Blank check stock on bottom is unprinted check paper formatted with the check positioned at the foot of an 8.5 by 11 inch sheet and two perforated stubs sitting above it. Unlike pre-printed checks that arrive with your banking details already on the paper, blank check stock carries no pre-printed account or routing information. Your accounting software prints the entire check, including the MICR line at the bottom, at the time of each payment run. Checkomatic has manufactured blank check paper from Monroe, NY since 1997, with bulk quantity discounts and both regular and high-security options available.
What Is Blank Check Stock and How Does the Check on Bottom Format Work?
Blank check stock is laser check paper designed for businesses that print the MICR line themselves using MICR toner and accounting software. The MICR line carries your routing number, account number, and check number in magnetic ink character format. Banks read this line to process payments. On blank stock, your software generates this line at print time rather than having it pre-printed by the check manufacturer.
The check-on-bottom layout places the payment check at the foot of the sheet. The two stubs above it carry payroll deduction detail, account codes, or AP record information depending on your workflow. This layout is common in payroll operations where employees open the envelope and see their earnings breakdown before the check itself. It is also used in businesses where the stub-above-check format matches a specific accounting software template.
For the check-on-top format with two stubs below the check, see our blank laser checks on top. For a three-per-page format with no stubs, see our blank laser checks 3-on-a-page. For the check-in-middle layout, see our blank check paper in middle.
Who Uses Blank Check Stock Instead of Pre-Printed Checks?
Blank check stock suits a specific set of business situations that pre-printed checks do not cover cleanly.
Payroll companies managing checks for multiple client accounts use blank stock because one paper type covers every client. Pre-printed checks are tied to a single bank account. Blank stock is not. You print the MICR line for each account at run time, which means the same paper works across all your clients.
Multi-entity businesses with separate checking accounts for different divisions, properties, or subsidiaries face the same situation. Blank stock removes the need to order and store separate pre-printed check batches for each account.
Businesses that change banks or account details frequently also prefer blank stock. When banking details change on pre-printed checks, unused inventory becomes waste. On blank stock, you update the account data in your software and the next print run reflects the new details automatically.
For businesses that prefer pre-printed checks where your banking details arrive on the paper, see our full range of computer business checks.
Paper Options, Colors, and Security Tiers
Our blank check stock on bottom is available in three background designs: Marble, Diamond, and Prismatic. Each design family offers multiple color options across blue, green, burgundy, gold, and mixed palettes. The background pattern is cosmetic. It does not affect MICR reading, bank acceptance, or security feature performance.
Two security tiers are available at checkout. Regular security includes the standard set of fraud protection features. High security adds additional DocuGuard protection layers for businesses processing high-value checks or operating in fraud-prone industries. See the full blank check stock catalog for all format and security options.
Key paper specifications: standard 8.5 x 11 inch sheet, compatible with laser and inkjet printers, MICR toner required for the MICR line, compatible with QuickBooks, Quicken, Sage, and all major accounting software platforms. Magnetic ink is required for bank processing. Confirm with your bank whether they read MICR optically or magnetically before selecting your toner type.
