UPC-A Example
UPC-E
To allow the use of UPC barcodes on smaller packages where a full 12-digit barcode may not fit, a
'zero-compressed' version of UPC was developed called UPC-E. This symbology differs from UPC-A in
that it only uses a 6-digit code, does not use middle guard bars, and the end bit pattern (E) becomes
010101. The way in which a 6-digit UPC-E relates to a 12-digit UPC-A is determined by the last (right-
hand most) digit.
