Overview
ITF-14 barcodes are designed for labeling boxes that have multiple quantities of the same product. These barcodes will include the product’s UPC and the number of items in a box. This feature allows you to scan a case quantity instead of scanning each unit or entering a quantity.
The allowed characters for an ITF-14 barcode are numbers, dashes, and parentheses. The first character must always be a number. So, for example, (01)123456 will not be accepted, but 01-123456 will be considered valid.
An ITF-14 barcode encodes GTIN-14 (Global Trade Item Number) information and comprises four components: A one-digit Indicator prefix, a GS1 Company Prefix, an Item Reference, and a Check Digit. For more details, see the GTIN website.
There are several ways to manage your products’ ITF-14 barcodes in Sellercloud. This article outlines how you can Add, Upload, Print, or Delete them.
