An ITF-14 Carton Code is a 14-digit barcode used primarily for warehousing and logistics. These barcodes are applied to cartons that contain multiple instances of the same product or mixed lots of various products. Some large retailers and distributors require ITF-14 carton codes to track products through the supply chain.
Example of an ITF-14 Carton Code
- When a carton contains multiple units of the same product, the ITF-14 barcode’s reference number will match the EAN-13 product code on the individual items.
- When a carton holds a mixed lot of products, a new product number is created for the mixed lot.
Packaging Level Indicator
The first digit of the ITF-14 code is the packaging level indicator. This number can range from 0 to 8 (9 is not used). Standard ITF-14 codes typically use “1” as the packaging level indicator.
