We recently added a fascinating new product line to our Web site. Office Zone completed an agreement with Applied Magnetics Lab., Inc. to distribute their line of shredders and data destroyers. Since 1973, the company has manufactured a wide variety of specialty equipment including devices that drive artificial hearts, refine plutonium, separate dirt from potatoes, and locate unexploded ordinance located deep underwater.

Today, the company fabricates some of the most incredibly durable shredders in the industry. Applied Magnetics’ specialty is making sure you have a way to destroy information in such a manner that even the most determined adversary cannot possibly recover it.

Shredders by Applied Magnetics are so durable, they have never had a unit returned due to damaged or worn parts. A good example is the Infostroyer 301. This model was recently identified by Research and Development Magazine as one of the 100 Most Significant Technology Products of the Year.

The Infostroyer 301 is a shredder that destroys large quantities of paper, ID badges, magnetic tape, credit cards, optical disks and more. This machine has a self-healing feature that actually repairs damage to itself if it is ever injured by foreign objects. It is the only shredder on the market capable of doing this.

Be sure to visit the Office Zone Web site to discover more interesting features about the new shredding and data destroying machines from Applied Magnetics.

We recently added an unusual but impressive cutter to the Office Zone Web site. It’s the Fletcher-Terry FSC substrate cutter. This rather large, industrial-strength cutter performs quick and accurate cuts on a wide variety of most substrates including oversized poster paper, vinyl, and other surfaces that you can print on with a wide-format printer.

The 65″ Fletcher Substrate Cutter is a heavy-duty machine built to last for years to come. It delivers years of consistent, flawless cutting. It leaves behind very little debris, and may be used in the same area as your wide-format printer or laminator. The Fletcher-Terry 65-inch Substrate Cutter (FSC) also cuts Dibond, corrugated plastic, aluminum, alumalite, PVC, Econolite, acrylic, gatorboard, polycarbonate, foam board, polystyrene, and glass.

Taking care of the basic survival needs of employees after a disaster is not something most corporate executives even consider. However, providing emergency supplies and solutions should be a high priority for any business or organization. With Office Zone’s unique Office Emergency Kit, this doesn’t have to be a difficult task.

Our office emergency pack includes everything needed to sustain 15-30 people in the event of an emergency for 72 hours. This is typically how long it takes emergency relief teams to rescue most victims. Be sure to take a closer look at our Office Preparedness kits today.

If you work in a medical clinic, doctors office, or you are simply looking for an attractive tissue box cover for your office, take a look at Office Zone’s new tissue and glove box holders. Most medical clinics keep a handy box of tissues in the reception area for patients. They also typically use convenient wall-mounted latex glove dispensers.

The new model GBW11-1 wooden tissue/glove box cover from Wooden Mallet dramatically improves the appearance of tissues and gloves by covering them with a beautiful oak frame. The GBW11-1 holds one box of tissues or gloves. Other models are available that hold more boxes.

Office Zone’s wooden glove and tissue boxes are crafted out of 3/4-inch thick oak sides. The bottoms consist of 1/4-inch thick laminate front panels. Be sure to take a closer look at our wide selection of wood glove and tissue box holders today.

Our new products team recently returned from a trade show in Chicago where we had the opportunity to see several new office machines and supplies. One of the more interesting products was the new GuilloMax Plus stack paper cutter from Tamerica. If you require a precise stack cutter but have a somewhat limited budget, then the GuilloMax Plus Manual Paper Cutter may be the machine for you.

The Tamerica Guillomax stack cutter safely slices up to 800 sheets of paper at a time with a simple pass of a blade. The machine has a laser guide for added cutting precision. This particular model has an interesting wheel-driven clamp located at the top — much like a submarine hatch — that keeps your stack of paper firmly in place. This feature alone ensures your stack of paper stays put, thus eliminating slipping and cutting errors.

This is a precise, heavy-duty cutter and the quality is very similar to a Dahle stack cutter. It’s particularly comparable to the Dahle 848 industrial guillotine paper cutter. Be sure to take a closer look at the Tamerica GuilloMax Plus Manual Paper Cutter today.

Office Zone’s new Wall Desk makes a convenient bill paying station or simply a place to take down a few quick notes. The Wall Desk from Wooden Mallet features several conveniences of a traditional desk, yet takes up a fraction of the space.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to test-drive the new ABC110 Coin Counter/Sorter. It’s an affordable machine ($192) equipped with a lot of useful features. My daughter had a large jar of assorted coins that she had planned to wrap and deposit at the bank. I told her not to bother with counting all those coins by hand, I had a machine at work that would do the job in just a few minutes.

This gave me the perfect opportunity to put the ABC110 to the test. After dumping $66.50 (according to the machine) worth of change in the machine’s hopper, I pressed the start button. I quickly realized that you need to be sure to align the coin tubes in the right slots, or you end up with loose change all over the table.

After placing the coin tubes in their respective positions, everything was finally ready to go. I then discovered that the ABC110 requires that you specifically tell it how many coins to drop into each tube. What I mean by this is you need to let the machine know that it must stop after dropping 40 nickels in the nickel tube, for example. This is how many nickels there are in a $2 paper coin wrapper. You simply do this by pressing the batch button, and continuing to press it until the desired coin denomination is found. You then press the plus or minus buttons until the desired number is found.

After a plastic coin tube is filled, the machine pauses until you empty it and press the start button. To fill a coin wrapper, you simply open up the paper wrapping, stick it into the opened end of the plastic tube full of coins and tip the coins into the wrapper. It’s as easy as that.
