An SCC14, ITF bar code, has been the standard symbol when coding a box containing products marked with the same UPC code. The standard code is 6" long from end to end of bearer bars. The bearer bar helps the code hold its line when printing to rough surfaces. This code is 14 digits long and includes a modulo check digit (the last number, the mod check character is found by doing arithmetic to the first 13 characters).

The SCC14 is comprised of: the Product Indicator (or PI), a single digit number that gives information about the level of packing.  A "0" PI references a mixed case, 1 is used to indicate a uniform pack of the same item, 2 may mean a case within a case and so this indicator is for levels of pack.  The next series of numbers are the Manufacturers license number, for U.S. companies using UPC symbols the number is preceded by a "0" to match international standards.  The following numbers are most often referenced to the product code of the items contained within the packaging.  The last number is the mod check character referenced above.

When you order your ITF bar code from us, you need to provide us with your 11 digit UPC number and the packaging scheme. We must be given the exact height and length of the area your code must fit.

Note: It is important for the manufacturers to be consistent in their shipping container coding methodology.
