ITF-14 Carton Codes

An ITF-14 barcode is also known as a GTIN 14 or TUN. It is made from a 14-digit sequence of numbers and is used on the delivery carton (the large carton used to deliver the product for retail sale). An ITF-14 code is based on the product’s UPC-12 or EAN-13 barcode number.

You can order your ITF-14 Code below.

After ordering, please let us know your UPC or EAN product barcode number by adding it to the “additional information” part of the checkout page (or sending us an email). We will use the UPC or EAN number to make your ITF-14 barcode images, and then we will send these to you in 3 formats (jpeg, png, SVG & pdf) via email.

    Please enter your UPC or EAN barcode number into the additional information box when you get to the checkout page. We will use it to create your ITF-14 carton code images. If you are purchasing a UPC or EAN barcode at the same time as an ITF-14 barcode just type “n/a” in the additional information box – we will assign a UPC or EAN barcode number to you, and then use that to create your ITF-14 barcode images.

    NOTE ITF-14 barcodes are for use on cartons for shipping, not for retail sale. If your carton is being sold at a retail level, you should use a UPC or EAN retail barcode on the carton.

ITF-14

NOTE: ITF-14 codes are for the shipper container only. Products for retail sale (whether sold individually or in bulk) need UPC-12 or EAN-13 barcodes. See the examples below:

Example One:

If you are delivering cans of baked beans to supermarkets in boxes that contain 24 cans each, and the cans are to be sold individually in the supermarkets, you would need:

1) One UPC or EAN barcode (for example. ‘0123456789012’) that will go on each of the baked beans cans; and

2) One ITF-14 Code (based on your product’s UPC or EAN number – i.e. ‘10123456789019’) to go onto each of the delivery boxes.

Example Two:

If the supermarkets are selling your baked beans cans both individually (as separate cans) and in a 4-pack lot, then you would need to get:

1) Two different UPC or EAN barcodes (one to go onto the baked bean tins that are being sold individually, and the other to go onto the 4-packs); and

2) Two ITF-14 carton codes (one for the delivery box containing the individual baked bean cans and the other for the delivery box containing the 4-packs of cans).

Here are some common questions:

How many barcodes do I need?

It is best practice to get a different barcode for each product or product variation. This is because stores use barcodes for two primary purposes: 1. Barcodes are used for obtaining the price of the product when scanned at the checkout. 2. Barcodes are used for keeping track of stock and deciding when to reorder an item.

This means that if the retailers only use barcodes for option 1, you can get away with having the same barcode for 2 product variations (i.e. different colours of the same product). However, if the retailer uses barcodes for option 2, then a different barcode will be required for each product variation.

In general, retailers prefer to stock products that will be straightforward to manage. Some retailers may prefer not to stock products if they have to manually count how many are left of each size and reorder accordingly. Therefore it is recommended that you have a different barcode for each variation.

Will Your Barcodes Work Worldwide?

Yes, they will. We can supply EAN-13 Barcodes (which are used worldwide) and UPC-A Barcodes (the USA and Canada).
