Would this shred crimped paper to make gift basket filler? How wide/thick/thin are the shreds?

I believe so since the shredded pieces are so compact together but I can measure it for you and let you know asap to be more precise. But just by looking at them I can say they are pretty slim and as thick as the paper you shred.

Yes, it will work for paper bags. You will be limited in number folding the up. However, it will work well for that purpose.

strips, but i suggest you spend $10 or $15 more and get a nice electric one mine gave out on the first bag orf shredding and i did not do all at the same time. also it only takes a paper the size of a business envelope one paper at a time.

I have not tried shredding paper, but I don't think it would be a good idea. Paper is going to be a lot harder to break into tiny bits than leaves or wood. I could see the shredding chamber clogging up with pieces of paper too large to go through the screen holes at the bottom.

I am sure it will but not all at once. It would have to be ripped into smaller sections to shred it. It can handle about 6 sheets of paper easily. The opening can only handle an 8.5" piece of paper though.

The basket is quite small. I think the side has a small piece you can pull out to extend it. Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to double check since I'm currently not where the shredder is. Maybe another customer can verify?

the width of the shred depends on the size of the head of cabbage, the thickness depends on how much pressure you use while moving the cabbage across the blades approx. 1/8". hope this helps glenn

They are about an 1/8th of an inch although it depends on how the paper goes into the shredder.

Possible the thickness of a corrugated cardboard. A little less than 3/16 inch

I don't know if it shreds them, but I leave both staples and paper clips on the paper and it handles it with not problem.

I was able to cut fowers and heart shapes using the Cricket machine. Paper is very thin I would recommend buying a little extra in case they rip.

Yes you can, depending on the thickness. The anti-jam feature does the same thing I used to do manually with my old shredder: rewind and retry...it "bites" through the thicker envelopes (but keep it in reason!).

I can't really remember what the size was as I got this as a gag gift fir a friend. But I would gave to say it was probably 1/4 of an inch, mabe a little bit wider as you could tell what you were shredding.

I haven't tried packing material but it does shred 12 pages at a time and credit cards very well. Also, thick card stock from advertisers so I would think it would.

I just got this. I have cut magazines up to 0.5 inches thick. I bought it to digitize my magazine collection. I haven't tried to cut any thick types of paper.

From my experience, yes. I usually just place the entire unopened envelope into shredder an shred it. Never had a problem yet. Keep in mind that you wouldn't want to place a really thick one and try to shred it. But so far I haven't found any junk mail that wouldn't shred. I think you'll be fine.

I don't know I bought this to make paper beads. It seems to unwrap quickly but maybe on a less sounded surface it may work well. Hope this helps a little. Heliena
