Yeah, not too sure about that. I assume strip is a vertical cut, cross a horizontal cut and confetti a combination of the two?

i think strip just cuts the paper into long strips. not so secure, depending on orientation its really easy to pull complete lines of text off one.

cross cut makes very short and narrow 1/2" or so strips

confetti makes confetti

This is the way it is. You know, you can hire paper shredding services, too. They'll honestly come in a big paper-shredding truck and destroy your documents.

...even if you don't ask them to. :(
