What a blank check template includes
Every check needs the same items: the payer's name and address, the bank's name, a check number, the date, the payee, the amount in numbers and in words, a memo, a signature and a bank number line along the bottom edge. This tool puts each one in its usual place. See the parts of a check explained for a labeled walk-through.
How to use the sample check maker
- 1. Type the details you want to practice with. The amount in words fills in on its own.
- 2. Choose a look: Blue and Rose, Marble Green, Marble Gold, Marble Blue, Blue Linen or Plain White.
- 3. Press Print sample check. Only the check prints, on one page.
Common check sizes
Personal checks are commonly about 6 by 2.75 inches. Business checks are commonly 8.5 by 3.5 inches, printed three to a page on letter-size sheets. Read blank check template sizes and layout and what 3-to-a-page check paper is.
Printing real checks instead
A real check needs correct bank numbers, accurate alignment and paper your bank will accept. Our guides cover how to print checks online, whether banks accept checks you print yourself and whether you need MICR toner. When you are ready, check printing software does it all for you.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a real check?
No. The tool prints a sample check with a SAMPLE, NOT VALID FOR PAYMENT mark across it and placeholder bank numbers. It is for practice, teaching, filling in forms or testing a layout, not for paying anyone.
Can I print a real check with a template?
A real check needs your actual bank number line in the right place on suitable paper, and your bank has to accept it. Check printing software lays that out and lets you run a Test Print first. See our guide on printing checks at home.
Why does the tool not ask for a routing or account number?
A sample does not need them, and keeping real account numbers out of a free tool is safer. The sample shows placeholder numbers in the bank number line.
What size is the sample check?
The sample prints at 8 by 3.5 inches, the same size as the check Check Writer 123 prints on plain paper, and close to one check on a three-to-a-page sheet. It prints at full size on a letter-size page.
Is anything I type saved?
No. Everything stays in your browser. Nothing is sent to our servers.
Need to print real checks?
Check Writer 123 lays out the check, writes the amount in words, prints the bank number line and keeps a register. Print on blank stock, pre-printed stock or plain paper.
