Campus and football photo inspiration
A bright campus photograph can keep one clear subject in view, while a stadium panorama brings a wider scene into the layout. Crop horizontally and leave light space around printed details and handwriting areas. Cardinal red works well as an accent; a dense dark background can make the writing harder to read.
The earlier campus and football pictures are illustrative layouts, not current retailer product previews. Use your own original photograph rather than a screenshot that already contains sample banking details.
Choose the format and check the extras
Checks Unlimited’s Single Photo product, code 656, repeats one customer-supplied image. It offers singles or carbonless duplicates, each with 80 checks per box, in one-, two- or four-box quantities.
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 delivery, tax and any optional rush charge before paying; do not assume accessories are included.
Prefer ready-made artwork? Browse the retailer’s collegiate collection and confirm the exact school on its current product page. We have not verified a Wisconsin Badgers product there. The separate Sports Fanatic design is generic multi-sport artwork, not a Wisconsin–Madison design.
Personalize your checks in three steps
- Choose your format and quantity. Open Single Photo, select singles or duplicates and the number of boxes, then review optional accessories and services.
- Upload and inspect your image. Follow the retailer’s current instructions. Check the crop and keep important subjects clear of the writing fields before accepting the preview.
- Proof the details and total. Compare your name, address, account information and starting number with a current check or information from your bank. Review the image, extras, delivery and final price before payment.
Keep your original photograph for future use. Our earlier photo-check walkthrough remains available as a historical reference; follow the retailer’s current screens for your order.
Questions before ordering
Can I order the exact Wisconsin designs pictured here?
These are earlier design illustrations, not proof of current merchant inventory. The main shopping link opens a separate photo-check product for your own suitable image. Review its personalized proof rather than assuming our pictured example will be supplied.
What image file should I prepare?
Checks Unlimited lists JPG/JPEG or BMP, smaller than 4 MB, at least 432 pixels wide by 198 pixels tall. These 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 from the internet?
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 the checks work with my account?
Verify your account details and any bank-specific requirements before ordering. The retailer verifies orders. Ask your bank if you are unsure which information or format to use.
