Economy Board
Economy board Big Check is a lightweight material that is popular because of its low cost and durability. It does not dent easily and is waterproof, unlike a foam board material. It is a corrugated plastic that has hollow grooves that run down the center of the material, is very light weight.
Dry Erase
We add a dry erase lamination over your entire Big check making it re-usable if you use dry erase, liquid chalk, or wet erase markers. We recommend wiping off all marker on your Big Check before storing it away. Sometimes if the marker is left on the lamination for long periods of time it will stain the lamination and you’ll have to replace your Big Check.
You’ll want to leave most of your Big Check blank, anything in your artwork will be permanently printed. Typically, our customers will add just their logo and/or a signature on the check and leave everything else blank so they can re-use all the fields.

Questions?
The Presentation
This Big Gift Card is typically used for a 1–4 person presentation. Remember to use highly lit places to make sure everybody's face can be seen in the photo. If you will be sending your picture into the newspaper or an online blog, then be sure to include a caption that they can use including people's names (if given permission) and a reason for the giving of the check.
Can you really redeem this gift card?
Typically the gift cards are novelty items to have fun with and are used for presentations or photo opp purposes, but, it's totally up to the vendor to accept it as a real gift card or not. Usually you would provide a real gift card after the presention or photo shoot. We have also seen our gift cards be used as funny gifts to friends, gifts for loved ones, wedding anniversaries, graduations, birthdays and more.
