ITF-14 Carton Codes

ITF14 barcode

ITF-14 Carton Codes (also known as GTIN-14 or TUN) are 14-digit barcodes that go on the delivery containers for your retail products. They are based on the product’s EAN-13 barcode number. Watch our short video to learn more about ITF-14 Carton Codes. We will email your carton code images in 4 different formats (jpeg, png, SVG & pdf). You can then choose the format you prefer and print your carton code onto the delivery box. 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, whether they are being sold individually or in bulk). Please place your order below if you need an ITF-14 Carton Code.

    You will be asked to enter your EAN-13 barcode number on the checkout page (if you are purchasing an EAN-13 barcode at the same time as an ITF-14 barcode, then just type “N/A” because we will assign an EAN-13 barcode number to you, and then use that number to create your ITF-14 barcode images)

    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.

How to use an ITF-14 Carton Code:

Example Number One: If you want to deliver tins of tomatoes to supermarkets (and each tin is to be sold individually once in the supermarket), then you will need: 1) One EAN-13 barcode (e.g. ‘0123456789012’*) to go onto each of the tins; and 2) One ITF-14 Carton Code (based on your EAN barcode – i.e. ‘10123456789019’*) to be printed onto the delivery cartons. * FYI: to turn an EAN-13 number into an ITF-14 number, a digit (usually a “1”) is added to the start of the EAN-13 number, and then the checksum digit (the last digit) is re-calculated. Example Number Two: If your tins of tomatoes were to be sold in the supermarkets both as a) individual tins and as b) 6-packs of tins, then you would need: 1) Two separate EAN-13 barcodes (one for the tins being sold individually, and the other for the 6-packs of tins); and 2) Two ITF-14 Carton Codes (one based on each of the EAN barcode numbers). One Carton Code would be printed onto the delivery box that contained the individual tins, and the other would be printed onto the delivery box that contained the 6-pack lots of tins.

Here are some common questions:

What size should I print my carton code?

The standard size for general distribuion environments is 32mm tall (the height of the vertical bars – not including the horizontal thicker bearer bars. Please see this page for carton code dimensions.

How many carton codes do I need?

ITF-14 Codes are 14-digit barcodes that go on the delivery containers for your retail products (they are based on the product’s EAN-13 barcode number). You may not need them at all. However if you are supplying some of the big chains such as Bunnings you will need them. Carton codes identiy how many multiple units of the same product are in the carton. So if you have a product that is being packed into cartons of 20, then that carton of 20 is going into a carton of  4×20=80 units you would need 2 carton codes; one for the inner (20 units) and one for the outer (80 units)
