ITF14Encoder

ITF14 barcode, also known as Shipping Container Symbol, is used for the designation of boxes, cartons and pallets that contain products with UPC/EAN barcodes. The etymology of the name is simple – ITF stands for “Interleaved Two of Five” and the “14” shows the total of numeric digits that can be encoded. These figures are divided into several groups:

• 1st digit – serves as a packaging indicator (3 for inner packs, 5 for carton, 7 for pallet);
• 2nd to 3rd digit – show the UPC numbering system or EAN prefix;
• 4th to 8th digit: presents the manufacturer’s identification number;
• 9th to 13th digit – the identification number of the item;
• 14th digit – check digit;

There are two lines that are typical for the ITF14 and they are the top and bottom bars of the barcode, called “bearer bars”. There is sometimes a probability the barcode to be scanned diagonally and only a part of it to be read. These two lines insure that the scan is made accurately and that the whole data is assimilated.
