Designer Checks Designs And Environmental Friendly Alternatives

By Josh Blackmiller

Most people are aware that varied styles of check designs are available for bank checks. However many are not aware of the huge extensive selection available on the internet for personal check designs. Not only do you get greater selection but a greater price break.

In order to give you an idea of the various categories some popular themes are recycled checks, special interest check categories such as lighthouses, scouting, travel, military, music, aircraft, collectibles, colleges and universities, education just to name a few.

There are even other themes including floral checks, love and friendship design themes, sea and shore checks, inspirational and angels checks, fun and cool checks, solids and patterns designer checks and many more. Anyone should be able to find a category of interest that suits their particular bent.

Environmentally conscious shoppers are often choosing recycled checks for their personalized designs. Also, the choice of soy-based biodegradable alternative products are available. Many check print manufacturers incorporate these consumer and environmentally friendly options into their offerings.

For many of the specialty check printer manufacturers, all check designs are printed with soy-based ink on recycled 24lb. MICR bond paper. As a check travels through the check clearing system, it passes through machines called reader/sorters that sends a magnetic charge to the check which allows it to read the information contained within the MICR line very quickly. The Federal Reserve and all banks require that checks be printed with MICR toner for ease of processing and soy-based ink is often the friendly choice. Now that's a plus for the environment.

Scientific studies demonstrate that soy-based ink degrades faster. It degrades approximately twice as fast as that made from petroleum resins and oils and four times as completely as standard petroleum inks and resins.

The large recycling programs recover and recycle materials that are equal in quality to virgin new fiber. Recyclers contribute the material that perpetuates the process and contributes a resource of equal quality and competitive price.

Ordering direct from the check design manufacturer gets you faster ordering and shipping. Also you'll generally save about 50% compared to what a financial institution would charge. Complimentary address labels, contact cards and checkbook covers are also offered.
