Question

I would like to know what kind of paper is used to make check stubs.?

Answer 1

It depends entirely on the source of the cheques. Some programs enable a business to print their own cheques from their desktop, in which case the most likely paper used is 24-lb bond or 60-lb offset.

Other, fancier stocks can include a certain cotton content and watermarking, or fine fibres embedded into the grain.

Even if it's on plain paper, the cheques print with security features, or you can order the pre-printed shells and then just overprint the details of the individual cheques with the security already built on.

Answer 2

The same paper that's used for checks!  It's called safety paper.

"Safety paper composition is characterized by a colloidal dispersion therethrough of a small but effective amount of an alcohol-soluble dye consisting essentially of Victoria Blue B stabilized with an alkaline agent selected from the group consisting of carbonates and hydroxides of ammonia and alkali metals, the paper also containing a small but effective amount of one of the reinforcing compounds potassium iodode and manganese sulfate such that the stabilized dye is uniformly masked and rendered water insensitive and such that when a selected portion of said paper is contacted by an ink eradicator selected from the group consisting of a bleaching agent and an organic solvent for said dye, the dye is caused permanently to strain said paper at said selected"

Well, you asked.  I think it means that they specially treat the paper with a dye that ruins ("strains") the paper when it's erased.
