Affiliate disclosure: some links in this article are affiliate links and I may earn a commission at no cost to you. Both companies here run affiliate programs I am in, which is exactly why I am going to tell you plainly which one I would use. Every figure below was read on each vendor’s own live pages on 15 September 2026.
These two companies sell the same thing and present it in opposite ways, and that difference tells you more than any price comparison will. Tech Checks publishes an MSRP, a selling price, a lead time and a full shipping rate table with weights per quantity. Bank Checks Plus publishes a price inside each product page and nothing else, with no shipping cost anywhere in its sitemap.
That is not a small stylistic difference when you are running a high-ticket store. If you sell $1,000 to $5,000 products, the reason you are ordering business checks is usually specific and time-bound: a supplier will not take a card at four figures, or a dealer application wants a voided pre-printed check showing your company name. You need to know what it costs and when it arrives, and one of these two companies lets you work that out in advance.
I priced both catalogues at every published quantity and both security lines. The short version is that Tech Checks is cheaper at every quantity above fifty checks, publishes more security features for less money, and tells you the shipping. Bank Checks Plus wins on exactly two things, and one of them might matter enough to decide it for you. Here is the whole comparison with the arithmetic shown.
The Two Companies in One Paragraph Each
Bank Checks Plus sells at bankchecksplus.com. Its catalogue is enormous, with 10,602 product URLs across 240 categories in its sitemap, and the overwhelming majority of that is personal check designs. Its title tag advertises “Save Up To 70% Off Bank Prices – 3200+ Designs”. For a business the useful part narrows to top, middle and bottom laser checks, a hologram line, manual accounts payable and payroll checks, and three per page formats.
Tech Checks sells at techchecks.net. Its sitemap holds 365 URLs, which is a twenty-ninth the size, and the catalogue is business first: computer checks, manual checks, blank stock, deposit slips, envelopes, stamps, binders, W-2 and 1099 tax forms, and starter packages. Every check product page I opened carried the line “Free logo printed on checks!”
Both are real check printers selling real products you can buy today, and neither is a reseller front. I have written a full breakdown of each if you want every row rather than the head to head. Start with the Bank Checks Plus pricing article for the complete ladder on that side.
The companion piece is the Tech Checks pricing article, which covers its three security tiers, its starter packages and its shipping table in detail.
Need checks in your hands this week, not next week
Bank Checks Plus states that standard laser orders received by noon ship the same day by FedEx, and that it does not charge for same day shipping. Fifty checks start at $19.20.
Head to Head on Price, at Quantities That Actually Match
Comparing check prices is harder than it looks because the two companies use different quantity steps. Bank Checks Plus sells in 50, 100, 250, 500, 1,000, 2,500, 5,000 and 10,000. Tech Checks sells in 50, 100, 300, 600, 1,200, 2,500 and 5,000.
Four quantities line up exactly, so start there. These are standard, non-hologram laser checks from both, read from the top of page product on each site.
| Quantity | Bank Checks Plus | Tech Checks | Difference | Cheaper |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50 checks | $19.20 | $21.95 | $2.75 | Bank Checks Plus |
| 100 checks | $39.54 | $34.95 | $4.59 | Tech Checks |
| 2,500 checks | $282.49 | $239.95 | $42.54 | Tech Checks |
| 5,000 checks | $508.49 | $426.95 | $81.54 | Tech Checks |
Bank Checks Plus wins the smallest order by $2.75 and loses everything above it. At 5,000 checks the gap is $81.54, which is 16 percent of the Bank Checks Plus price.
Now the quantities that do not line up, compared on cost per check so the comparison is fair. This is where the picture gets clearer rather than murkier.
| Bank Checks Plus quantity | Per check | Tech Checks quantity | Per check | Cheaper per check |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 250 at $56.49 | 22.60 cents | 300 at $61.95 | 20.65 cents | Tech Checks |
| 500 at $90.39 | 18.08 cents | 600 at $88.95 | 14.82 cents | Tech Checks |
| 1,000 at $169.49 | 16.95 cents | 1,200 at $135.95 | 11.33 cents | Tech Checks |
Look at the 500 against 600 row, because it is the single most useful line in this article. Tech Checks gives you 100 more checks for $1.44 less money. That is not a rounding difference, it is a better deal in both directions at once.
There is also an oddity worth knowing about on the Bank Checks Plus ladder. Fifty checks are $19.20, which is 38.40 cents each, and one hundred checks are $39.54, which is 39.54 cents each. Buying twice as many makes each check more expensive. Tech Checks has no inversion anywhere in its ladder.
The Security Tier Comparison, Which Is the Real Decision
If a single check you write is worth $3,000, the security paper is not a nicety. It is a line item, and it is the one place I would happily spend more. So this section matters more than the standard price table above.
Bank Checks Plus runs one elevated line, its hologram laser checks. Tech Checks runs two, SecuDocs and Holographic, selectable from a “Fraud Prevention Features” control on the standard product page. Here is what each costs at the nearest comparable quantity.
| Product | 500 checks | Per check | Published security features | Lead time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bank Checks Plus hologram | $186.44 | 37.29 cents | 10 on the product page | not stated on the page |
| Tech Checks SecuDocs | $179.95 | 35.99 cents | 16 on the security page | 3 to 5 business days |
| Tech Checks Holographic | $199.95 | 39.99 cents | listed on the product page | 7 to 10 business days |
Tech Checks SecuDocs is $6.49 cheaper than the Bank Checks Plus hologram line at 500 checks and publishes six more named security features. It also states a lead time on its own page, which Bank Checks Plus does not do on its hologram product.
I should be careful about that feature count, because feature lists are marketing copy and counting them is not the same as measuring protection. I counted sixteen named items on the Tech Checks SecuDocs security features page and ten on the Bank Checks Plus hologram product page, both against the live pages before writing those numbers. Tech Checks itself publishes three different counts across three pages: sixteen on the security features page, eleven on the SecuDocs product page, and “13+ Layered Security Elements” on its high security landing page.
Which features actually matter at $3,000 a check
Three features do real work against the attack you are genuinely exposed to, which is check washing. Someone intercepts your mailed supplier check, dissolves the payee and the amount with solvent, and rewrites it.
Chemical protection paper stains visibly when that is attempted. Toner adhesion stops the printed text being scraped or lifted off. A true watermark cannot be reproduced by a copier or scanner. Those three are the tier worth paying for.
Both companies include all three. The Bank Checks Plus hologram page names chemical protection paper, toner adhesion and a Fourdrinier watermark. The Tech Checks SecuDocs page names chemical reaction sensitivity, Printloc toner adhesion treatment and secure document watermarks.
What is upsell is the foil. Holographic seals and coin reactive logos are verification features that only work if a human being at the receiving end inspects the check and knows the tell. Your supplier’s accounts payable clerk will not rub your check with a coin. Tech Checks charges $20.00 more at 500 checks for its holographic tier over SecuDocs and adds four to five business days of lead time, and I would not pay it.
So my read on the security question: buy Tech Checks SecuDocs at $179.95 for 500. It is cheaper than the Bank Checks Plus hologram line, it publishes a stated lead time, and it carries the three features that matter. That conclusion does not change based on which link earns me more, because they are both mine.
Not convinced the cheaper site is the better one?
Then check the part nobody else publishes. Tech Checks lists a weight for every quantity and a ground rate for every weight, so 300 checks at $61.95 plus $12.95 shipping is a delivered $74.90 you can verify yourself before ordering.
Shipping, Where the Comparison Stops Being Close
Tech Checks publishes a shipping policy page with an estimated weight for every check quantity and a price for every weight bracket, on both ground and two day air. Fifty checks weigh 1 lb, 300 weigh 4 lb, 600 weigh 7 lb, 2,500 weigh 32 lb. Ground runs $10.95 at 1 lb, $12.95 at 4 lb, $13.95 at 7 lb and $29.84 at 32 lb.
Bank Checks Plus publishes no shipping price anywhere. I want to be precise about that claim rather than waving at it, because a negative finding is the most dangerous thing to publish. I opened all seven static pages in its sitemap, which are the home page, the security page, the privacy page, the billing terms page, the FAQ, the about us page and the refund and return policy. I then opened ten category pages and seven product pages, and none of them carries a shipping cost.
What its product pages carry instead is a delivery options table with speeds and no prices: local pick up, next day air at one to two business days, second day air at two to three, ground at two to five, trackable at three to seven, and USPS first class priority at seven to ten. You learn the price at checkout.
So a like for like delivered comparison is only possible on one side. Three hundred Tech Checks standard checks are $61.95 plus $12.95 ground, a delivered $74.90. The equivalent Bank Checks Plus order of 250 checks is $56.49 plus an unknown, and I am not going to guess at the unknown.
Two Tech Checks surcharges are worth knowing before you call it a win. Its shipping page states, verbatim, “Please Note: Shipments to Alaska will have an additional $25 charge applied. Puerto Rico and Hawaii will have an additional $75.”
The one place Bank Checks Plus clearly beats Tech Checks
Speed, and it is not close. The Bank Checks Plus about us page states, verbatim, “All standard laser check orders received by noon will ship that same day by FedEx. We do not charge for same day shipping.”
Tech Checks quotes three to five business days of production on its standard checks before transit even begins. Its rush option is $39.95, and its rush page states, verbatim, “The First 50 checks of your order will ship overnight with FedEx Express or UPS and the remaining portion will be delivered via ground shipping.” So $39.95 buys you fifty checks tomorrow, not your whole order tomorrow.
If a supplier is holding a dealer approval and you need a voided pre-printed check in hand this week, Bank Checks Plus same day processing at no extra charge is genuinely the better product. That is a real scenario in high-ticket, and it is the reason this comparison is not a shutout. One honest caveat on reading that sentence: the page says it does not charge for same day shipping, and since it publishes no shipping prices at all I cannot tell you from outside whether a carrier charge still appears at checkout.
Coupons, and Which Discounts Are Real
Tech Checks runs a coupons and promotions page and keeps live offers on it. It publishes a code, stating verbatim, “Spend over $100 and receive $5 off our already low prices by using coupon code TECHBP5”. It also publishes a starter kit offer at $69.95 against a regular price it gives as $119.95, and a no-code offer reading “Save over 60% on your order of Quickbooks® compatible checks when ordering from Tech Checks – 50 Checks only $19.95 (no code required)”.
That last one conflicts with its own product page, which prices 50 checks at $21.95. Two numbers for fifty checks on one website. It is worth flagging because it undercuts the transparency argument I have just spent three sections making, and because it means you should price your exact configuration in the cart rather than trusting any page, mine included.
Tech Checks also publishes a useful warning on that page, stating verbatim, “The only coupons authorized by Tech Checks are those coming from our newsletters, posted on our Twitter feed, or found on our Facebook page.” Every other Tech Checks coupon on the internet is, by the company’s own account, not real.
Bank Checks Plus had no sitewide discount code live when I read it. Its home page carries a repeated offer reading “Click To Save 10% Now On This & ALL Future Orders”, with no code shown on the page, which reads as a mailing list signup rather than a coupon you can apply today.
Fees and Policies That Only Show Up Later
Both sites bury things you should know before ordering, and the Bank Checks Plus ones are harsher.
Its FAQ states that an unprinted order can be cancelled with a $5.00 service charge per line item, and states verbatim, “There is a flat fee per box of checks of $ 4.50 plus the cost of the shipment method of your choice to re-ship your product out.” Its refund policy states a 50 percent restocking fee applies to custom printed products if the company chooses to refund one at all, and 25 percent on non-custom products returned within 21 days.
Checks are custom printed by definition. A typo in your routing number or your company name is potentially a half price loss on top of a reprint, so proofread the order screen twice whichever vendor you use.
Bank Checks Plus also offers EZShield Check Fraud Protection on every business check page, described as covering unauthorised use of up to $25,000. Its price is tied to the quantity you select rather than being one figure: $8.75 at 50 checks, $20.00 at 500 and $300.00 at 10,000. It is opt-in rather than pre-ticked, which I appreciate. Before you tick it, ask your bank whether your account already includes positive pay, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau guidance on bank accounts is a reasonable place to start on what accounts typically include.
The Bundle Nobody Else Offers
One Tech Checks product has no equivalent on the Bank Checks Plus side and it is the best opening order for a new store. The Small Starter Package publishes an MSRP of $119.99 and a price of $69.95, shipping in four to six business days, containing 250 checks, 100 envelopes, 100 deposit slips, one endorsement stamp and your logo on the checks at no charge.
Buy the check quantity alone at the Tech Checks 300 row and you are already at $61.95 before envelopes, deposit slips or a stamp. The bundle costs $8.00 more than the checks by themselves and covers everything else you need to actually mail a payment.
There is also a Deluxe Starter Package at an MSRP of $199.99 and a price of $128.99, shipping in five to seven business days, with 750 checks, 300 envelopes, 300 deposit slips and an endorsement stamp. For most single operator stores that is more stationery than you will use in five years. To be clear, that is a Tech Checks product name and has nothing to do with the company called Deluxe.
On that company: Deluxe is the biggest name in business checks and the obvious third option in a comparison like this, and I have deliberately left it out. Its storefront returned an HTTP 400 error on every request I made today, so there is no Deluxe price I can honestly put next to these two. My Deluxe Business Products review covers the company with that same caveat about its shop being unreachable.
Why Any of This Matters for a High-Ticket Store
Checks are a fallback rail, not your main one, and that should cap how much you spend here. Nacha’s ACH network volume and value statistics state, verbatim, “Overall, ACH Network payment volume rose nearly 4.9% from 2024 to 35.2 billion payments in 2025, climbing to an average 141 million daily transactions.”
You order business checks for three situations specific to this business. A supplier who will not take a card at four figures because interchange destroys their margin. A dealer application that wants a voided pre-printed check with your company name on it, which a blank counter check from your bank cannot satisfy. And the occasional payment that falls outside what your processor will handle.
Because most stores write tens of checks a year rather than thousands, the 250 to 600 range is where almost everyone should buy, and the bulk rows are a trap. A 5,000 pack at either vendor is a multi-decade supply that becomes scrap the moment your address, bank or business name changes.
One timing note that changes how you plan. The Federal Reserve’s Check 21 frequently asked questions state, verbatim, “A substitute check is the legal equivalent of the original check and includes all the information contained on the original check.” Checks clear as images now, so do not budget around float that no longer exists.
The mail is the exposure that justifies the security tier at all, and the United States Postal Inspection Service mail fraud guidance is the right primary source. This article is general information and not legal, tax or banking advice, and check liability rules vary by state and by your own account agreement.
The Verdict: Which One Fits Your Store
For most high-ticket dropshipping stores, Tech Checks is the better choice, and it is not close once you get above the smallest order. It is cheaper at 100, 2,500 and 5,000 checks on identical quantities, cheaper per check at every mismatched quantity I compared, and it gives you 100 more checks for $1.44 less at the 500 against 600 comparison.
It also wins the security comparison on price. SecuDocs at 500 checks is $179.95 against $186.44 for the Bank Checks Plus hologram line, with more published features and a stated lead time. And it publishes a shipping table, which means you can compute a delivered cost before you commit rather than discovering it at checkout.
Choose Bank Checks Plus in two situations. The first is when you need checks fast, because its stated same day FedEx processing on standard laser orders received before noon beats a three to five day production window and a $39.95 rush fee that only expedites the first fifty checks. The second is when you genuinely only want fifty checks, where its $19.20 beats $21.95.
Neither is a bad company and I would not talk anyone out of either. What actually separates them is philosophy. One publishes its MSRP, its sale price, its lead time, its shipping rates and its live coupon codes. The other publishes a price and makes you reach checkout to learn the rest. For a business owner trying to budget, that transparency is worth more than the few dollars either way.
Whichever you pick, buy in the 250 to 600 range, buy the security tier if your checks run into four figures, and read the total at checkout rather than the product page. Both of my full breakdowns have every row if you want to check my arithmetic, and the figures here are what those sites published on 15 September 2026. Check printers reprice without announcing it.
If you are earlier in the process than this, checks are the wrong thing to be thinking about. Start with what high-ticket dropshipping actually is and get the model straight in your head first. Then pick a category from the high-ticket niches list before you spend a dollar on stationery.
After that comes the work that decides everything, which is finding suppliers for high-ticket products. The entity paperwork that a business bank account depends on is covered in business formation for high-ticket dropshipping.
Everything else I publish lives at Ecommerce Paradise.
Checks are the easy decision. Supplier approval is the hard one.
You just spent ten minutes choosing between a $179.95 order and a $186.44 one. The decision that actually determines whether your store works is which brands approve you as a dealer, and that is what I work on with people directly.
