Cross Cut vs. Confetti Cut – Is there a difference?
Cross cut and confetti style shredders both cut the paper both vertically and horizontally to shred sizes approximately 5/32″ x 2″ pieces of paper. There is no difference at all between a shredder marketed as a confetti style and a shredder marketed as a cross cut style. A strip cut shredder will cut in strips that are 1/4″ and the length of the shredded paper will be the same as the paper being shred.
