ITF-14 (Interleaved 2 of 5) is a 14-digit barcode standard specifically designed for shipping containers and trade item identification. Based on the Global Trade Item Number (GTIN-14), it uses an interleaved encoding method where pairs of digits are encoded together, creating a highly efficient format for large-scale logistics and warehouse operations.

Technical Features:
  • Interleaved encoding (pairs of digits)
  • 14-digit GTIN-14 format compliance
  • High print tolerance and readability
  • Bearer bars for improved scanning
Supply Chain Applications:
  • Shipping container identification
  • Case and pallet marking
  • Warehouse management systems
  • Distribution center operations

GTIN-14 Structure: The 14-digit format includes a packaging indicator (1 digit), UPC/EAN identifier (12 digits), and check digit (1 digit). This hierarchical system enables tracking from individual items up through cases, pallets, and shipping containers, providing complete supply chain visibility.

Industrial Advantages: ITF-14's interleaved design and bearer bar system make it exceptionally reliable for industrial printing environments. The format's ability to maintain readability on corrugated surfaces and under warehouse conditions makes it the preferred choice for B2B logistics and large-scale distribution operations worldwide.
