Online check printing offers up-to-the-minute customization in order to create the most professional quality business checks. Online check printing and mailing with Checkeeper puts an end to outdated checks, unusable checkbooks, and unnecessary paper waste—as well as the expense incurred for reordering new checks every time some information changes.

In the market for online check printing and mailing? Consider five things online check printing templates allow you to edit or change on demand so that you never have to waste another paper check again.

1. Business contact information

Not all new businesses or business owners stay in one place forever, especially in today’s environment of side businesses and small start-ups that sometimes operate from places other than traditional office spaces. If your business is mobile, transitioning into a new space, or sometimes conducted from multiple locations, you will appreciate the on-demand check editing and updating offered by Checkeeper. Keep your home and business separate by controlling which contact address appears on your checks; when you change space, have to work in a new location temporarily, or open multiple stores or locations for your growing business, update and change the contact information as often as needed—no more outdated checks with the wrong business address and contact information.

2. Bank account and routing numbers

Every time you change banks or open a new checking account, you need to order all new checks—unless you use Checkeeper. Account and routing numbers appear on your checks exactly as you input them, and they can be changed or updated any time. All account and routing numbers at the bottom of the check are automatically formatted in the MICR-encoded font that bank computers recognize, and you can change or adjust them on checks to correctly designate the account from which you want your funds drawn. Checkeeper does not touch users' money or relocate funds into a separate account; all account and routing numbers appear on checks as they are input by the account owner.

When you want to update your logo, add special design images to your checks, or use different logos for different businesses, Checkeeper makes it easy. Images can be uploaded directly into your account and placed on as many—or as few—checks as preferred. If you change your image, add color to it, or need to resize it, you can upload an updated logo to replace what you have and create newly-customized checks in only a matter of minutes. Pre-printed business checks you’ve ordered cannot have logos and designs changed; they have to be discarded and replaced (or sent out with the wrong logo). Checkeeper enables up-to-the-minute logo and image editing features so that your checks always look unique, professional, and aligned with your brand.

4. Check layout

Checkeeper enables users to design and save as many check layouts as needed for their business and personal needs. Resize check elements, adjust the font, and change the appearance to suit your preferences. Print each check to be signed by hand, or store an uploaded signature to add to your printed check.

5. Custom check fields

Pre-printed checks come with their own standard check fields that are fixed and unchangeable. Most checks include a line for the “memo,” which may be more generic than useful for certain bookkeeping needs. Checkeeper enables users to add custom check fields that help streamline the bookkeeping and reduce accounting paperwork; add a line for customer ID, invoice number, or other item that is pertinent to your company’s records. Only need it for certain checks? Deactivate it when it is no longer needed. Checkeeper will store custom check fields in its memory so that you can still use them as a search term for previous checks, even if recent checks no longer contain those check fields.

Online check printing keeps business checks up to date

Checkeeper offers users not only on-demand check printing, but on-demand check updating. When your business moves locations, opens a new office, changes banks, or updates its logo, it is reassuring to know that you don’t have to keep ordering batches of new business checks. Your checks can stay updated and accurate for all the changes your company may experience. Log into your Checkeeper account from anywhere, at any time, and make the needed updates to your checks.
