Using a unit-level code unchanged
A shipping case can require a distinct packaging-level GTIN rather than a visual copy of the consumer unit symbol.
Confirm packaging hierarchy and assignment in the product data system.
ITF-14 barcode generator
Generate ITF-14 artwork for a shipping case workflow
ITF-14 represents a fourteen-digit GTIN and is often used on outer packaging. BatchLabel calculates or verifies the final digit, exposes bearer-bar treatment and helps preserve an even module structure when the symbol is placed on a case label.

How to use it
- 01
Confirm the case GTIN
Use the fourteen-digit identifier assigned for the packaging level, including its indicator digit.
- 02
Validate the final digit
Enter thirteen data digits to calculate or the complete fourteen to verify.
- 03
Configure the printed symbol
Preserve bearer bars, quiet zones and module ratio, then test the actual corrugated or label stock.
Avoid rework
Common errors and precise fixes
Scaling bars fractionally
Non-integer raster scaling can produce uneven narrow/wide elements.
Prefer vector output or an integer module width at the printer's target DPI.
Know the limits
The page does not assign case-level GTINs or determine packaging hierarchy.
Bearer-bar and magnification choices require validation against the actual print process.
Questions, answered
Before you continue
Why does ITF-14 use bearer bars?
They help control printing pressure and reduce certain partial-scan errors. Their required form depends on the printing method and applicable specification.
Can I print ITF-14 directly on corrugated material?
BatchLabel creates artwork, but direct-print quality depends on substrate and process. Work with the printer and applicable GS1 guidance, and grade a production sample where required.
