Can cross cut paper shredders cut staples and credit cards?
It depends. Some shredders are able to handle staples and credit cards and some can even handle paper clips. It mostly depends on how small the cut is. For high security shredding it is not possible to do metal or other things because the cut is so small. But for what is considered a level 3 ( the lowest cross cut security level-appropriate for most individuals and general small businesses) most of these machines can handle staples paper clips, credits cards and even CDs.
