UPC Shipping Container Symbol (ITF-14)

The UPC Shipping Container Symbol (ITF-14) barcode is used to mark packaging materials that contain products labeled with a UPC or EAN product identification number.

 

This barcode provides a GS1 implementation of an Interleaved 2 of 5 barcode for encoding a Global Trade Item Number (an identifier for trade items developed by GS1). This barcode always uses a total of 14 digits.

 

The thick black border around the symbol (the Bearer Bar) is intended to improve barcode reading reliability.
