Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does a Cardboard Shredder work?

There are 2 types of cardboard shredder available, those where you need to pre-trim your cardboard pieces down to a specific size and those that will automatically trim you pieces for you. Luckily, all the shredders offered by QCR have an inbuilt trimmer making them a highly efficient choice.

For those that do not have a trimmer, first you will need to flatten your cardboard boxes and cut into strips of the correct size to feed into the machine, this can be done quickly and easily with a Safety Box Cutter Knife. For those that do have an in-built trimmer, any excess will be cut off automatically. Once the machine has been fed with material, you will receive shredded cardboard that is suitable for packaging, animal bedding and more - at a minimal noise level. Corrugated Cardboard Shredders are perfect for businesses who wish to protect their products from damage but want to avoid using loose fill chips and instead prefer a cardboard-based void fill solution.

Some of our shredders are portable and so can be easily stored away when not being used.

2. Why hire a Cardboard Shredder to make packaging materials?

When shredded, cardboard is a great packaging material due to its cushioning properties and is more environmentally friendly than plastic alternatives such as bubble wrap. There are many different types of packaging materials on the market including loose fill chips, foam protection and air pouches however, they are often expensive to purchase. Hiring a waste cardboard shredder is an ideal way to reduce your organisations costs on packaging materials and also helps to reduce the cost of waste collection for scrap cardboard. If kept clean, your customer will be able to easily recycle or reuse the shredded cardboard packaging after they have received their order.

The good news is that with a QCR rental, you can upgrade to a larger machine during the rental period with no penalty. Put simply, if you rent a small cardboard shredder but want to upgrade to a larger shredder a year later (but you signed a 5-year deal originally), we can swap the machine over, you will pay a higher cost per month (as you now have a larger machine) but the remaining months of the original contact will stand (in this case 4 years) but there are no additional charges for amending your contract.

If you're still undecided, why not take a look at the QCR Customer Review below from a Online Retailer of automotive parts and accessories:

"When we realised QCR offered a machine which could provide us with free packaging, we jumped at the chance.
