What is an ITF-14 barcode?

ITF-14 is the barcode printed on shipping cases, cartons and pallets — the outer packaging a shop never puts on a checkout belt. It carries exactly 14 digits, and those 14 digits are a GTIN-14: a packaging-level indicator digit, then the GS1 company prefix and item reference of the product inside, then a check digit. It is a fixed-length application of Interleaved 2 of 5, which is why the symbol is all bars and spaces with no letters anywhere. Its whole job is to be read reliably in a warehouse, off corrugated board, by a scanner that may be a metre away and off-axis.

How many digits does ITF-14 need, and who works out the check digit?

Enter 13 digits and the fourteenth is calculated and appended for you: the standard mod-10 weighting, three and one alternating across the first 13 digits, subtracted from the next multiple of ten. Enter all 14 and the encoder checks the one you typed rather than replacing it — if the fourteenth digit is not the right check digit for the first 13, the symbol is refused and nothing is drawn. That is deliberate. A tool that silently rewrote your last digit would hand you a barcode for a different GTIN than the one on your paperwork. Anything other than 13 or 14 digits is rejected at the field, and so is a space in the middle: the digits go to the encoder exactly as typed, minus surrounding whitespace, so a number pasted as 1 540014 128876 has to have its spaces removed first.

What is the indicator digit at the front of a GTIN-14?

The first of the 14 digits describes the packaging level, not the product. In GS1's numbering, 1 through 8 identify successively larger or simply different standard packaging configurations of the same item — an inner carton and a full case of the same product share every other digit and differ only here — while 9 is reserved for variable-measure trade items. A 0 in that position means the number is the base item's own GTIN padded out to 14 digits rather than a distinct case. Which indicator to use is a decision made in your own item master or by whoever assigns your GTINs; this generator does not assign, validate or look up indicator digits, company prefixes or GS1 licences. It encodes the 14 digits you give it, and checks only that there are 13 or 14 of them and that the check digit adds up.

What is the difference between ITF-14 and plain ITF (Interleaved 2 of 5)?

ITF-14 is one fixed-length, standardised use of Interleaved 2 of 5. Plain ITF is the parent symbology, and both are in the format picker on this page. The differences that matter: plain ITF takes any even number of digits — up to 24 in this tool's input field — because Interleaved 2 of 5 encodes digits in pairs, one in the bars and one in the spaces between them, so an odd count cannot be represented at all. It computes no check digit, because the symbology defines none; if your scheme needs one, it is part of the number you type. ITF-14 fixes the length at 14, requires the last digit to be a valid mod-10 check digit, and means a GTIN-14 to everyone who reads it. Use plain ITF for internal reference numbers that are nobody else's business, and ITF-14 when a trading partner is going to scan the case.

Can an ITF-14 be scanned at a retail checkout?

Not as a retail item barcode. Point-of-sale systems are built around UPC-A and EAN-13 on the consumer unit; ITF-14 identifies the case that the consumer units arrive in, and it is read in receiving, warehousing and distribution rather than at the till. If you are labelling the thing a shopper picks up, you want a UPC barcode in the US and Canada or an EAN-13 elsewhere, on a number licensed from GS1. The same generator makes both — switch the format picker above.

How small can an ITF-14 be printed?

Smaller than you think, but not as small as a retail barcode. GS1's X-dimension range for ITF-14 starts at 0.495 mm — roughly twice the narrowest bar a UPC symbol is allowed — precisely because these symbols are printed on corrugated board where ink spreads and the substrate is rough. The generator does the arithmetic for you: set a target print width in millimetres, inches or pixels, and it reports the finished size and warns you on screen the moment one bar would come out under 0.495 mm wide. It also writes ten modules of clear space into the file on each side, which at a realistic case size is a centimetre or more of empty board you must not crop into or print over.

Is the ITF-14 generator really free, and is there a watermark?

Free, with no account and no watermark. This generator asks for nothing to create a code and nothing to download the file — no signup, no email, no card — and there is no paid barcode tier at QRKIT to upgrade into. Vector SVG and PDF export, the print-width and DPI controls, the plain-ITF format and bulk generation are all in the same free tool. The barcodes are yours to use commercially. That is worth stating precisely because it is unusual: the QR side of this site does ask for a free account before some downloads, and the barcode tool deliberately does not.

Can I generate ITF-14 barcodes in bulk from a spreadsheet?

Yes, up to 500 at a time, free and without an account. Open “Generate many at once” underneath the generator, paste a column of GTIN-14s or upload a CSV, and take the whole run as a ZIP of PNGs, a ZIP of SVGs, or a single PDF with one code per page. If your file has a header row the tool works out which column holds the numbers and lets you correct the choice, so a name,gtin export does not quietly encode the product names. Every row goes through the same 13-or-14-digit and check-digit checks as the single-code field, and any row that fails is listed by its row number and left out of the download rather than shipped as a broken label. The 500-row cap is a browser-memory limit, identical for everyone — no plan raises it.

Can I edit or track an ITF-14 barcode after it is printed?

No. Every barcode this tool makes is static: the digits live in the bars, so once a case is printed the symbol says what it says forever, and nothing routes through us to be counted. There are no scan analytics, no redirects, no editing after download, and no barcode API to call. That is the symbology, not a feature held back for a paid tier. If you need a code whose destination you can change later, or scan counts, that is a dynamic QR code — a different symbology, a different product, and unlike the barcode tool it does involve an account.

Do you generate GS1-128 or SSCC pallet labels?

No. A GS1-128 symbol is a Code 128 that opens with an FNC1 character so readers know the payload is GS1 application identifiers, and this tool cannot emit that character — our Code 128 accepts standard ASCII only, and FNC1 lives outside it. So an SSCC-18 on a pallet label, or a case label carrying batch and expiry as (AI)value pairs, is not something you can build here. The one structured GS1 payload we do generate is GS1 DataMatrix, on the Data Matrix generator. For the ITF-14 itself, which carries a bare GTIN-14 and no application identifiers, this page is the whole job.

Can I download an ITF-14 as SVG or vector PDF?

Both, free. The SVG is real geometry written into the file rather than a traced bitmap, so it opens in Illustrator, Inkscape, CAD and label software and scales without softening a bar edge. The PDF is genuine vector too — the symbol is redrawn with the PDF's own drawing primitives on a page sized to the barcode, not embedded as a picture — which is what a carton printer will want. PNG is there as the raster option at 72, 150, 300 or 600 DPI. There is no EPS export. One ceiling worth knowing, and it is not a raster-only one: every export is measured off a 10,000-pixel-per-side grid at the chosen resolution, so at 300 DPI the widest file of any type is about 846 mm and at 600 DPI about 423 mm. Ask for more and you get the capped size in SVG and PDF exactly as in PNG — the tool tells you on screen when a request has run into it.

The number

What the Fourteen Digits Actually Are

An ITF-14 is not a free-form number in a barcode. It is a GTIN-14, and every digit has a job.

1Indicator

540014128876Company prefix + item reference

3Check digit

The indicator digit

The first digit describes the packaging level, not the product. GS1 uses 1–8 for standard packaging configurations of the same item — an inner carton and a full case differ only here — and 9 for variable-measure trade items. A 0 means this is the base item's own number padded to 14 digits.

Prefix and item reference

The middle digits are the GS1 company prefix licensed to whoever owns the brand, followed by the item reference that identifies the product inside. The split between them varies with the length of the prefix. This generator never touches these: they come from your item master.

The check digit

The fourteenth digit is a mod-10 checksum over the first thirteen, weighting them 3 and 1 alternately and subtracting the total from the next multiple of ten. Type thirteen digits and it is worked out for you. Type fourteen and it is checked, never rewritten.

Two consequences of the fixed length are worth stating, because they are the two things that get an ITF-14 rejected before it is ever printed. First, the input takes digits only — no letters, no hyphens, and no spaces inside the number, so a GTIN pasted out of a spreadsheet as 1 540014 128876 has to have its spaces removed. Second, if you supply all fourteen digits and the last one is not the correct check digit, nothing is drawn. We do not quietly replace it: rewriting your final digit would hand you a barcode for a different case than the one on your paperwork.

An honest limit

The Bearer Bar We Do Not Draw

Look at an ITF-14 on a real shipping case and you will usually see a heavy black bar running above and below the symbol, often closing into a full rectangle around it. That is the bearer bar. This generator does not draw one. Neither, in our experience, do the other free tools — they simply do not mention it.

It matters because of how Interleaved 2 of 5 is built. Digits are encoded in pairs, one digit in the bars and the next in the spaces between them, and the stop pattern is short. A scanner beam that crosses the symbol diagonally can enter partway through, leave partway through, and still come back with a shorter number that looks perfectly valid — a partial scan. The bearer bar is the fix: a solid horizontal bar above and below the symbol means a beam on a shallow angle runs into black and the read fails, instead of succeeding with the wrong case number. On corrugated board, where flexographic ink spreads and the surface is anything but flat, that is not a theoretical risk.

What this means for a carton print run. What you download here is the bars, the quiet zones and the human-readable digits. If the job is going to press against a GS1 or ISO/IEC 16390 specification, the bearer bar has to be added in your prepress or label software, along with any bar-width reduction your printer asks for to compensate for ink spread — we draw bars at nominal width and apply no reduction. Because the SVG and PDF exports are real vector, adding a frame around the symbol is a two-minute job in Illustrator or a label editor. The one rule while you do it: the bearer bar must sit outside the ten modules of clear space on each side, not inside them.

For anything internal — a rack label, a tote, a work order, a proof of concept, a carton going nowhere near a trading partner’s scanner — the symbol as exported reads fine, and this is the fastest way to get one. For a production run of retail-bound cases, treat what we give you as the symbol, not the finished label artwork. Being told that up front is worth more than a fourteenth feature.

Specs

What This ITF-14 Generator Does, Exactly

Including the limits. A tool that only lists what it can do is harder to plan a carton run around than one that tells you where it stops.

Property	Value	Notes
Symbology	ITF-14 (Interleaved 2 of 5, fixed length)	The case-level application of ITF standardised by GS1 and ISO/IEC 16390.
Character set	Digits 0–9 only	No letters, no punctuation, and no spaces — not even inside the number. Paste 1 540014 128876 and it is refused until the spaces come out.
Length	13 or 14 digits	13 means “work out my check digit”. 14 means “here is the whole GTIN-14”. Nothing else is accepted, and the field stops at 14 characters.
Check digit	Calculated from 13, verified at 14	Mod-10, weights 3 and 1 alternating. A wrong fourteenth digit is refused rather than silently corrected.
What the digits mean	GTIN-14	Indicator digit, GS1 company prefix, item reference, check digit. We encode them; we do not assign or look them up.
Bearer bar	Not drawn	The export is bars, quiet zones and digits. Add the bearer bar in prepress — see the section below, which is the most important one on this page.
Bar-width reduction	Not applied	Bars are drawn at nominal width. Compensating for ink spread on corrugated board is your printer's job, not ours.
Quiet zone	10 modules each side	Derived from the bar width rather than hardcoded, and written into the exported file. Never crop or print into it.
Smallest bar we advise	0.495 mm	Where GS1's X-dimension range for ITF-14 starts. The tool warns on screen if your chosen print width lands under it.
Human-readable line	Optional, on by default	The 14 digits under the bars, toggled with “Show text below barcode”. A GS1 case label may also need text we do not draw.
Export formats	PNG, SVG, PDF	SVG and PDF are genuine vector. There is no EPS export.
Export resolution	72, 150, 300 or 600 DPI	Paired with a target print width in mm, inches or pixels. Every export is sized off a 10,000-pixel-per-side grid, so at 300 DPI nothing comes out wider than about 846 mm — SVG and PDF included, not just PNG.
Design controls	Bar colour, background, bar width, height	That is the whole list. No logo, no gradient, no frame — and a frame is exactly what a bearer bar is.
Batch size	Up to 500 codes at once	A browser-memory cap, identical for everyone. Signing in does not raise it, because there is nothing to sign in to.
Code type	Static	The digits live in the bars. No redirects, no scan counts, no editing after the carton is printed.

Not on the list, and deliberately: GS1-128. A GS1-128 opens with an FNC1 character to mark its payload as application identifiers, and our Code 128 accepts standard ASCII only, so an SSCC-18 pallet label is not something you can build here. There is also no barcode API, no Excel add-in and no font.

The parent symbology

Plain ITF: Interleaved 2 of 5, Any Even Length

ITF-14 is one fixed-length application of a broader symbology. The parent is in the format picker above as ITF (Interleaved 2 of 5), and it behaves differently in three ways that decide which one you want.

Even digits only

Interleaved 2 of 5 encodes digits two at a time — the first of each pair in the bars, the second in the spaces between them. An odd count cannot be represented at all, so the tool rejects it rather than padding a zero on for you. Up to 24 digits in this field.

No check digit at all

The symbology defines none, so nothing is calculated and nothing is verified. If your numbering scheme uses a check digit, it is part of the number you type. That is the opposite of ITF-14, where the fourteenth digit is checked every time.

Nobody else's business

Plain ITF suits internal reference numbers — rack locations, work orders, totes, a warehouse's own carton IDs. The moment a trading partner has to scan the case, you want ITF-14, because that is the number they can look up.

One thing they share: the partial-scan weakness described above is a property of Interleaved 2 of 5 itself, not of ITF-14. Plain ITF has no bearer bar convention to protect it, which is a reason to keep its symbols short, print them well, and reach for Code 128 when an internal number needs letters or a more forgiving symbology anyway.

Print geometry

Quiet Zones, Bar Width and the Size It Prints At

ITF-14 lives on corrugated board, which is the hardest common substrate to print a barcode on. Most free generators hand you a PNG at whatever size it came out and leave the rest to you.

Ten modules of clear space

Written into the exported file on each side, and derived from your chosen bar width rather than fixed — widen the bars and the quiet zone widens with them. At a realistic case size that is a centimetre or more of blank board. Do not crop it, print over it, or butt another element against it.

A bar-width floor that means something

The tool works out how wide one bar will be at your chosen print size and warns you below 0.495 mm, which is where GS1's X-dimension range for ITF-14 starts. That is roughly twice the narrowest bar a retail UPC is allowed, and the difference is the substrate.

Set the width, not a guess

Enter a target print width in millimetres, inches or pixels and the export is generated at exactly that size, so nothing has to be scaled up afterwards. The one ceiling is 10,000 pixels per side at the chosen resolution, and it caps SVG and PDF as much as PNG, because every file is measured off the same grid — about 846 mm at 300 DPI, half that at 600. The tool says so on screen when a request hits it.

SVG

Real geometry written into the file, not a traced bitmap. Opens in Illustrator, Inkscape, CAD and label software, scales without softening a bar edge, and is the right file to hand a carton printer who then adds the bearer bar.

PDF

Also true vector — the symbol is redrawn with the PDF's own drawing primitives on a page sized to the barcode, rather than embedded as a picture of one. It stays sharp at press resolution.

PNG

The raster option, at 72, 150, 300 or 600 DPI. Fine for a screen, a pick list or an office label printer; reach for SVG or PDF when the file is going to a plate.

What we do not do: we draw the symbol and export the file. Print quality on the finished case — contrast, ink spread, bar-width gain, grading against a print-quality verification standard — depends on your press, plate and board, and is not something QRKIT measures, grades or certifies. QRKIT is not a GS1 conformance or verification service, and nothing here is approved or endorsed by GS1. Scan a real printed case with the equipment that will read it before committing to a run.

In bulk

500 Case Codes From One Paste

Open Generate many at once underneath the generator, paste a column of GTIN-14s or upload a CSV, and take the whole run in one download. No account, no upgrade prompt.

Paste or upload

One value per line, or a CSV. When your file has a header row the tool works out which column holds the numbers, shows you the choice it made and lets you change it — so a name,gtin export does not quietly encode the product names.

Three outputs

A ZIP of PNGs, a ZIP of SVGs, or a single PDF with one code per page. Files are numbered in input order, so the archive sorts back the way your list was written.

Bad rows are named

Every row runs through the same 13-or-14-digit and check-digit checks as the single-code field. A row that fails is listed with its row number and left out of the download, rather than shipped as a label nobody can scan.

About the 500-row cap. It is a browser-memory limit and nothing else — the batch is rendered on your own machine, and 500 symbols at 300 DPI is already tens of megabytes held in memory. It is the same number for everyone, no account or plan raises it, and when it bites the tool tells you exactly how many rows were left out so you can split the list and run the rest.

Step by step

How to Create an ITF-14 Barcode

Step 1

Enter the GTIN-14

Thirteen digits if you want the check digit worked out, all fourteen if you already have it. Digits only, no spaces. The generator above is already set to ITF-14 and draws the symbol as you type.

Step 2

Set the print width

Give it a target width in mm, inches or pixels, and pick 72–600 DPI for raster output. The tool reports the finished size and warns if one bar falls under 0.495 mm.

Step 3

Download

SVG or PDF for anything going to a printer, PNG for a screen or an office label printer. No signup, no account, no watermark, and the code is yours to use commercially.

Step 4

Add the bearer bar

For a production carton run, place the bearer bar and any bar-width reduction around the symbol in your prepress or label software — outside the quiet zones, never into them.

Reading one back is a different job. The stock iPhone Camera app will not decode an ITF-14 — it looks for QR and App Clip codes, not linear symbols — so pointing a phone at the carton and getting nothing back proves nothing about the print. A dedicated scanning app will read one, but the reader that matters is the warehouse handheld or fixed-mount scanner on the receiving dock, with Interleaved 2 of 5 enabled; on some units that symbology ships disabled by default precisely because of the partial-scan risk. QRKIT generates ITF-14 barcodes; it does not decode them.

Be clear about it

No bearer bar. The symbol, quiet zones and digits only. Add the frame in prepress.
No GS1-128 and no SSCC label. Our Code 128 is plain Code 128; it cannot emit the FNC1 that GS1-128 requires.
No dynamic or trackable barcode. Every code here is static, so it cannot be edited after printing and its scans cannot be counted.
No barcode API or integration. No REST endpoint, no Zapier, no plugin, no library.
No decoding. This page generates ITF-14 barcodes; it does not read them.

Need a code you can change or measure instead? That is what a dynamic QR code is for — edit the destination after printing, and see scan counts. It is a different symbology and a different product, and unlike the barcode tool it involves an account. Learn about dynamic QR codes.

ITF-14 Barcode Generator — Frequently Asked Questions

: ITF-14 is the barcode printed on shipping cases, cartons and pallets — the outer packaging a shop never puts on a checkout belt. It carries exactly 14 digits, and those 14 digits are a GTIN-14: a packaging-level indicator digit, then the GS1 company prefix and item reference of the product inside, then a check digit. It is a fixed-length application of Interleaved 2 of 5, which is why the symbol is all bars and spaces with no letters anywhere. Its whole job is to be read reliably in a warehouse, off corrugated board, by a scanner that may be a metre away and off-axis.
: No, and that is the one thing to know before you send artwork to a carton printer. The symbol this tool exports is the bars, the quiet zones and the human-readable digits — there is no bearer bar, no surrounding frame and no bar-width reduction applied for ink spread. The bearer bar exists because the stop pattern of Interleaved 2 of 5 is short, and built from the same narrow and wide elements as the data itself: a scan beam crossing the symbol at a shallow angle can enter partway through, leave partway through, and still come back with a shorter number that looks structurally complete. A solid bar above and below the symbol (or a full frame) forces that partial scan to fail instead. If your carton run is being printed to a GS1 or ISO/IEC 16390 specification, your prepress or label software has to add the bearer bar and any print-tolerance bar-width reduction around what we export. The export is real vector, so that is straightforward — just do not let the frame eat into the ten modules of clear space on each side.
: Enter 13 digits and the fourteenth is calculated and appended for you: the standard mod-10 weighting, three and one alternating across the first 13 digits, subtracted from the next multiple of ten. Enter all 14 and the encoder checks the one you typed rather than replacing it — if the fourteenth digit is not the right check digit for the first 13, the symbol is refused and nothing is drawn. That is deliberate. A tool that silently rewrote your last digit would hand you a barcode for a different GTIN than the one on your paperwork. Anything other than 13 or 14 digits is rejected at the field, and so is a space in the middle: the digits go to the encoder exactly as typed, minus surrounding whitespace, so a number pasted as 1 540014 128876 has to have its spaces removed first.
: The first of the 14 digits describes the packaging level, not the product. In GS1's numbering, 1 through 8 identify successively larger or simply different standard packaging configurations of the same item — an inner carton and a full case of the same product share every other digit and differ only here — while 9 is reserved for variable-measure trade items. A 0 in that position means the number is the base item's own GTIN padded out to 14 digits rather than a distinct case. Which indicator to use is a decision made in your own item master or by whoever assigns your GTINs; this generator does not assign, validate or look up indicator digits, company prefixes or GS1 licences. It encodes the 14 digits you give it, and checks only that there are 13 or 14 of them and that the check digit adds up.

It computes no check digit, because the symbology defines none; if your scheme needs one, it is part of the number you type. ITF-14 fixes the length at 14, requires the last digit to be a valid mod-10 check digit, and means a GTIN-14 to everyone who reads it. Use plain ITF for internal reference numbers that are nobody else's business, and ITF-14 when a trading partner is going to scan the case.
