UPC is the standard barcode for items for sale to the public. It is the code seen on items at the local supermarket. UPCA is a fixed length, numeric only barcode.
It contains:
-
1 digit for a system number
-
5 digits for the manufacturer number
-
5 digits for the product number
-
One checksum digit
The position and value of the digits is standardized by a grocery industry committee. UPCA and UPCE also allow two or five digit supplemental numbers.
UPCA and UPCE codes have an automatic checksum.
Only tags with the system character of 0 can be encoded with this symbology.
