Mid-State Litho is an authorized dealer path for commercial paper shredders from MBM Destroyit and Formax. This hub covers deskside office units, departmental machines, high-security shredders, industrial systems, and media destruction equipment for print shops, offices, and facilities across Michigan and the Great Lakes.
Related hubs and brand pages: MBM Corporation, Formax, high-security shredders, cross-cut shredders, and micro-cut shredders.
Hard drives, optical media and solid-state media are a different machine and a different compliance question. See hard drive shredders and data destruction. Corrugated is different again: a cardboard perforator turns boxes into void fill rather than destroying information. See cardboard shredders.
Sizing a shredder is a security level (strip / cross / micro / high-security), daily sheet volume, and placement (deskside vs departmental vs industrial) conversation. Confirm freight and availability on the quote. Financing and leasing is available through Mitsubishi HC Capital and LEAF Commercial Capital. Call 1-800-343-4231.

How to choose a paper shredder
Cut type is the decision, and it is not reversible after purchase. Strip cut is the fastest and the least secure, and it suits internal paper you simply want unreadable. Cross cut is the working default for customer records and anything with a name and an account number on it. Micro cut and super micro cut produce particles small enough for regulated and classified material, and they run slower and cost more per sheet to do it. Match the level to the most sensitive document the machine will ever see, not to the average one. If a regulation or a contract names a required level, tell us the standard and we will confirm the machine against the manufacturer's rating before you buy.
Four decisions settle most quotes.
Security level. Strip-cut for routine paper. Cross-cut for confidential. Micro-cut and rated high-security for regulated data.
Daily volume. Deskside for one desk. Departmental for shared floors. Industrial for continuous waste streams.
Media. Paper only vs multimedia, optical, or hard drives.
Brand fit. MBM Destroyit and Formax both cover office through high-security. Multi-brand honesty applies.

Paper shredders FAQ
What is the difference between strip-cut, cross-cut, and micro-cut?
Strip-cut makes long strips and is fast for routine paper. Cross-cut makes small chips for higher security. Micro-cut makes the smallest particles for the strictest destruction requirements.
Which shredder do I need for confidential or regulated documents?
Confidential work usually wants cross-cut. Regulated or classified data needs micro-cut or a rated high-security model. We match cut size to your standard.
