The Benefits of a Paper Shredder

The Benefits of a Paper Shredder
Every office has many tech tools they use everyday. However, the paper shredder is one of those tools that often gets looked over, though it has many benefits that every office is going to need. It is important to note that there are several types of shredders on the market, including:
The difference in these shredders is the level and intensity of jobs that the shredder faces. Most offices will find that an office shredder may work for their shredding needs. Yet, many corporations have commercial shredders that are meant to handle large jobs.
There are also several different blades that these shredders come equipped with, that defines just how secure these shredders are. These are levels 2 through 6. The higher the level, the more in the shredder will perform. For the most part, an office is going to want to go with a higher level of shredding to ensure all their information is safe.
For those who may be thinking that a shredder is not something that they need for their office, they need to consider the benefits of having one of these. For one, shredders provide a sense of privacy that is hard to find with other types of technology. When a paper is put through a shredder, it is no longer going to be the target for identity thieves, an important concept to offer potential clients. Secondly, paper shredders can also help the office to become more green. The paper that is shredded can be recycled into new products, making these a great green option for those who are trying to be more environmentally safe.
With these benefits in mind, most people wonder what type of shredder they should buy. One of the first factors to consider is just how much shredding you plan on doing? For those who are going to use this everyday, a personal shredder is not going to fit the ideal. Instead, a office shredder like the Fellowes Powershred 79Ci Cross Cut Shredder can handle the job level, while also providing a great level of security. For those who plan only on using their shredder once a week or less, then a personal shredder like Aurora Corp AS6000 Strip-Cut Shredder will be sufficient.
Once the level of jobs is determined, the person needs to consider if they need a certain cut on their shredder. The higher level shredders are going to provide the highest level of security, which consider before making a purchase. Budget, warranty and other factors will also affect your decision as to which shredder is going to fit your needs.

What are Expanding Folders?

What are Expanding Folders?
With all the choices of folders on the market, a person can easily become confused as to which ones they should purchase. The idea that all folders are alike is wrong, as each type of folder offers a bit different organisation level and style. The expanding folder is an accordion type folder that has several sections inside, allowing for multiple documents to be stored. These are available in recycled material and those that are made in plastic. With each option, the person will find they are getting several folders in one, making it the choice for many who want to utilise their space efficiently.

Sections in Expanding Folders

Though most expanding folders are going to come with several sections the person can utilise, with many having as many as ten sections per folder, there are those that are one big folder without sections. Either option is still going to give a person the space they need to store multiple documents. In most cases, these folders are going to expand anywhere from two to three inches in width to accommodate the papers that are being stored in these.

 Options with Expanding Folders

There are several options a person can choose from with these folders. Not only can the person choose how many sections they have, if any, these folders also come in an array of colours, allowing for colour coding filing if this is of interest. In addition, the person can get the expanding folder with a top that either ties down with a rubber band on the front, or those that Velcro closed. Another option that many people do not think about are the hanging expandable folders that are used in desk drawers. This is something that combines the usefulness of hanging folders with the versatility of expanding folders.
Expanding folders are used by many offices throughout the country. Many people use these types of folders to travel with, as they are durable and can allow the person to have everything they need within one folder. Along with this, the person can ensure that the folder is going to stay closed and stand up against the wear and tear that they may be put through. The types of offices that use these folders vary. However, most any office will find they can use an expanding folder for their paperwork with any type of business they may be involved in.

Six Nations 2017

It's starting to get tight at the top of the table as Ireland trail England by 3 points. Ireland next clash will be against Wales in the Six Nations. Lets hope we can see a game as intense as we witnessed in 2009 when Ireland won their first Grand Slam since 1948. Ireland have named an unchanged team that faced France. Rob Howley has come under criticism from many Welsh fans including famous rugby columnist Andy Howell who believes that young Sam Davies should be handed the 10 jersey ahead of Dan Bigger after some recent impressive performances for the Ospreys. It will be a well fought out win for Ireland if they can get over the Welsh hurdle especially without Ronan O'Gara and Brian O'Driscoll magic. Here at Office Supplies Ireland we have big rivalry going as we have a staff member who plays rugby down in Greystones and a French Colleague who also plays rugby and who hasn't had an easy last two weeks since the Ireland vs France game ended with an Irish victory.
