Sage/Peachtree Voucher — Check in Middle
Designed for Sage 50 (formerly Peachtree) users, this format places the check in the middle of the page with voucher stubs above and below. A proven layout for businesses that migrated to or use Sage accounting software.
The Sage voucher-middle format, originally developed for Peachtree accounting software in the 1980s, places the check in the center of an 8.5×11 inch page with voucher stubs above and below. This layout predates QuickBooks and was designed when accounting software was primarily used by mid-size businesses that needed detailed payment documentation. The middle-check position provides equal space for stub information above and below the check, making it ideal for complex payment scenarios requiring extensive documentation. Many construction companies, manufacturing firms, and professional services organizations standardized on Sage/Peachtree accounting systems and continue to use this check format today. The format remains popular because businesses have existing inventories of Sage-compatible check stock and established workflows around this layout. Sage 50 (formerly Peachtree) users export their accounts payable data to CSV format, which PrintCheck can import and print using this template, providing a free alternative when Sage's built-in check printing isn't available or cost-effective.

Printing Tips
- Verify your Sage check stock matches the middle-check format before printing, as some suppliers offer top-check variants.
- Use PrintCheck's offset controls to match your Sage software's default print alignment settings exactly.
- Test print alignment carefully, as the middle position requires precise vertical centering on the page.
- Keep voucher stubs organized by payment date or vendor for easy filing and reconciliation.
- When exporting from Sage, ensure all required fields (payee, amount, date, memo) are included in your CSV export.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- !Using QuickBooks voucher-top check stock with the Sage middle-check template, causing complete misalignment.
- !Not verifying that exported Sage CSV data includes all necessary check fields before importing to PrintCheck.
- !Assuming all Sage check stock is identical, when suppliers offer variations in stub size and check positioning.
- !Forgetting to account for the different stub layouts when switching between Sage and QuickBooks formats.
