Figure 9: UPC Shipping Container Symbol (SCS)
The UPC Shipping Container Symbol (SCS) is very similar in structure to the Universal Product
Code (UPC). Both employ a unique UCC company prefix (assigned by the Uniform Code Council)
and a 1 to 5-digit item number (assigned by the manufacturer, depending on the number of digits in
the UCC company prefix). Each employs a check digit at the end of the code.
The SCS also has a packaging indicator field preceding the UCC company prefix. Its symbology is
called Interleaved 2 of 5 (I-2/5) and uses a series of wide and narrow bands and spaces to
represent digits and is surrounded on two or four sides by a frame called a bearer.
The packaging indicator (historically called an assortment indicator) can be any single digit (except
8 which is reserved for future use):
Packaging
Indicator Description
0 Is always used when the UPC code on the case and on the individual items inside the case are
different or when both a UPC Version A symbol and a UPC Shipping Container Symbol (I-2/5) must
appear on the same carton (for products where the shipping container also acts as the package for
the consumer product).
1 Is used traditionally when the UPC code on the case and on the individual items inside the case
are the same.
