The strength of the Cushion Pack shredder is its ability to easily shred cardboard boxes with staples without causing damage to the shredding mechanism.  With its unique accumulating design, the Cushion Pack shredders produce the softest cushioning material in the industry.  Start with the Cushion Pack CP316, it is the best long term investment for the company that does not have 220 volt, 3 phase electricity.  The CP316 is a 115 volt cardboard shredder that will shred boxes up to 1/3” in thickness.  

The industrial customer that has 220-240 volt, 3 phase electrical supply should then evaluate the PacMaster S/B or the Cushion Pack CP422. Note that all Cushion Pack cardboard shredders have a built in vacuum port as a standard feature, whereas it is optional with other shredders.  With the capability to shred cardboard boxes up to 6/10” the CP422 has developed a loyal customer base.  

If you have stiff and hard double wall cardboard boxes, then choose the Cushion Pack CP430 with the capability to shred boxes up to .78” in thickness or the even more robust CP440 that can shred boxes up to .85” in thickness.  The CP440 features an extra strong 4.0 kW motor and heavy duty gear box and chain and is unsurpassed by any cardboard shredder.

For the most complete engineering and technical support, we provide a preventive maintenance DVD for PacMaster, Cushion Pack, and HSM shredders.  

Cost of Replacement parts is a very important consideration.  Some manufacturers have very expensive replacement parts.  Other brands of shredders do not require expensive cutting cylinders and offer quick and easy change out of the cutting block.  Shop carefully and you will determine that the brand that offers the most extensive choice of shredders is probably the brand that produces the best shredder.
