A check bundle is N uses of one product, bought in advance and spent whenever you need them. You do not pick vessels at the moment of purchase: deals arrive one at a time, and nobody has the list up front.
Bundles are sold for each of the three documents: vessel dossier, full inspection report, shipowner report.

Bundles are paid by card in US dollars, the same way as single documents.
How the checks are owned and when they expire
A bundle belongs to the organisation, not to a person. One member buys, every member spends: the check is used by whoever needs it now, not only by whoever paid.
There is no expiry. The discount is for volume, not for haste: a check with a deadline turns a saving into a trap.
Checks are spent oldest batch first. The balance sits in the Research section under the product it belongs to — the line "Checks paid for: N". The monthly plan quota, where a product has one, sits in the same place as "In your plan: N of M this month".
How a check is consumed
When you order a document, the system decides what to draw on, in this order:
- The plan's monthly quota, if you have one and it is not used up;
- A purchased check from a bundle;
- A one-off payment, if neither is left.
If the document cannot be built, the check returns to your balance: you will not pay twice for one document.
A bundle check does not apply to the combined "dossier + inspection report" order — that combination is paid for directly.
