What is ITF-14?

ITF-14 is commonly used to encode GTIN-14 identifiers on shipping containers, cartons and outer packaging. It is based on Interleaved 2 of 5 and is designed for reliable scanning on packaging materials that may not provide the same print quality as retail labels.

Depending on the printing method and packaging specification, ITF-14 symbols may use bearer bars around the barcode.

Data and validation

ITF-14 uses a 14-digit GTIN, including a required check digit. Barcode Next validates numeric length and check-digit consistency before generating the final symbol.

Structure, size and quiet zones

The symbol uses paired numeric encoding, so the final bar pattern is compact for numeric data. Quiet zones must remain clear, and bearer-bar configuration may be relevant depending on the intended print process.
