Personal checks are drawn on an individual account rather than a company one. They carry your name and address rather than a business name, and they are used for the payments that sit outside a business ledger.
Rent to a landlord who does not take transfers. A contractor working on your house. Tuition, club fees, a gift, a deposit. Plenty of payments still work better on paper, and plenty of recipients still prefer it.
They also matter for anyone who has recently changed bank, moved home, or had an account compromised. In each case the old checks become unusable overnight and a replacement is not optional.
Personal or Business Checks?
This is the distinction worth getting right before you order, because the two are not interchangeable in practice.
Personal checks are drawn on an individual account and carry your name. Business checks are drawn on a company account, carry the business name, and are usually larger with more room for payment detail and authorized signatures.
If you are paying suppliers, contractors on behalf of a company, or staff wages, you want the business range. Mixing personal and business payments through one account creates bookkeeping problems that outlast the convenience. Browse business checks for the full range, or manual business checks if you write them by hand.
Running a sole proprietorship through a personal account? That is common and these checks will serve, but a separate business account and business checks make tax time considerably easier.
Two quantities are available.
50 checks. Around $1.50 per check.
100 checks. Around $1.10 per check.
Doubling to 100 brings roughly a quarter off your per check cost. No code or promotion is needed, since the saving is built into the quantity you select.
Personal check usage tends to be slower and less predictable than business, so weigh the saving against how long a box will realistically last. A useful rule of thumb is to count how many checks you wrote in the last twelve months. If you cannot recall writing more than a handful, 50 will likely see you through a long stretch.
Current pricing appears on this page as you select a quantity, and you can add additional checks to increase the saving further.
A choice of check colors is available, selected during ordering. You see a layout preview before anything goes to production, so you can confirm your details read correctly before we print.
That preview is exactly what it says. Before printing, our team finalizes the alignment and removes the white background, so the finished check is properly set up rather than printed straight from the on screen version. Alignment is handled by people who print checks every day rather than left to you.
Take a moment over the name and address as they will appear on the face of the check. It is the detail most people skim and the one most likely to prompt a reprint if it is wrong.
Two related formats are worth knowing about depending on how you manage your money.
If you track personal finances in QuickBooks, QuickBooks personal checks are formatted to print from that software, three to a page with a stub on the left for record keeping.
If you want a checkbook that travels rather than one that stays at home, pocket checks come in a vinyl cover with deposit slips included, though those are set up for business accounts.
Depositing checks as well as writing them? An endorsement stamp handles the back of the check in one press and keeps your endorsement consistent, which matters more than most people expect when depositing by phone.
A custom signature stamp is available if you sign repeatedly and want consistency. Mailing payments? Double window envelopes save writing the address twice and keep the payee visible without exposing the rest of the check.
Four details complete the order: your bank routing number, your account number, your starting check number, and your name and address as they should print. All four appear on an existing check drawn on the same account.
Routing and account numbers. Both sit along the bottom edge of any current check, inside the line of magnetic characters.
Starting check number. Continue your existing sequence so your records stay unbroken and your bank does not query duplicates. If you have changed accounts entirely, starting fresh is fine.
Name and address exactly as they should appear on the face of the check.
If you no longer have an old check to work from, your bank can supply the routing and account numbers, and both usually appear in online banking under account details.
We have printed checks since 1997. That is nearly three decades of doing one thing rather than maintaining a broad catalog, and it shows in how the checks are produced. Alignment is finalized by our team before printing rather than left to chance.
Orders are placed online through a secure checkout, which keeps processing quick and accurate. We accept all major credit cards and PayPal. Sales tax applies only to orders within New York State. Customer reviews from verified buyers appear further down this page.
