Why Paper Shredders Should Have Landscape Sized Slots

Sunday, August 14, 2016 1:00 AM By Joe Crescenzi

Paper Shredders would be more efficient if they had landscape sized slots.

When you shred a piece of paper, just about every shredding machine I've ever seen has a slot just wide enough to fit the paper in portrait mode, which is about 8.5 inches wide.

Wouldn't it be faster and more efficient if the slot was large enough to fit the paper in landscape mode, which is 11 inches?
