Do you work from home? One of the most significant security issues we see home office workers deal with is document destruction. Excess paper clutter and lack of access to secure shredding leaves home offices vulnerable to security threats, potentially causing severe risk to their business. Fortunately, there is a solution: a Seal N’ Shred Bag—a simple, secure, and convenient solution for residential and home-office shredding needs.
What is the Seal N’ Shred Bag?
A Seal N’ Shred Bag is an easy, secure service perfect for residential customers who don’t want to throw personal documents in the trash or recycle or for work-from-home professionals who need to dispose of confidential documents properly. This service securely destroys everything, whether it’s old bank statements, tax records, client information, or personal files.
How Does a Seal N’ Shred Bag work?
Using a Seal N’ Shred Bag service is super easy! Here is how it works:
Step 1: Contact us at CI Informational Management to purchase a bag. After pre-paying for the service, we will mail the bag right to your preferred address for easy convenience.
Step 2: Fill the bag with your sensitive documents. Your Seal N’ Shred Bag can hold up to 30 lbs. of sensitive documents, so we encourage you to stuff it all the way to the fill line.
Step 3: Seal the bag! The seal protection will keep your bag closed up tight until it reaches our facility for shredding.
Step 4: Call for pick up! When you are ready, give us a call for pick-up. We will come get the bag and shred all its contents at our secure facility.
How Seal N’ Shred Compares to Personal Shredders
| Feature | Seal N’ Shred Bag | Personal Paper Shredder |
| Security | Complete document destruction | Shredded strips can be reconstructed |
| Convenience | Fill, seal, & schedule pickup | Must manually feed papers one by one |
| Capacity | 30 lbs. at once | Limited by shredder size |
| Time | Just to pack the bag | Hours spent shredding |
| Sustainability | Recycled & eco-friendly | Home shredder waste often ends up in landfills |
| Maintenance | No equipment required | Expensive machines that can jam, overheat, or break |
When it comes to residential and home-office shredding needs, many individuals think that simply using an at-home shredder is enough, but it honestly causes more problems than not. Let us explain further.
- Enhanced Security
First, at-home residential shredders typically use a strip cut shredding method. Unfortunately, this shredding method can easily be reconstructed by identity thieves.
On the other hand, professional shredding uses a cross-cut method, cutting your documents into particles much smaller than an office shredder can offer; thus, reducing privacy breach risks.
- Time Savings
At-home residential shredders take copious amounts of time. A single box of paper being manually fed into a machine can take hours to shred, and that doesn’t even take into account the time it takes to dump the shred, mess with paper jams, remove paperclips and staples, or let the machine cool down.
By using a Seal N’ Shred Bag service, the only time required is the call to order, packing the bag, and handing it off. It saves hours of time and hassle.
- Eliminates Equipment Hassles
Speaking of hassle, residential shredders often suffer from equipment issues, such as becoming jammed, overheating, or breaking due to overuse. These expensive machines can cost way more to purchase, repair, and maintain than simply use a shredding service.
- Improves Environmental Practices
Running a residential shredder is one of the least environmentally friendly practices for document destruction. Not only do home shredders suck up a lot of energy, but then you are left with shred waste. Most homeowners or home-workers throw away or burn the shred, which is not the best course of action.
By using a Seal N’ Shred Bag service, you are supporting a sustainable document disposal process. Commercial machines use less energy than an in-home shredder, and all the document waste is then recycled. For example, in 2024, CI Information Management recycled 4,203,339 pounds of paper – creating an incredible Green Impact!
- Certified Security
Lastly, when you use residential shredders, you still must securely dispose of the shred waste. You can’t simply throw it in the trash.
By using a professional shredding service, like us at CI Information Management, you are backed by a NAID AAA Certification, ensuring the highest industry standards for document destruction.
