Description

GBC 1656 Shredmaster Wide Format Strip-Cut Paper Shredder Cardboard

The GBC Shredmaster 1656 is a desktop wide format strip-cut paper shredder built for high-volume shredding tasks. It accepts wide format sheets — wider than standard letter/legal — and can handle cardboard as well as paper in a single pass. Power comes from a General Electric AC motor (model AM855C, visible on the interior nameplate), driving a full-width blade assembly across the feed slot.

Applications

The GBC Shredmaster line was designed for office and institutional environments where large volumes of documents — including wide format drawings, blueprints, and oversized sheets — needed secure destruction. The 1656 is particularly suited to engineering offices, print shops, architectural firms, and any setting that regularly produces large-format paper waste alongside standard documents. Strip-cut shredders of this type were the workhorse of document disposal through the 1980s and 1990s, valued for their high throughput and ability to handle heavier stock such as cardboard and folder stock without jamming. Units like this remain useful wherever throughput and feed-width matter more than the fine cross-cut particle size required for classified or sensitive destruction.
