Blank check stock on bottom positions the check at the base of a standard 8.5" x 11" sheet with two perforated stubs running above it. Your check printing software outputs the payee, amount, date, and MICR line into the correct fields at print time. The banking details already on the paper, your company name, routing number, and account number, ship pre-printed before the stock arrives. No MICR toner required for the variable fields. Standard laser or inkjet toner handles the software output. The MICR line at the bottom is already on the paper in magnetic ink.
What Is Blank Check Stock on Bottom and Which Software Uses This Format?
Blank check stock on bottom is the format where the check area occupies the lower third of the sheet and two detachable stubs sit above it. The format isn't interchangeable with check-on-top or check-in-middle. Each position corresponds to a different accounting software default print layout, and loading the wrong format causes misalignment on every print run.
Bottom-position blank check stock is required for DacEasy, agFinance, agPayroll, Countryside Data, and Sage MAS 90. These platforms output check data to the lower section of the page by default. If you've recently switched to one of these platforms from a top-format setup and your checks are printing out of alignment, this is the format you need.
If your software isn't listed and you're not certain which format it uses, contact Checkomatic before ordering. The team can confirm your format at no extra charge, and custom formatting is available for non-standard configurations. For other blank check positions, browse blank checks on top, blank checks in the middle, or the full blank checks category to compare all available formats.
Why Businesses Choose Blank Check Stock Over Pre-Printed Checks
Pre-printed checks carry your bank details directly on the paper. That works for single-account businesses ordering checks in a fixed format. Blank check stock works differently. Your MICR line gets printed at the time of each payment run by your check printing software, which means the same stack of paper can cover every bank account your business operates.
For CPAs, bookkeepers, and property management companies printing checks across multiple client accounts, blank check stock removes the need to maintain separate pre-printed stock for each account. One format, one stack, unlimited account coverage. When banking details change, you update the software. You don't order new paper.
Businesses handling high-volume accounts payable or payroll runs also benefit from the per-sheet economics. Bottom-format blank check stock at higher quantities costs significantly less per check than pre-printed alternatives, with bulk pricing tiers available at checkout.
Where Can You Get Blank Check Paper and What Specs Does It Carry?
Checkomatic ships blank check stock on bottom directly from Monroe, NY. Every sheet is printed on 28lb MOCR bond paper at the standard 8.5" x 11" size. The stock is compatible with laser printers and requires MICR toner for the routing and account number line when you print that data in-house. The paper carries chemically sensitive anti-fraud protection, a void pantograph, thermochromic ink, and a visible watermark across every sheet. It meets Check-21 requirements and US ABA specifications, which means every check printed on this stock is accepted at all US banks and financial institutions. High-security upgrade stock is also available for accounts requiring additional anti-tamper layers.
