When To Print Checks and When To Outsource to Checkeeper

Checkeeper offers users on-demand check printing so that they can design and print custom business checks right from their homes or offices, exactly when they need them. Checkeeper also offers complete check printing and mailing outsourcing options for those times users want their payment checks printed and mailed for them. Account holders who add mailing credits to their Checkeeper accounts can access online check mailing services and can take advantage of the benefits of both unlimited check printing and unlimited check mailing.

Consider which situations call for printing your own checks from your office and which call for checks to be printed and mailed for you.

Printing your own custom business checks is a fast payment solution on these occasions:

Your payment is not urgent

Checkeeper offers four priority delivery methods, including three with tracking options. For routine bill payments that are not urgently due, consider printing your payment check yourself, right from your home or office printer at your own convenience.

You only need one or two checks

Small check orders can be taken care of very quickly right from your office. Access a stored check template, input the payee and amount information, and have your checks in your hands within a minute. All the recording is done for you, so no time is needed for manual check-registry updating.

Your payee is an employee or is present on site

When the person you need to pay works on the premises or is an affiliate or contractor who comes to your business in person, you can print a check the day you need it and hand it to the payee directly with very little time or supplies expended.

Your office is stocked with supplies

If you have printing and mailing supplies, including paper, envelopes, and stamps, you have all you need to print and mail a custom check yourself. Checkeeper requires no specialty equipment, printers, toner, or supplies in order to print viable checks, and users can print their checks on any check stock they prefer, including blank paper when that's what's handy.

You have enclosures you must insert yourself

Checkeeper can print on any check layout users prefer, including checks placed at the top, at the bottom, or in the center of the paper. Checkeeper also enables printing of attachments, pay stubs, benefits explanations, and other documentation that can be printed in their suitable placement. If you have additional marketing material to add or an item specific to a particular payee, or if your check is part of a larger mailing package that you need to assemble in-house, print your needed payment check when needed and add it to your mailing at your own convenience.

Ordering your checks printed and mailed for you is a better option on these occasions:

You need same-business day mailing

For payments that were supposed to go out already, Checkeeper check printing and mailing services offer a faster and more expedient way to get payments out. Check orders placed before 4pm on a business day can typically go out that same day. Select Next-Day Air or Second-Day Air for imminently due payments to get them to their destinations fastest.

You want tracking and don’t have time to go to the post office

Instead of taking time out of your day to travel to and from the post office, have Checkeeper do it for you. Order your check to be printed and then delivered via Priority Mail, Second-Day Air, or Next-Day Air, and obtain a tracking number to follow the chain of custody and assure its timely arrival.

Your office has no printer or is out of printing and mailing supplies

Not all offices have the space or resources to store a lot of office supplies. Professionals who work on the go, from a vehicle, or from multiple travel locations—as well as work-from-home professionals who have very small offices—appreciate the ability to order their checks printed and mailed for them. No printers, paper, envelopes, stamps, or supplies needed—not even a pen.

You need a large batch of checks or paychecks

Checkeeper prints and mails checks all day and can take on high-volume check orders that exceed the resources most offices have available. A call or email can get a prospective user a custom quote and simple instructions for importing payment data so that hundreds or even thousands of checks can go out promptly, and with all the supplies provided.

You are traveling

When you’re out of town or far from your office resources, your payments can still be made on time. Access your account remotely; order your checks printed and mailed for you from anywhere, and avoid late fees and penalties for overdue payments or bills you had otherwise forgotten about.
