Cardboard shredder machines are designed to process used or excess cardboard into a eco-friendly, cost-effective packaging material. They're commonly used by warehouses, e-commerce businesses, and manufacturers to recycle their own waste cardboard into cushioning or filling material instead of buying bubble wrap, packing peanuts, or other void-fill.

Ideal for light packing and filling voids.
