New to Secure Shredders?

This is a SEM classified paper shredder.

SEM Founder Leonard Rosen designed the world’s first paper disintegrator in 1968, and we’ve been building off of that idea ever since.

SEM classified paper shredders use cross-cut engineering and the latest technology to ensure a 1 x 5mm particle size, every time. SEM has earned the trust of the government by being a solution provider for over 50 years, with continued innovation to produce particle sizes even smaller than the NSA’s mandate.

Cross Cut Shredding

All SEM classified paper shredders use cross-cut technology to ensure that paper is shredded to a 1 x 5mm particle mandated by the NSA for classified and top secret paper destruction and by the National Archives (NARA, NIST 800-88) for CUI destruction.

At SEM, we take our commitment to data destruction even further by offering a cross-cut paper shredder that cuts to a 50% smaller particle size than mandated by the NSA — the SEM Model 344.
