ASK DAVE NEWSLETTER

--CD Shredders--

"Why would I ever need a CD shredder?"

You may have noticed that our selection of CD shredders continues to grow. As more and more writable CDs are used in the office place, the need for CD shredders will grow. This includes writable DVD disks.

These disks are often thrown in the garbage. Much like secure paper documents, CDs and DVDs containing sensitive information are just as vulnerable to identity theft as paper. Many shredders are now capable of shredding CDs, DVDs, credit cards and paper.

You can find our entire selection of DVD & CD shredders by going here: http://www.abcoffice.com/shred_cds.htm?NL.

--Shrink Wrap 101--

"You have so many different shrink wrap machines on your site. Where do I begin to determine which one I need?"

Determining which shrink wrap machine you need may seem like a difficult task. You will first want to educate yourself on the different types of shrink wrap systems in order to make an educated decision. After you know what is available, you can then ask yourself some basic questions and determine which machine you need.

Shrink wrap machines are broken up into two categories. There are I-bar sealers and L-bar sealers.

I-bar shrink wrap machines use a single bar to cut film. These machines usually require at least two passes to completely encapsulate a product in shrink film. A heat gun is usually used to shrink the film around the product. I-bar shrink wrap systems are good for low to mid-volume shrink wrapping. You can find all our I-bar shrink wrap systems here: http://www.abcoffice.com/shrgun1.htm?NL.

L-bar shrink wrap systems use an L-shaped bar to cut film around a product. These machines only require one pass of the arm to fully encapsulate a product in film. A heat gun can be used with a stand-alone machine, but most L-bar sealers include a tunnel. Shrink tunnels evenly distribute heat around a product for fast shrink wrapping. These machines are designed for mid to high- volume shrink wrapping. You can find our L-bar systems by going here: http://www.abcoffice.com/shrtunnl.htm?Nl.

Now that you know a little about shrink wrap machines, you will want to ask yourself some basic questions:

-How many products will I shrink wrap per day/month? -How many people will be using the machine? -Where will you be using/storing the machine? -What will you be shrink wrapping?

Once you have answers to these questions, you can call (800-658-8788) or e-mail (info@abcoffice.com) a customer service representative for a recommendation.

We also have a great shrink wrap guide available. This will have you up to speed on shrink wrap systems in minutes: http://www.abcoffice.com/shrink_wrap_guide.htm?NL.

--Paper Counters Q&A--

"Where can I find your paper counters?"

You can find our entire selection of paper counters by going here: http://www.abcoffice.com/pgcount1.htm?NL.

"Why would I need a paper counter?"

Paper counters are a fast and efficient way to count hundreds and thousands of sheets of paper in seconds. They can batch count and tab paper if needed. They are great for any business where paper is used, sold or handled on a daily basis.

"Are paper counters accurate?"

Paper counters are highly accurate. We test our paper counters on a regular basis and they are 99.99% accurate.

"Where can I see a demonstration of a paper counter?"

You can see a great demonstration of our Max Bantam paper counter, which is very comparable to all paper counters, by going here: http://www.abcoffice.com/video-demos.htm?pgnm=bantam&title1=Max-Bantam+Table+Sheet+Counter?NL.

"Is there any way I can see a paper counter in person before purchasing it?"

We offer live video demonstrations of our paper paper counters. We have a Max Bantam paper counter, a Customer Choice product, in our showroom and are more than happy to demonstrate it live, over the Internet. You can do this by making a live video demo request here: http://www.abcoffice.com/online-demo.htm?Product=bantam?NL.
