Pricing

Businesses can expect to save anywhere from 20% to 70% off bank prices when buying checks from catalogs or local distributors. You can expect to pay $70 to $100 for 1,000 checks. Companies buying 5,000 checks at a time will pay about $250 for impact checks, and $300 for laser checks.

Impact checks are designed to work with most daisywheel and dot matrix printers. Each check usually consists of multiple parts and comes attached for continuous printing.

Laser checks are designed for use with a laser printer. They are typically arranged with one or three checks per sheet. The three-on-a-page design costs less per check, but can be difficult to use if you usually print just a few checks at a time.
