We service an insurance company on a regular basis and shred all of their confidential documents.

We also service them on a quarterly basis and shred old folders that consist of paper, and a plastic film covering on the front of the folder.

Their previous shredding vendor had problems shredding this material. Due to the older and inefficient equipment of the previous company, their shredder actually melted the plastic into the shredding knives and caused damage to their equipment.

Our Shred-Tech equipment was able to destroy over 700 pounds of this material in a matter of 20 minutes.

We provided a solution to a prospect that is now a regular client of Incred-A-Shred.
