From inventing the personal paper shredder in 1990, to patenting the industry's only 100% Jam Proof technology, Fellowes, Inc. has always been at the forefront of the category's evolution. The 73Ci continues that tradition by coupling a stylish new design with cutting-edge technologies and Fellowes' most sought-after features, including:

  • 100% Jam Proof System that eliminates paper jams and powers through tough jobs
  • SafeSense® Technology which automatically stops shredding when hands touch the paper opening
  • A proprietary Energy Savings System which maximizes shredder energy savings 100% of the time – both in use and out of use
  • Capacitive touch screen controls
  • Heavy-duty Cross-Cut blades that destroy a single sheet of paper into 397 particles, making it nearly impossible to piece back together

"Shredding is one of the easiest and most effective ways to prevent identity theft and our focus is to create products that remove any barriers between consumers and this important habit," says Nancy Heaton, Director of Global Marketing, Business Machines, Fellowes, Inc. "The 73Ci intelligently adapts to the user's behaviors to make shredding confidential information a simple and hassle-free process."    

The launch of the 73Ci comes at a perfect time for consumers who are beginning to think about filing their taxes. Identity thieves frequently take advantage of the amount of confidential information that changes hands this time of year, making a paper shredder a vital household appliance to prevent this costly crime.

The 73Ci deskside shredder is available at office superstores and their websites for a suggested retail value of $199.99. For more information, visit www.fellowes.com.
