ITF-14 Carton Barcodes
You can purchase one below if you need a barcode for the outer delivery carton (for your product).
An outer delivery carton barcode is an ITF-14 Code (also sometimes called a GTIN 14 or TUN). ITF-14 Carton Codes are 14 digits long (generated from the retail product’s 13-digit EAN barcode number).

If you are purchasing an EAN-13 barcode at the same time as an ITF-14 barcode, then just ignore the box below.
NOTE ITF-14 barcodes are for use on cartons for shipping, not for retail sale. If your carton is being sold at retail level, you should use an EAN-13 retail barcode on the carton.
Please see our help video to learn more about carton codes.

How to use your ITF-14 Carton Code:
You will receive your ITF-14 Carton Code images via email in 4 different formats (jpeg, png, SVG & pdf). You can then print the ITF-14 Code onto your delivery carton.
Note: ITF-14 Codes are only used for the outer shipping containers/cartons containing the retail products. They are not used on retail products themselves (all products for retail sale need EAN barcodes).
Some examples of how to use an ITF-14 code:
First Example:
If you want to supply tins of apricots to retail stores in delivery boxes that contain 40 tins each, and these tins are to be sold individually within the retail stores, then you will need the following:
1) One EAN-13 barcode (e.g. ‘0123456789012’) to go onto each of the tins (retail products); and
2) One ITF-14 Code (generated from your product barcode – i.e. ‘10123456789019’) to be printed onto each of the delivery boxes.
Scenario Two:
If your apricot tins are to be sold in retail stores both as individual tins and as 4-pack lots, then you need to get:
1) Two EAN barcodes (one to go onto the tins that are being sold individually, and the other to go onto the 4-pack tins); and
2) Two ITF-14 carton codes (one generated from each EAN barcode number). One ITF code would be for the delivery boxes that contained the individual tins; the other ITF-14 code would be printed onto the delivery boxes that contained the 4-pack lots of tins.

Here are some common questions:
This means that if the retailers only use barcodes for option 1, you can get away with having the same barcode for 2 product variations (i.e. different colours of the same product). However, if the retailer uses barcodes for option 2, then a different barcode will be required for each product variation.
In general, retailers prefer to stock products that will be straightforward to manage. Some retailers may prefer not to stock products if they manually count how many are left of each size and reorder accordingly. Therefore it is recommended that you have a different barcode for each variation.
