Create Interleave 2of5 Barcode

Interleaved 2 of 5 barcode. Commonly used in logistics. This barcode can only encode numbers and the data string must be an even number of digits.

For encoding 14-digit GTINs for carton identification, use the “ITF-14” barcode type.

Bearer boxes and bearer bars are a common feature. Bearer boxes are thick lines above, below, and to the sides of the symbol and bearer bars are just above and below. They help with the printing process and prevent misreads for barcodes read at an angle.

What data can Interleaved 2 of 5 encode?

Interleaved 2 of 5 encodes numeric data only, and the digit count must be even because pairs of digits are interleaved together. It is compact, which makes it well suited to fixed-length numeric identifiers.

When should I use ITF-14 instead?

ITF-14 is a standardized Interleaved 2 of 5 symbol dedicated to encoding a 14-digit GTIN on cases and cartons. If you are marking shipping units with a GTIN-14, use the ITF-14 type so the size, check digit, and bearer bars follow the GS1 specification.

JPG or EPS for an I2of5 barcode?

Use the free JPG only for on-screen review. For scannable labels, download the vector EPS, which stays precise at any size and includes the correct bar width reduction for print.
