While shredder brand, size and model is important, What Colour Should I Choose?

When choosing a new paper shredder, not just the shape alone but the colour can also be a deciding factor.

These choices based on aesthetics are often decided almost on a subconscious level and for this reason it pays to consider advantages of choosing the right colour.

Let’s look-into the aesthetics and practicalities of dark versus light coloured shredders.

Dark Coloured Shredders: Of sleek appearance, these can be a great visual compliment to the modern office. Dark colours with a matt finish are less prone to show up marks and scratches compared to dark coloured shredders with a gloss finish. Like anything of a dark colour, a dusty surface will easily be visible. Dark coloured office machines blend well into most office settings.

Light Coloured Shredders: Of modern appearance and design, be it light grey or white, these visually pleasing office machines blend well into most office environments. Light coloured office machines with a matt or gloss finish are less prone to show up marks and scratches compared to dark gloss-finishes. An added benefit often overlooked is paper shredders of lighter colour, do not easily show dust on the surface compared dark colours.

The brand, design and colour of shredder is certainly a personal choice, often made in collaboration. Ultimately the logical choice of brand, model and colour will be made with practicality also in mind. With single and repeated office fit outs, the shredder brand and colour will be decided prior to the build and often become standardised for corporate and government clients having multiple office fit outs.
