Generate an ITF-14 barcode — the 14-digit GTIN-14 symbol printed on shipping cartons, cases, and pallets. Type 13 digits and we add the check digit, then download a scannable ITF-14 barcode as SVG or PNG. Everything runs in your browser, so nothing you enter leaves your device.
How the itf 14 barcode generator works
ITF-14 encodes a 14-digit GTIN-14 and is the standard barcode for shipping containers, cartons, and cases — the outer packaging that holds multiple retail units. It's designed to print and scan reliably on corrugated cardboard.
About ITF-14 Barcodes
ITF-14 (Interleaved 2 of 5, 14 digits) is the GS1 barcode for trade items packed in cases and cartons. It carries a GTIN-14 — a packaging-level identifier — and is built to survive printing directly on rough cardboard, which is why its bars are thick and it's often framed by a bearer bar. It's the case-level companion to retail UPC/EAN codes.
Frequently asked questions
- What is ITF-14 used for?
- ITF-14 encodes a 14-digit GTIN-14 and is the standard barcode for shipping containers, cartons, and cases — the outer packaging that holds multiple retail units. It's designed to print and scan reliably on corrugated cardboard.
- How is ITF-14 different from EAN-13 or UPC?
- EAN-13 and UPC-A identify the individual retail item; ITF-14 identifies a case or carton of those items using the 14-digit GTIN-14. The leading digit is a packaging indicator. Use ITF-14 for cases and EAN/UPC for the units inside.
- Does ITF-14 have a check digit?
- Yes — the 14th digit is a GS1 mod-10 check digit calculated from the first 13. If you enter only 13 digits, this generator computes and appends the correct check digit automatically.
