In a particle or cross-cut shredder, the documents you entrust to your device for destruction are cut both lengthwise and crosswise. The size of the resulting particles determines the security level and thus the intended use of the device. Compared to a strip-cut shredder, the particles not only provide higher data security, as reconstruction is more difficult than with strips, but they also take up slightly less space in the waste container because they are more compact. Therefore, a device with particle cutting is ideal for both home and office use, especially if you place a high value on data security.
