models with the same patent-pending safety lock and confetti-cut protection, but accommodate the needs of people working from home and in small businesses. The PS-65C, SB-85C and SB-95C models, for example:
Feature powerful motors to prevent overheating with continuous use and further reduce machine noise
Simplify shredding with an angled "mouth" so you can easily feed paper into the shredders' throat - even when the machine is located under your desk
The Fellowes Powershred® series is currently available at major office retailers nationwide.
