With businesses becoming more eco-conscious, the need for sustainable packaging solutions has never been more apparent.
Two things that go hand in hand are cardboard shredders and sustainability.
Designed to transform cardboard waste into eco-friendly packaging materials and void fill, these machines can effectively enhance your packaging and waste management processes.
Although there is a wide range of cardboard shredders on the market, the best ones for businesses keen to cut down on waste and costs can handle large volumes of cardboard.
In no particular order, here are our top 5 picks for businesses of all sizes:
1. Cushion Pack CP316S2i
Robust and easy to use, the Cushion Pack CP316S2i floor-standing cardboard shredder is an ideal starter machine for any business (and one of the more affordable shredders we stock at Get Me Packaging!).
This heavy-duty machine will instantly convert everyday cardboard waste into useful void fill before shipping – reducing the need to purchase bubble wrap and air pouches to ensure protection during transit.
It can cut cardboard up to 320mm wide and 12mm thick.
The CP316S2i shredder provides intuitive start, stop, and emergency functions to ensure safety and efficiency.
2. Cushion Pack CP320S2i
The Cushion Pack CP320S2i is another of our best-selling cardboard shredders for small and large businesses.
This floor-standing model uses a single phase 13 amp and produces 2-3 cubic metres of void fill per hour with a run time of up to 2 hours. It can cut through labels and tape, too!
The CP320S2i has an emergency stop button and a dust extraction outlet that collects and reduces airborne dust and cardboard particles – promoting a cleaner and healthier workplace.
3. Cushion Pack CP422S2i
The Cushion Pack CP422S2i is a single-phase shredding cardboard shredder that plugs into a standard 13amp socket.
It produces up to 6 cubic metres of scrunched cardboard every hour, making it ideal for demanding applications where large amounts of void fill are needed.
It also has an outlet for a dust extraction unit which will allow you to keep not only your work environment clean but the machine too, ensuring it runs smoothly for as long as possible.
4. Cushion Pack CP422S2i-3PH
This three-phase cardboard box shredding machine requires a 3-phase neutral and earth supply and can cut cardboard up to 420mm wide and 18mm thick.
Although it’s typically suited to larger businesses requiring a higher volume of packaging materials, smaller companies can benefit from the CP422S2i cardboard shredder’s excellent features, too!
This powerful machine is able to produce 6 cubic metres of void fill per hour and has a continuous run time of 4 hours.
Like the single-phase cardboard shredder, a dust extractor is recommended for this machine to ensure it functions efficiently and your work area is kept clean and safe.
5. Cushion Pack CP333NTi
Made from 70% renewable materials, the Cushion Pack CP333NTi ticks all the right boxes for small to medium-sized businesses looking for an eco-friendly table-top cardboard shredder.
Despite its small footprint, this table-top shredder is not to be underestimated.
It can cut through cardboard up to 320mm wide and 12mm thick (like the CP316S2i and CP320S2i machines) and produce 1-2 cubic metres of void fill per hour, helping to reduce plastic consumption.
The CP333NTi cardboard box shredding machine will give your waste cardboard and boxes a new lease of life and enhance your business’ reputation by demonstrating your commitment to recycling.
