The cost of a paper shredder is determined primarily by three characteristics - shred size (security), speed and capacity.  The shred size can  be a strip cut of varying width - 1/4" is a common size.  For greater security, some shredders are "crosscut."  The paper is cut both in length and width producing a confetti-like product.  The smaller the size of these pieces, the greater the level of security.

The speed of a shredder is the number of feet per minute it can accommodate.  The speed is affected by numerous factors, but two of the main factors are the size of the motor and the size of the shredded product.  The bigger the motor, the faster the speed.  But, the smaller the product, the slower the speed.  Two machines may have motors the same size, but a crosscut shredder may have a lower speed.

The capacity of the shredder is the amount of material it can cut at one time.  Like speed, numerous factors affect capacity.  Primarily, the size of the throat, motor size and shred size determines capacity.  A larger throat size and motor generally increases capacity.  The size of the shred is also a factor, however, and a crosscut machine will have a lower capacity, all other factors being equal.

When it comes to shred size (security), speed and capacity, there is often a trade off in features.  For a smaller, more secure shred size, there may be a sacrifice in speed and capacity.  Is security most important? Or, is speed or capacity more important?  By prioritizing the importance of shred size (security), speed and capacity, it is fairly easy to find the right machine for the right application.
