What is a printable checklist?
A printable checklist is a list of tasks with a box beside each one to tick off. Pick a ready-made list such as moving, party planning or packing, or write your own, then print it and tick the boxes as you go. Use it for any job with steps you do not want to forget.
How to make a printable checklist in 3 steps
-
Start from a list or from scratch
Pick a ready-made list (to-do, moving, party, opening and closing, new employee, before a trip) or a blank one, and give it a title.
-
Add your items
Type each item, group them under section headings, and tick anything already done. Add a notes or “date done” column and blank rows to write in.
-
Print it and tick as you go
Print it or save it as a PDF, keep it where you will see it, and tick each box when it is done.
The ready-made lists
Each one is a starting point: rename, add or remove anything.
- To-do list: eight empty lines under one heading, to fill in on screen or by hand
- Moving checklist: from eight weeks before to after the move
- Party planning: four weeks before to the day itself
- Opening and closing: a shop’s opening, during-the-day and closing tasks
- New employee: before the first day to the end of the first month
- Before a trip: a week before, the day before and before you walk out the door
Tips for a checklist that gets used
- Start each item with a verb (“Book the movers”, “Count the cash drawer”) so it says exactly what to do.
- Keep items small enough to finish in one go; split big jobs into steps.
- Group items by time (this week, moving day) or by place (kitchen, front counter), not both.
- For a routine such as opening and closing, print a fresh copy each day and add a “date done” column or initials.
- Leave a few blank rows for the things you think of later.
Frequently asked questions
Is this checklist maker free?
Yes. It is free to use, needs no account or sign-up, and never adds a watermark or a SnapPaperwork logo to your checklist.
Can I tick items before I print?
Yes. Click a box on the page (or tap it on a phone), or tick it in the form. The tick is printed, so you can share a list with some items already done.
Can I make a blank checklist to fill in by hand?
Yes. Choose the to-do or blank list, leave the items empty, and add blank rows: every line gets an empty box to tick by hand.
How many items can a checklist have?
Up to 20 sections of 30 items each. A long list runs over several pages, each with its own margins and page number, and a section that carries on is marked “(continued)”.
Can I add a notes column or a date column?
Yes. Turn on the notes column to type a note for each item, and the “date done” column for a blank box to write the date in.
Is my information uploaded or stored on your servers?
No. Everything you type stays in your browser and is never sent to me. It is saved on your own device so it is there next time.
