How to Make Your Own Custom Checks
- 1). Choose a company from which you'd like to purchase your checks. Many check printing companies are online, such as Walmart Checks, Vistaprint, and Checks Unlimited. Or you can get a recommendation from your bank. You can also find custom check offers in the coupon inserts of Sunday's newspaper. Compare several companies, and pick one that offers desired images at a great deal.
- 2). Choose your image. Browse through the company's library of available images. Typically, you will find various checks with any number of background images, from seasons to animals to places.
- 3). Select your desired font styles and designs, if you can. You may be offered a variety of fonts from which to choose. Some companies will allow you to include a monogram of your initials on your check.
- 4). Type in your name and address. This information will be printed on your checks, so double-check it to be sure it is correct.
- 5). Provide your bank's routing number and your checking account number. You can find this information located in the bottom left corner of an old check. If you don't have a copy of your check, ask your bank to get this information for you.
- 6). Pay for the checks you ordered. If you are placing your order online, you can make your payment with a credit card or from your bank account. If you are ordering by mail, make your payment by money order or check.
