By Bob Askland

Comparative choices for choosing personalized check designs are readily available on the web. Established check printer manufactures have the opportunity to showcase their extensive selection and market inexpensively to the public. Ordering direct gets the purchaser a price break not found at their financial institution.

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.

The go-green movement has caught on in the printing world with many manufacturers offering recycled and 100% soy-based inks as earth friendly alternatives. This is a winning choice for shoppers and the environment.

The choice to use earth friendly soy-based inks and recycled paper has rapidly gained acceptance. These checks are printed on 24lb. MICR bond paper that comply with Federal Reserve requirements.

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 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. - 16928
