Why use a large cheque, and what are the common names it is called?
A large cheque in Singapore is one of the most popular props for events because it creates instant impact during photo opportunities and media coverage. Whether it is presenting a charity donation, announcing a contest winner, or rewarding a corporate sponsorship, a giant cheque draws attention and makes the moment memorable.
Large cheques are also known as presentation cheques, giant cheques, big cheque boards, novelty cheques, oversized cheques, or donation cheques. All of these terms refer to the same concept — a large-format printed board designed to look like a real cheque but customised with your brand, bank name, or event details.
Who typically uses large cheques in Singapore?
Across Singapore, large cheques are widely used by corporates, charities, non-profits, schools, and event organisers. Corporations use them for CSR initiatives, sponsorship announcements, and product launches. Charities and community groups present them during fundraisers, donations, and award ceremonies. Schools and organisations use them for competitions, scholarships, and prize-giving events.
Because they are so versatile, large cheques are now considered a must-have event accessory whenever there is a need to highlight contributions, sponsorships, or achievements in front of an audience and the media.
What are large cheques usually made of, and which materials are more durable?
Most large presentation cheques in Singapore are made from foamboard because it is lightweight, cost-effective, and easy to handle. Foamboard cheques are perfect for one-time events or when budgets are tight.
For clients who want something durable and reusable, we recommend premium laminated foamboard, hardboard or acrylic materials. These last longer, resist wear and tear, and can be reused across multiple events. While they cost a little more, they are ideal for organisations that host regular events and want a professional prop they can use many times.
Beyond the standard sizes and materials listed here, we also produce custom sizes, unique shapes (such as keys, houses, or coins), and premium substrates including acrylic and stainless steel. Email us for a quote on any of these options.
Does a large cheque always mean a cheque?
Not necessarily. While most people associate large cheques with donation or prize presentations, they can also take the form of giant vouchers, oversized tickets, promotional coupons, and even symbolic props such as large keys for motor prizes or new home handovers.
This flexibility makes large cheques and their variations an excellent tool for marketing campaigns, prize presentations, sponsorship announcements, and product giveaways. They help turn an ordinary event into a memorable one while giving your brand maximum exposure in media photos, social media posts, and press releases.
