Michigan campus and football design ideas
A well-lit campus photograph can leave more room for readable writing than a crowded game-day scene. For a maize-and-blue look, use color around the edges and keep the center light. Crop horizontally and keep a building, face or other important subject away from the writing fields.
The earlier campus and Go Blue pictures are design illustrations, not current merchant product previews. Start with an original image you have permission to use rather than downloading a small screenshot of a finished check.
Choose your format and review the extras
Checks Unlimited’s Single Photo product, code 656, repeats one customer-supplied picture. Choose singles or carbonless duplicates, each with 80 checks per box, in one-, two- or four-box quantities.
Address labels, a cover and a register are separate paid options. SentryShield protection is added for an extra charge and can be removed in the cart. Check the delivery charge, tax and any optional rush charge before paying.
If you prefer ready-made artwork, review the retailer’s collegiate collection for the exact school. We have not verified a Michigan Wolverines product there; Michigan State would be a different school. The separate Sports Fanatic design is generic multi-sport artwork, not a Michigan design.
Create and proof your photo checks
- Pick a format and quantity. Open Single Photo, choose singles or duplicates and the number of boxes, then review any accessories you want.
- Upload a suitable image. Follow the current file instructions and inspect the crop. Keep the subject clear and leave light space for printed information and handwriting.
- Check the details before ordering. Compare your name, address, account details and starting number with a current check or information from your bank. Review the image proof, selected extras, delivery and final total.
Save your original photograph for future use. Our earlier photo-check walkthrough remains available as a historical reference; the retailer’s current screens take precedence.
Questions before ordering
Can I buy the exact Michigan designs shown here?
These are earlier illustrative layouts, not a verified current retail collection. The main shopping link is a photo-check product for your own suitable image. Review the personalized proof rather than assuming our example will transfer to your order.
What file should I prepare?
Checks Unlimited lists JPG/JPEG or BMP, smaller than 4 MB, at least 432 pixels wide by 198 pixels tall. Those are minimum upload dimensions, not a print-quality guarantee. A clear horizontal original is a better starting point than a small web image.
Can I use a university logo or an image found online?
Do not assume it is accepted. Follow the retailer’s photo-content rules and obtain the necessary copyright and trademark permissions. An image search or a logo in an illustration does not establish permission or printing acceptance.
Will these checks work with my account?
Verify the account information and any bank-specific requirements before ordering. The retailer verifies orders. Ask your bank if you are unsure about the details or format needed for your account.
