Make it from a product number
A carton's number is the product's EAN or UPC with a packaging level in front and a new check digit.
We draw the barcode for a number you already have. Carton numbers come from your company's GS1 range, the same as your products. Use a different packaging level for each carton size.

Questions
What number goes in an ITF-14 barcode?
A GTIN-14, the number for a carton of products. It's the product's EAN or UPC with a packaging level digit (1 to 8) in front and a new check digit. Use a different level for each carton size, such as 1 for a case of 12 and 2 for a case of 24.
What are the thick bars around the barcode?
Bearer bars. They spread the printing pressure on cardboard and stop a scanner reading half the barcode. We draw them at the top and bottom.
What size should it be?
The standard is 1.016 mm bars, about 152 mm wide and 32 mm tall, for printing straight onto corrugated cartons. On printed labels you can go down to 0.495 mm bars.
Can I use ITF-14 on products in shops?
No. Shop tills expect EAN-13 or UPC-A. ITF-14 is for cartons scanned in warehouses and at delivery.
What if the carton's contents vary in weight?
Use packaging level 9. The label then also needs the actual weight or count, usually in a GS1-128 barcode.
