Customize Your Personal Checks

November 20, 2011 By Sherry Tingley

Personal checks can be customized  any way you like. They don’t have to be plain. Check printing companies offer a variety of ways to put your own imprint on those checks, so that you can create checks that meet your particular needs or desires.

The thing to do is compare. The options may vary, including such things as choice of designs, personal message lines, one-time offers of a few personal checks or a free box with the second at a reduced price. Be aware that some check printing businesses offer these options only to first-time customers. Look around and evaluate such things as the number of personal checks and the terms of the transaction, designs and shipping costs.  Then compare the variables to determine which appeals most to you. Some companies may offer free recycled checks or duplicates to entice you into an upgrade. Some require a coupon code, so make sure if you have such a code that it is still valid.

Follow these steps to complete your process:

1. Select a design. Companies will vary in how many designs they offer that you can choose among, ranging anywhere from four to 25.  If the special you choose includes a second box free, you’ll be set for a long time.

2. Select lettering styles. Some companies may throw in a monogram or symbol next to your name and address or add a personal message line gratis.

3. Be certain of the status of a register to keep a record of checks. If the deal you opt for does not include a register, you may want to add one to your shopping cart.
If you love the design you chose, consider coordinating with other items such as address books or labels to extend the effect.

4. When your check order arrives, be certain to look at the invoice to ensure that the fees and terms are what you agreed to. If you are certain everything is as it should be, submit your payment.

5. Print a copy of the invoice so you have a record of all the shipping terms, estimated shipping dates and customer service number just in case a question should arise after the fact. A printed copy is easier to access if it is required than having to look up the details online if references are needed later.

Personalizing your checks can be fun and rewarding. There is such a wide range of designs and photos that appeal to almost any age, women, men and young buyers.
