6.1.50 ITF-14
ITF-14 encodes the GTIN-14, this is a 14-digit number used to identify trade items at various
packaging levels (also referred as GTIN).
ITF-14 is based on the Code 2 of 5 Interleaved symbology. It encodes 14 digits (13 usable digits + 1
modulo 10 check digit). The check digit method complies to the EAN-14 method.
ITF- 14 uses “Bearer Bars”, these are horizontal or surrounding bars, to prevent misreads. The
vertical bearer bars must have at least 10 modules distance to the barcode (this is why you have to
adjust a minimum of 12 for the quiet zone to see a vertical bearer bar in TEC-IT Software).
