Also Available: Non-Cash Prize / Award Reveal Board
A giant cheque only does its job for a few seconds - the moment it is held up on stage, photographed, and shared which makes it one of the few printed items where legibility and finish quality matter more than almost anything else. A cheque printed too small to read in a photo, or finished with a surface that glares under stage lighting, fails at the one task it exists for, no matter how accurate the amount printed on it is. That single-moment purpose is also why turnaround matters more here than on most print jobs: a giant cheque is usually needed for a fixed event date that cannot move, so production has to be reliable rather than just fast on paper.
Deluxe Printing produces giant cheques on 10mm foam board — the thickness the company’s own specification recommends for large-format freestanding boards — with a digitally printed vinyl sticker finish in matt, gloss or holographic lamination. A design proof is provided before production so the amount, wording, logo and layout are confirmed before the board is printed.
A giant cheque is designed at a scale that most printed material never needs: legible from across a ballroom, a stage, or a stadium pitch, and clear in a photograph taken from a distance rather than up close. That means typography, contrast and layout are chosen for legibility at range first, with the exact amount, payee name and branding fitted around that requirement rather than the other way round. A cheque with fine print or low-contrast text works on a screen preview but fails the moment it is actually held up in front of an audience, which is why the design stage matters as much as the print quality for this format.
No two giant cheques are the same order: the amount, currency, payee name, logo and sometimes the entire concept (a cash figure versus a non-cash prize reveal) change with every booking. Deluxe Printing builds each cheque to the client’s brief rather than filling in a fixed template, which is what makes the format work equally for a bank’s AED donation cheque, a sports tournament’s USD prize cheque, and a corporate team’s reveal of a non-monetary prize such as an experience or trip.

Matt is the safer choice under stage lighting, since a glossy or reflective surface can throw glare back at the camera under spotlights — worth flagging to clients booking a stage presentation rather than a static display.
Corporate CSR and marketing teams order giant cheques for donation presentations and sponsorship reveals, where a large branded cheque photographed with company leadership becomes a reusable PR image. Banks and financial institutions use them for charitable giving announcements and community programme presentations. Event and awards organisers use them for on-stage prize reveals at galas, conferences and ceremonies. Sports and competition organisers use them for prize-money presentations at tournaments. Corporate teams also use the non-cash prize version for incentive programme reveals and gameshow-style event moments.
Giant cheques are printed and finished in-house at our Al Qusais facility on 10mm foam board, with a design proof confirmed before production. Delivery covers Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain, with venue drop-off available for award ceremonies and events — relevant here specifically because giant cheques are usually needed at a fixed venue on a fixed date.
