The Art of Check Design and Sending Checks Like A Pro

This blog explores the importance of check design and the three best ways to send checks using Zil Money.

Checks are still used by businesses to make payments, particularly for one-time expenses, payroll, and vendors. Check payments, however, are no longer a laborious, slow procedure. With platforms like Zil Money, businesses can now design and make check payments in multiple ways—mailing, printing, or eChecks—all without the hassle of manual processing.

The Power of a Well-Designed Check

Paying close attention to details is important when designing checks. A check represents your brand in the same way that a business card does. A badly designed check can come across as unprofessional, but a well-designed check builds confidence with suppliers and staff.

With Zil Money, you can easily customize your checks by: 

• Using a drag-and-drop design tool to simplify customization.

• Adding your company logo for branding.

• Choosing fonts, colors, and styles to enhance visibility.

• Incorporating watermarks and digital signatures for added security.

1. Mailing Checks Online (Most Convenient)
2. Printing Checks (For Instant In-Hand Payments)
3. eChecks (For Digital Transactions)

1. Mailing Checks Online

Imagine you need to send a payment, but you don’t have time to go to the post office, buy an envelope or print a check. This is where you can benefit from Zil Money’s check mailing.

With check mailing, Zil Money handles it all for you: 

• Prints the check on check paper of high quality. 
• Envelopes it securely.
• Properly labels the package with the right recipient information.
• And send it via either USPS or FedEx (to make sure it arrives on time).

You can choose from:

• First-Class Mail (Affordable, arrives in 1–5 business days). 
• Priority Mail (Balanced speed and cost, arrives in 1–3 days).

2. Printing Checks – For Instant In-Hand Payments

If you prefer physical checks, Zil Money also allows instant check printing from your office or home.

To print checks, you only need:

• A regular printer (no need for special ink).

The process is simple:
