Last updated: September 2026
What is a mega cheque and what is it used for?
A mega cheque is an oversized, custom-printed novelty cheque used to make fundraising totals, prize handovers, and charity donations visually impressive and camera-ready. They're popular at charity events, corporate sponsorship announcements, raffles, and award ceremonies — any moment where you want to celebrate a financial milestone with real impact. Browse the Mega Cheques gallery to see them in action.
What sizes are available for mega cheques?
Mega Cheques are available in three sizes — Mini, Maxi, and Mega — across both Single Use and Reusable styles. Each size suits different venues and presentation styles, from smaller indoor events to large-scale stage moments. Full dimensions, materials, and pricing for every option are listed on the cheque sizes and specs page.
Can I personalise a mega cheque with my own text and logo?
Every mega cheque is fully personalised by the in-house design team. You can include your organisation's logo, brand colours, a payee name, the amount, and any supporting message or website address you'd like to display. Personalisation is included as standard — there's no extra design fee.
What material are your mega cheques printed on?
Mega Cheques offers two material options depending on how you plan to use your cheque. The single use cheque is printed on high-quality board, ideal for a one-off presentation. The reusable cheque features a dry-wipe surface over the printed design, so you can change the amount and payee details again and again — perfect if you fundraise regularly.
How long does delivery take for a mega cheque order?
Mega cheque orders are typically produced and dispatched within a few working days, with free standard UK shipping included. Exact turnaround times depend on the product and current demand. Full details on the ordering and delivery process are available on the how it works page.
Are mega cheques suitable for outdoor events and presentations?
Mega cheques work brilliantly at outdoor events — sponsored runs, fetes, open-air award ceremonies, and more. For outdoor use, the reusable dry-wipe version offers added durability. That said, like any printed material, they're best kept away from prolonged rain or strong wind. A little care on the day keeps your cheque looking great for photos.
Can I order a mega cheque for a charity fundraising event?
Charity fundraising is one of the most popular uses for a mega cheque, and it's exactly what they're designed for! A giant cheque makes your donation total tangible and exciting — it photographs brilliantly for press coverage and social media, and helps thank donors in a memorable way. If you fundraise regularly, the reusable cheque is especially good value.
Do you offer a same-day or next-day printing service for mega cheques?
Mega Cheques does not currently offer a guaranteed same-day or next-day service. Production involves custom design and printing, so some lead time is needed to get things right. If you have a tight deadline, get in touch with the team as soon as possible and they'll do their best to help.
Can I see a proof before my mega cheque is printed?
Yes — a design proof is provided before your mega cheque goes to print, so you can check all the details are exactly right. Nothing is printed until you're happy with how it looks. This step is built into the standard ordering process, giving you peace of mind that your cheque will look perfect on the day.
