6 Things You Gain From Printing Your Own Checks

Checkeeper offers customized check printing and mailing services that improve the bookkeeping efficiency as well as the overall professionalism of a company’s businesses checks. Still ordering blank, ready-to-use checks from a bank or third-party service? Checkeeper can offer features that traditional handwritten checks cannot. Consider some benefits only customized, printed checks can grant your business.

6 things self-printed checks can grant your business:

Better branding

Customizing your business checks helps them stand out and go beyond their basic function as financial tools to also work as marketing tools. Checkeeper enables users to upload a color business logo to place on every check so that the brand is reinforced in the minds of every vendor, supplier, client, employee, and affiliate that receives payment. Upload design features, images, and custom backgrounds, and move or resize check elements to suit your overall desired look. Only online check printing and mailing gives you the array of options, layouts, and designs to make your checks truly unique and memorable, and they can be designed to complement your other marketing materials for overall brand consistency.

Improved efficiency

Checkeeper’s online, cloud-based software is designed to work with other accounting and payroll services if your business uses them. Checkeeper integrates with programs such as QuickBooks Online and FreshBooks so that data input once can be updated across all channels for better expense reporting and tracking. Checkeeper also works with Gusto, Square, and Patriot Payroll to offer paychecks for those employees who receive their compensation via paper check. If you have unpaid invoices in an Odoo or Xero account, you can import the data directly into Checkeeper to have an unpaid bill converted into a check payment automatically. All bills due to the same vendor can be consolidated into a single check with an attached invoice table, saving users time, improving bookkeeping accuracy, and reducing paperwork.

Enhanced professionalism

Handwritten checks cannot convey the elevated professionalism that customized business checks can deliver. Checkeeper’s easy-to-navigate template editor enables fast uploading of color business logos to print on every check, as well as easy uploading of design images, backgrounds, and custom check fields that suit individual bookkeeping needs. For an even greater level of professionalism, have Checkeeper print and mail checks for you. All checks printed at the Checkeeper fulfillment site are printed in the MICR ink that bank computers recognize and mailed in a #10 business envelope for that added layer of professionalism and security.

Enhanced efficiency

Utilizing software services that can work together saves time, improves efficiency, and reduces errors caused by manual data entry. Checkeeper integrates with many widely-used accounting and payroll services, including FreshBooks, QuickBooks Online, Gusto, Square, and more. Traditionally handwritten bank checks cannot offer the automated integration options and real-time syncing of data across multiple platforms that online, cloud-based tools can offer. Checkeeper can also work as an add-on to Xero and Odoo accounts in order to convert unpaid invoices directly into check payments without requiring additional data entry or recording of payment details in multiple places.

Real-time editing and updating options

Pre-printed checks and checkbooks mean that, at some point, you will be left with boxes of ready-to-use checks that are outdated. If you move to a new address, open an additional location, switch banks, add a second checking account, or redesign your logo, your checks no longer reflect accurate, useable information. Online check printing software puts an end to outdated checks and checkbooks by offering real-time editing and updating options so that all information and contact data is up to date. Edit, re-edit, and redesign your checks as often as needed, and print on demand only the ones you need that day.

Remote access

Traditional paper checks and checkbooks are only useful when you have them on you. When you are traveling, working from home, working from a client location, or on the road, you don’t always have a check handy for fast issuing. Checkeeper’s online check mailing means you never have to carry supplies for printing and mailing. Access your account from any device you work and travel with to order a check printed and mailed for you that same business day. Cloud-based and fully mobile, Checkeeper goes where you do and can supply all the items needed to get a customized business check printed and mailed.
