tearable
Can be shredded
Tearable describes something that can be torn—paper, fabric, perforated edges.
The word exists mainly as a pun on "terrible," appearing on joke merchandise and dad humor: I made a tearable pun about paper.
Outside wordplay, it's rarely used; people say easy to tear instead.
