Our Canadian printer guarantees
Every business cheque clearing at a Canadian financial institution has to meet Payments Canada Standard 006. Print & Cheques Now is a CPA Self-Accredited Printer #1010, certified directly by Payments Canada, so your cheques meet that standard without your bank sourcing them from a third party first.
Works-At-Your-Bank Guarantee
If a cheque fails to clear because of how it was printed, Print & Cheques Now reprints and ships it free. This is the same clearing spec banks require of their own suppliers.
Proof-First Production
Every order is checked against your banking details, transit number, institution number, and MICR line before anything prints. Bank self-serve portals skip this step.
Returns & Reprint Policy
A printing error on Print & Cheques Now’s side gets corrected and reprinted at no cost.
How Print & Cheques Now compares
When you order business cheques through your bank, the bank isn’t printing them. It’s sourcing from a third-party printer, adding a markup, and passing the cost to you. Ordering directly from a CPA Self-Accredited Printer removes that markup and meets the identical Payments Canada standard.

How business cheque ordering actually works in Canada
Every Canadian business cheque clears through the Payments Canada system, governed by CPA Standard 006. The MICR line, made up of the transit, institution, and account numbers, must meet CPA specifications. Cheques don’t have to be ordered through a bank — they clear identically at every major Canadian institution.
Print & Cheques Now Inc. is a CPA Self-Accredited printer (Payments Canada ID #1010), the same accreditation held by the large bank-channel printers. We print to identical MICR spec, use the same high-security stock, and include two anti-fraud features most bank-channel cheques don’t: hologram gold foil and heat-sensitive ink, both standard on every laser and manual business cheque. Every order goes through a proof-first review before printing so any error in your account number, transit, or legal name is caught before anything ships.
The four business cheque types above cover every common need: laser cheques for accounting software runs, manual cheques for handwritten payments, blank laser stock for in-house MICR printing, and personal cheques for individual accounts. If your setup is unusual, multiple accounts, complex voucher layouts, or high-security customizations, call 1-866-760-2661 and a real person will walk you through it.
CPA Compliance: What It Means for Your Business Cheques in Canada
Every business cheque that clears at a Canadian financial institution must meet the technical specifications set out in Payments Canada Standard 006. This standard governs dimensions, MICR placement, ink specifications, paper stock, and security thresholds. Print & Cheques Now holds CPA Self-Accreditation ID #1010.
What Standard 006 specifies
Paper stock (weight, opacity, chemical sensitivity), MICR line tolerances, ink type and placement, dimensions and clear zones, and security-feature thresholds. Cheques that fall short of spec risk fraud exposure or scanner rejection at the bank.
Why this matters when choosing a business cheque printer in Canada
A printer without CPA accreditation means each bank has to test and approve its cheque stock individually before it will accept it. A CPA Self-Accredited Printer has already cleared that bar with Payments Canada, so the cheques work at every Canadian institution from the first order.
Business Cheque Pricing in Canada: What You Should Expect to Pay
Pricing for business cheques in Canada varies by format, quantity, and supplier. Understanding what drives the cost helps you evaluate whether your current supplier is giving you fair value.
What affects the price of business cheques
Laser and manual cheques cost more than blank stock. Higher quantities reduce the per-cheque cost. Security features, including holograms and heat-sensitive ink, are included at the base price. The free-cheque bonus on every order changes the real cost per cheque significantly over time.
| Pricing factor | What to know |
|---|---|
| Format | Laser and manual cheques are priced higher than blank stock. Blank stock is lower because the MICR line is printed in-house by the buyer. |
| Quantity | Per-cheque cost decreases at higher volumes. Consolidating into fewer, larger orders consistently reduces cost per cheque. |
| Security features | Bank-channel suppliers typically charge extra for upgraded security, or exclude it entirely. Print & Cheques Now includes hologram foil and heat-sensitive ink at the base price on every laser and manual order. No upcharge. |
| Free cheques included | Often overlooked. If your supplier gives you 250 cheques and we give you 325 at the same price, your effective per-cheque cost is lower even though the invoice is identical. On two orders per year over five years, a 25% shortfall compounds to 750 missing cheques. |
Approximate pricing for business cheques in Canada
Pricing scales with format and quantity — laser and manual cheques run higher per unit than blank stock, and every order includes the applicable volume bonus (up to 50% more on manual, up to 25% more on laser) at no extra charge.
| Quantity | Approximate price |
|---|---|
| 100 cheques | $176 |
| 250 cheques | $232 |
| 500 cheques | $305 |
| 1,000 cheques | $441 |
| 2,000 cheques | $669 |
Print & Cheques Now includes 25% more laser cheques free on every order at these price points. Manual business cheque orders include 50% more free. Personal cheque orders include 60% more free. Price match guarantee applies to all formats against any legitimate Canadian supplier offering an equivalent CPA-compliant product.

Business cheque FAQs
Quick answers to the questions new customers ask most often. Full details in the policy links where relevant.
Will my cheques clear at my bank?
Every cheque is built to Payments Canada Standard 006 under CPA self-accreditation #1010.
Which business cheque format should I order: laser, manual, or blank?
Laser cheques are best if you run payroll or AP through accounting software (QuickBooks, Sage, Xero, NetSuite, Wave, Quicken, etc.); the software prints the amount, payee, and date directly onto pre-printed cheques. Manual cheques are handwritten with voucher stubs, ideal for field work, one-off payments, or businesses that still write by hand. Blank cheques are premium security stock with no banking details pre-printed; your accounting software or cheque-printing software prints both the MICR line and the rest of the cheque in-house.
What security features are included?
Every laser and manual business cheque includes hologram gold foil, heat-sensitive ink, micro-printing, chemical-reactive paper, and a void pantograph.
What information do I need to place a business cheque order?
Pull the details off a void cheque or direct deposit form: legal business name and billing address, your transit number (5 digits), institution number (3 digits, e.g. 003 for RBC, 004 for TD, 001 for BMO), and account number (7–12 digits depending on the bank). Add your logo if you have one. We proof everything before the cheques print, so errors are caught before anything ships.
How fast can I get my cheques?
Same-day printing is available on orders placed by 2 PM EST, Monday through Friday.
What is your return and reprint policy?
If there is a printing error on our side, MICR misprint, design error against the proof you approved, or a stock defect, we reprint and reship free. For full eligibility, timelines, and how to open a request, read the Return & Reprint Policy. Because cheques are personalized security documents, we cannot accept returns on custom-printed orders that match an approved proof, but we will always work with you on any production-side issue.
How does reordering work?
Express Reorder takes under a minute using your saved layout information.
Are you affiliated with my bank?
No. Print & Cheques Now Inc. is an independent, Canadian family-owned cheque printer, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any bank, credit union, or accounting software vendor listed on this site. We are a CPA Self-Accredited printer that prints compatible cheques for every Canadian financial institution.
Why are your business cheques less expensive than my bank?
Your bank does not manufacture cheques. They source from a third-party printer, apply a margin, and pass the cost to you. Print & Cheques Now manufactures and sells directly, removing the intermediary cost. At the same invoice price, you receive 25% more cheques and stronger security features than a typical bank-channel order.
Do you print cheques for one-write systems or legacy payroll?
Yes. We still print one-write (pegboard) cheques and legacy voucher formats for businesses that use them. If you have an old sample you want us to match, scan it and send it through; our team will confirm layout, MICR placement, and security features before production.
