How to create and print a ITF-14 barcode
ITF-14 represents a 14-digit GTIN on corrugated cartons and outer cases that are normally scanned in distribution rather than at retail POS.
Where ITF-14 fits
- Corrugated shipping cartons
- Outer cases and distribution units
- GTIN-14 logistics identification
- 1
Enter valid ITF-14 data
Enter 13 digits to calculate the final check digit or all 14 digits for a complete assigned GTIN-14. The packaging indicator is part of the number.
- 2
Confirm checks and encoding rules
The fourteenth digit is the mandatory GTIN check digit. It validates the number structure but not whether the GTIN was assigned to that packaging level.
- 3
Print at final size and scan-test
Use bearer bars and adequate magnification for corrugated material, where ink spread and uneven surfaces can reduce scan quality. Test at conveyor or warehouse scanning distance, not only with a phone at close range, and verify the full 14-digit decode.
