What's a Preprinted Check?

Pre-printed checks are already printed with the payer name/address, bank name/address, fractional routing number, void after period, and bank routing and account number. The check number may or may not be pre-printed (this depends on the check design purchased) and can be printed by DAS, if needed.

Why should the check number be preprinted?

With check fraud on the rise and showing no signs of stopping, using preprinted check stock puts organizations at risk. Because the bank routing and account numbers are already printed, this stock is a high-value target. Using preprinted stock exposes businesses to theft, alteration, and forgery.

Can you write on a preprinted check?

You can write check on pre-printed checks or you can print the check on blank check stock.
