Why Oil Sheets Are the Preferred Way to Lubricate Your Paper Shredder

If you use a paper shredder regularly at home or in the office, keeping the cutting blades well-lubricated is essential for the removal of built-up debris and dust to ensure smooth performance and long life. While there are a few methods of lubricating shredders, oil sheets have become the preferred choice for both convenience and performance. Here’s why:

 • Mess-free easy application: Traditional shredder oil can be tricky to apply running the risk of spills and over-application. Oil sheets, on the other hand, are pre-lubricated and ready to use—just feed one through the shredder like a normal piece of paper. It’s clean, simple, and fast.

 • Even Distribution: One of the biggest advantages of oil sheets is that they deliver the perfect amount of oil exactly where it’s needed. As the sheet passes through, it evenly coats the blades, ensuring all moving parts get proper lubrication. This helps prevent friction, noise, uneven wear and extends the life of the blades.

 • Simple Maintenance Routine: Because they’re easy to use, oil sheets encourage more regular maintenance. It is generally recommend lubricating every third time you empty the bin, or as specified by the manufacturer. Simply keep a pack near the shredder and feed one as needed.

 • Compatibility and Safety: Oil sheets are designed specifically for shredders, using safe, non-flammable lubricants that won’t damage the internal components (like auto-feed rubber belts or rollers). They’re compatible with cross-cut and micro-cut shredders.
