UPC-E
In addition to the requirement that
the first digit of the barcode (number system) must be zero, there
are four rules that determine what UPC codes can be printed using
the compressed UPC-E format:
- If the last 3 digits of the
manufacturer's number are 000, 100, or 200, the valid product code
numbers are 00000 - 00999 (1,000 numbers).
- If the last 3 digits of the
manufacturer's number are 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, or 900,
the valid product code numbers are 00000 - 00099 (100 numbers).
- If the last 2 digits in the
manufacturer's number are 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, or 90,
the valid product code numbers are 00000 - 00009 (10 numbers).
- If the manufacturer's number does
not end in zero, the valid product code numbers are 00005 - 00009
(5 numbers).
Uses:
UPC-E is used for marking products which are sold at retail in the
USA. UPC-E are used for labeling small items.
