A4 (Laser) Cheques

A4 (Laser) Cheques are designed to be infilled on Laser or Inkjet Printers using 3rd party accounting software.
For enhanced protection from fraudulent tampering, we recommend the use of Pigment Ink based inkjet printers.

The Product:

Cheques are supplied in the format of an A4 sheet and usually contain a remittance portion above the cheque as shown. Other formats where 2 or 3 cheques are on an A4 sheet are available on request.
If you are considering changing to a laser based printing system, our staff will be happy to offer advice and assistance as to the type of printer required, and how best to ensure the infilling is secure.

Background Panel Design and Colour:

Each cheque will be printed with the company details on one of the following security panels:

Alternatively, a security panel unique to the company can be developed at additional cost.

Logo:

This cheque allows for the inclusion of a company logo, printed in corporate colour(s). The logo can also be reproduced in one colour only if preferred.

Crossing:

It is a mandatory requirement to include a crossing on all cheques (reading “account payee only”).

Bank Approval Process:

In the case of a new cheque, it is a mandatory requirement for cheque orders to be verified and authorised by the account holders bank.

The Cheque Layout:

As new A4 (Laser) cheques must be laid out in accordance with the format of the software, please supply a printout of the cheque on plain computer paper. This enables RW Pierce to design the print to match the computer printout. The software/cheque may need to be altered to meet the Banking Industry standards. Where possible, to assist in fraud prevention, the use of a series of boxes for completion in words of the ‘Amount in Words’ is to be discouraged. The preferred option is that the computer prints out the amount in words in one line, if possible, with no spacing between each word.
