If you are only using barcodes for your own internal use, you will not need a UPC number, but the minute a product is sold in the retail marketplace, it HAS to have a UPC code! The manufacturer pays an annual fee for the privilege. In return, the UCC issues the manufacturer a six-digit manufacturer identification number and provides guidelines on how to use it. You can see the manufacturer identification number in any standard 12-digit UPC code.
There are two types of UPC Barcodes
- UPC Type A (UPCA)
- UPC Type E (UPCE)
UPC-A symbols consist of 11 data digits and one check digit. The first digit is a number system digit that normally represents the type of product being identified. The following 5 digits are a manufacturer’s code and the next 5 digits are used to identify a specific product.
UPC-E is a smaller seven digit UPC symbology for number system 0. It is often used for small retail items. For UPC-E barcodes, you normally specify 6 digits and let your barcode printing software calculate the seventh check digit for you.
