How to destroy QVC packing slip?

JGalt — Sat, 14 Nov 2020 18:07:52 GMT

I have accumulated a stack of QVC packing slips (taking up breathing space in my house and reminding me how much money I have spent at QVC) because I hate manually shredding with scissors. Because of the sticky glue on the slips, I don't put them in my shredder where the rest of paper goes.

Does anyone have an easy way to deal with packing slips?

@JGalt- Perhaps stick them to paper ( old magazines pages, fliers etc) and put them through the shredder.

@JGalt I just fold them in half and put them through the shredder. No big deal!

I just put them through the shredder. They have a sheet attached to the stickee part, and have never had a problem.

When I am shredding paper - unwanted mailers, unwanted flyers, old bills - I put one/two packing slips between a folded sheet of paper.

Me too.

The only time I have a problem with anything that has an adhesive backing is when some of the backing may not be completely covered. Then I just put a plain sheet of paper on top of that and put it through. As long as the adhesive is facing paper, I've never had a problem.

Same. Was in fact just shredding some today. No problem so far, however I suppose folding them is a good idea if you are concerned.

@JGalt I use the larger size of Guard your ID, it is fast and covers any info you want including on glossy paper, just let it sit a few seconds or it will rub off.

I put them between two sheets of paper then in the shredder they go. Someone on here gave that tip and it works.

Thanks for the comments. While I admit I have put adhesive backed sheets between plain paper being shredded, that gum is still going through, being chopped into tiny pieces. Since a shredder is an expensive piece of equipment, I don't want to wreck it by gumming up the grinding blades.

But if you haven't wrecked your shredders, then I'll go for it.
