Frequently asked
How do I create an ITF-14 from my EAN-13?
Put a packaging indicator digit (1–8) in front of the first 12 digits of the EAN-13 (dropping its check digit) and enter those 13 digits here — the new check digit is calculated for you.
What are the bars around an ITF-14 barcode?
Bearer bars. They stop a scanner from reading only part of the barcode as a shorter valid code, which Interleaved 2 of 5 is prone to on rough print.
