The blue check designs
Checks Unlimited calls the Blue Classic checks standard bank checks with an understated opalite blue background and one of its most popular designs. The photo above shows it: a soft blue texture with a thin darker blue line along the bottom edge. Every check in the box looks the same, and the product code is 628.
- Blue Classic, top tear: the standard layout, stub-free, torn off along the top edge.
- Side Tear Blue Classic: the same blue background with a perforation on the left side, for side-tear checkbook covers (product code 524).
- High Security Blue: a blue top-tear check that adds a hologram security square that cannot be reproduced, heat-reactive ink and a fraud warning (product code 748).
All three work with any U.S. checking account: your bank details print in the MICR line along the bottom. For gray marble at the same price, see our gray checks guide.

How to order blue checks

- Enter your name, address, bank routing number, account number and the starting check number, as the Checks Unlimited how-to-order page asks.
- Add Blue Classic labels, the navy cover or a spare register on the same page if you want them.
- Proofread the preview, especially the account number, then pick delivery and pay.
The Checks Unlimited FAQ says the routing number you enter gives the printer all the information it needs about your bank. The how-to-order page lists the same fields we did above, and our reorder guide walks through each screen.
