Checkomatic manual business checks, 6 formats for every business payment situation, all with security features standard and no printer required.
Checkomatic's manual business checks are ideal for organizations that prefer to write their checks instead of printing them. You can order manual business checks in three-on-a-page style or pocket-sized versions.
The three-on-a-page checks come with different stub styles. You can also order our classy 7-ring manual business check binder to safely store and carry your checks. At Checkomatic, we print three kinds of manual checks:
- Accounts Payable Business Checks for vendor payments
- Business Payroll Manual Checks for salaries and wages
- General manual business checks for multi-purpose uses
All 6 Types of Manual Business Checks
1. Accounts Payable Business Checks
Manual 3-on-page accounts payable checks from Checkomatic, with stub detail for vendor invoice and payment reference.
The Accounts Payable manual check is a 3-on-a-page format with a dedicated stub section for vendor payment detail. Each stub carries space for the vendor name, invoice number, purchase order reference, and payment amount. One stub goes to the vendor with the check. The second stub stays in your AP files as your payment record. This format is widely used by small businesses, nonprofits, and construction companies that pay vendors and subcontractors by handwritten check without accounting software. See manual 3-on-page accounts payable business checks.
2. Manual 3-On-A-Page Business Payroll Checks
Manual 3-on-page payroll checks from Checkomatic, earnings stubs with pay period dates, hours, deductions, and net pay for every employee.
The Manual Payroll Check is a 3-on-a-page format with a pre-formatted earnings stub for employee compensation records. The stub documents pay period start and end dates, hours worked at regular and overtime rates, gross pay, itemized deductions, and net pay. Most US states require employers to provide a written earnings statement with each paycheck. This format satisfies that requirement for businesses paying hourly or salaried employees without payroll software. For the complete payroll check guide, see business checks for payroll: the complete employer guide and the full product range at manual 3-on-page business payroll checks.
3. Manual 3-On-A-Page Multi-Purpose Business Checks
Multi-purpose manual 3-on-page checks from Checkomatic, flexible stub layout for businesses with mixed payment types.
The Multi-Purpose manual check is a 3-on-a-page format with a general-use stub layout that works for both AP vendor payments and payroll in the same checkbook. This is the right choice for small businesses and sole proprietors who write a mix of vendor payments and occasional payroll checks from the same account without needing separate checkbooks for each purpose. See manual 3-on-page multi-purpose business checks.
4. Executive Deskbook Manual Checks
Executive deskbook checks from Checkomatic, compact 3-per-page format for portable field payments at job sites, client meetings, or on the go.
The Executive Deskbook is a compact 3-per-page manual check format designed for portability. It fits easily in a briefcase, truck cab, or office bag. Each sheet carries three checks with stubs. The pre-printed company name, address, and banking details mean you only need to fill in the payee, amount, date, and memo by hand. This format is popular with real estate agents, contractors, and field service businesses that write checks at job sites, inspections, or client meetings where a printer is not available. See executive deskbook manual business checks.
5. Manual Business Check Starter Pack
Manual starter pack from Checkomatic, the ideal first order for businesses switching to manual checks or trying the format before a full order.
The Manual Starter Pack is designed for businesses that are new to manual checks or are switching from another check supplier. It provides a starter quantity of manual checks to use and evaluate before committing to a larger order. This is also a practical option for businesses that write checks infrequently and do not need the full quantities available in standard orders. See manual business check starter pack.
6. Manual Business Pocket Checks
Pocket checks from Checkomatic, wallet-sized format for business owners who need to write a check anywhere without carrying a full binder.
You may also find this useful: why business checks remain an everyday essential for owners.
The Manual Pocket Check is the most compact manual check format Checkomatic offers. Wallet-sized and lightweight, it fits in a jacket pocket, purse, or laptop bag. This format suits business owners, sole traders, and managers who occasionally need to write a check away from the office without carrying a full check binder or deskbook. See manual business pocket checks.
Our high-security manual business checks ensure that your financial transactions are always safeguarded from criminals and fraud. We have a short turnaround time to print our checks and we can rush them if you have an urgent requirement.

Security Features on Every Manual Business Check
Security features on every Checkomatic manual business check, all 6 types included at the base price on every order.
Every Checkomatic manual business check includes six ABA-compliant security features as standard, regardless of which of the 6 formats you order:
- Chemical-reactive paper: Stains visibly when washing solvents are applied, preventing alteration before the bank processes the check.
- Microprint signature line: Tiny repeating text that blurs on any photocopy, flagging reproductions.
- Void pantograph: Background pattern that makes VOID appear clearly when the check is photocopied or scanned.
- Heat-sensitive ink: Disappears when pressed with a warm thumb, a standard bank teller authenticity test.
- Coin-reactive ink: Changes appearance when rubbed with a hard metal object.
- True watermark: Visible from both sides under light, absent from counterfeits printed on plain paper.
