DesignerChecks.com FAQs

Welcome back! Reordering is easy with Designer Checks. Here’s how: There are three easy ways to place a reorder with Designer Checks.

1. Order online. For detailed instructions on how to place your order online, please visit our "How To Order" page.
2. Call us at 1-800-859-7086 and a dedicated customer care representative will take your order. We’d love to hear from you.
3. Mail in a completed Order Form from our catalog or your last pad of checks, and mail it to the address printed on the piece.

The routing number you enter will provide us with all the necessary information for your financial institution to print your checks, including your branch.

As long as you have your bank information (routing and account numbers), you are still able to place your order online, provided the information you give matches what your bank has on file (name, address and account numbers). Or, you can also call us at 1-800-859-7086 and a dedicated Customer Care Representative will assist you.

Designer Checks can process your order with temporary checks, provided:

1. Documents are actually printed with your bank routing number and account number (two sets of numbers).
2. Documents are originals (no photocopies).
3. You pay with a check from that account.

Call our Customer Care Department at 1-800-859-7086 before submitting your order. Our representatives can check to see if we have the changes in our systems. If we do not see any changes, we may require you to obtain and send different documentation with your order.

If this is the first order you have placed with Designer Checks, for security purposes, we ask for a voided check and payment check from your account. Temporary checks or credit cards will be accepted.

If you receive two confirmation E-mails, this means we received two orders from you. We make every attempt to catch double orders, so if this has happened to you, please call one of our helpful Customer Care Representatives at 1-800-859-7086 so we can make it right.

If you experience this problem, please abbreviate words such as North, South, Street, Avenue, Road, Place, Drive, and etc.

The protection of your personal information is our highest priority, so for that reason, Designer Checks recommends that you do not include your driver’s license number or birthdate on your checks or deposit slips. If you do decide to include this information, when placing a check order online, your driver's license number (or other desired information) may be added in the third line of the "Name and Address" section of the Personal Information page. We do not print Social Security Numbers.

YES! Simply indicate the changes online during the ordering process. As with every check order, Designer Checks will contact your financial institution to verify all account information. To avoid any delays in your order, please be sure that the name change is indicated on your bank account. *Please note, additional verifications may cause a delay in your order.

A Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) Specification Sheet is a document used to correctly encode checks and deposit slips. It provides documentation of the proper numbers and spacing so that your checks will scan correctly at your financial institution.

If your bank's information is too long to fit, we will automatically print the standard information approved and provided by your financial institution. The information you enter will be for verification purposes only.

During the checkout process you can choose the "Change my shipping address" option and have your checks shipped to a different address. Please note, any change to shipping address will require your order to go through our verification process to ensure the safety of your checks.

The offer code is located in the order form. If you cannot find it, please call us at 1-800-859-7086 and a dedicated customer care representative will assist you.

We are frequently updating and adding new check designs based on popularity and customer requests. Visit the Designer Checks site often to see what new designs we have available! If you have a check design to recommend, please share it with us at Info@DesignerChecks.com.

One-part Personal Top-Tear checks: 80 per box
Duplicate Personal Top-Tear checks: 80 per box
One-part Personal Side-Tear checks: 80 per box

Images in print advertisements are enhanced to show detail. The colors on the actual checks are muted in order to be compliant with industry specifications and to allow for accurate processing by financial institutions.

Duplicate Checks include carbonless check paper that imprints the check you are writing onto a second piece of paper that you keep for your records. Therefore, every check produces an automatic copy, which means you no longer need to record every check when you write it. All of our check designs are available in one-part or duplicate checks.

Below, we’ve outlined what verses are printed on specific check designs:

Side-Tear Checks provide you the ease of tearing from the left hand side of the check pad rather than across the top.

A Side-Tear Converter is a vinyl insert that will convert your Top-Tear checkbook cover into a Side-Tear checkbook cover in two easy steps.

We have simplified our packaging for your convenience and hope you find changing check pads less frequently more convenient. The number of checks is still the same at 80 checks per box. Duplicate Checks will remain at 4 pads per box.

In order to provide superior protection for your checks, we have updated our packaging. This unique check holder is convenient, consumes less paper and is 100% recyclable. We hope this helps you protect your checks while using it at home or on the go.
