UPC Barcode Labels

Barcode Information
+
What is a UPC Number?
A UPC is used for marking products that are sold at retail outlets in the USA. The barcode identifies the manufacturer and specific product so point-of-sale systems can automatically look up the price. The UPC is a 12-digit numeric code. Each product must have a separate UPC number for identification.
Can I just make up a UPC number?
Each retail product must have it's own unique UPC number, including the same product but in different sizes, colors, styles, flavors, etc.
If you make up a number, you might be using a number assigned to a completely different product. Therefore, you must purchase numbers through a vendor such as GS1.org or EZ UPC.
The only exception is if you are selling your product(s) within your own four walls and not through any other vendors. In that case, you can make up your number, but the first number must be a 4, followed by 10 more digits and the check digit. The check digit is the 12th digit and is calculated via an algorithm. If needed, our software can calculate the 12th digit for you.

What is a check digit on a UPC code?
A check digit is the 12th digit on a UPC code, and is computed by an algorithm based upon the first 11 digits in the sequence. If needed, we can calculate your check digit(s).
Where do I get a UPC number ?
The source for your UPC number depends upon where you will be selling your product. Many larger retailers require their vendors to only obtain their UPC numbers from GS1. GS1 is a non-profit organization that sells UPC numbers. They can be contacted at www.gs1.org or 937-435-3870.
WePrintBarcodes.com also recommends EZ UPC as another reliable source for UPC numbers. They are an economical and reliable source for UPC numbers from one to thousands. They can be contacted at https://ezupc.com or 307-217-5352.
Contact the retail outlets where you will be selling your product to find out if they require a UPC code from GS1.org.

As a reminder, the size of the font and amount of text that will fit on a label and be readable is dependent upon the overall size of the label.

I can't decide between sew-on or iron-on labels.

- Product size
- Label size
- Where on the product the label will be applied
- Environmental conditions
- Vendor requirements
Typically, if you have the ability to sew a tag on at the time of manufacture or production, this is the preferred method. Our sew-on tags have a "sew line" which provides guidance for sewing into a hem or seam.
If you don't have the ability to sew on a tag, our iron-on labels are the perfect solution. With a standard home iron, you can affix the barcode in any non-visible location.
Both our sew-on tags and iron-on labels will withstand many washings and are guaranteed to scan.

The QR codes are capable of storing a lot of data. Initially, they were used in marketing and advertising campaigns to direct viewers to websites. Today, they can contain information to any number of items, places, etc. For example, information about the item to which they are applied, restaurant menus, links to locations, contact information, videos, social media, etc.
Although QR codes were initially square, they can be found today in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors.

What can a QR Code do?
In it's simplest sense think "print based hypertext link" - simply encode a URL into the QR Code and then point a mobile phone (or other camera-enabled mobile) at it. If the device has had QR Code decoding software installed on it, it will fire up its browser and go straight to that URL. But it doesn't stop there - Look at all the things you can do with a QR Code:

Barcode Information

What is a GS1-14/SCC-14 Case Code Label?
The GS1-14, EAN/UCC-14 (also called SCC-14, DUN-14 or U.P.C. Shipping Container Code), is a 14-digit number assigned to fixed-content shipping containers. SCC-14 can have two types of barcode representations. A common representation is UCC/EAN-128 format, with an Application Identifier (AI) of 01. ITF-14, which is based on Interleaved 2 of 5, is also frequently used.
A SCC-14 number consists of 14 digits that begin with an indicator digit and end with a check digit. The check digit is calculated according to the UCC/EAN algorithm (same as UPC/EAN check digit). Note: This check digit is usually not the same as the check digit in a UPC-A or EAN-13 number, unless the package indicator is 0.
All of our custom GS1-14/SCC-14 and UCC/EAN 128 barcode labels are generated in accordance with GS1 Specifications and then verified to ensure proper scanning.

What is the data format for a GS1-14/ SCC-14 Shipping Label?
A GS1-14,SCC-14 Shipping Label contains the following information:
- Digit 1: Package Indicator (PI) - The first digit, Package Indicator (PI), indicates package variant. For example, you package the same product into two different cases with one case containing 10 items and the other containing 12. You assign 1 for the first case and 2 for the second. However, there is no standard mandating that how many items should be placed in the case for PI=1. The quantity is checked against the database.
In two cases, you may assign PI=0. One case is to indicate that the item number identifying the container is different from the item number on the units inside the container. The other case is when the container contains one unit of the item. When stored in the database, a 12-digit UPC or 13-digit EAN code are stored into a 14-digit numeric format. The 14-digit is identical to the SCC-14 with PI=0.
- Digits 2-3: UPC numbering system/EAN country prefix. (GS1 country prefix)
- Digits 4-8: GS1 Company Prefix (can be longer)
- Item identification number
- Digit 14: Check digit

What is a UCC/EAN Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC)?
The serial shipping container code (SSCC) is a 20-digit number used to identify logistics units. The SSCC is encoded in a barcode, generally GS1-128, and used in electronic commerce transactions.
The SSCC comprises an extension digit, a GS1 company prefix, a serial reference, and a check digit.
The SSCC is commonly used in advance ship notice (ASN) EDI transactions.

Barcode Information
+
Are your UDI labels FDA Compliant?
Yes. We print Class I, II, and III UDI barcode labels that are printed to your specifications, and are FDA Compliant.
Where do I go to get my UDI?
The UDI number is a unique numeric or alphanumeric code. It includes a device identifier (DI), which is specific to a device model, and may include a production identifier (PI). The production identifier includes the current production information for that specific device, such as the lot or batch number, the serial number, expiration date or a combination.
The first step in UDI compliance is to contact one of the three issuing agencies to be assigned a UDI number.
The three issuing agencies are:
- GS1 - Global Standards - GTIN - (937) 435-3870
- HIBCC - Health Industry Business Communications Council - (602) 381-1091
- ICCBBA - International Council for Commonality in Blood Banking Automation - (909) 793-6516
Once you have been assigned your UDI number, it is the manufacturers responsibility to go to FDA website and maintain your data in the FDA GUDID (Global Unique Device Identification Database) - Medical Devices | FDA - https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices.

Label Material
+
What type of label material do you recommend for FDA UDI barcode labels?
Our standard high quality paper label is perfect for most uses. However, certain applications require a synthetic label. Synthetic labels are useful for many applications because the label is water and weatherproof. In addition. synthetic labels don't have a "memory" like paper labels so they are perfect for application on a curved surface.
Synthetic labels are also perfect in an industrial or harsh environment.
We use polypropylene synthetic labels. The finest quality you can purchase.
If your application will be subjected to moisture or chemicals, we suggest printing your UDI barcode labels on our synthetic polypropylene stock.

What are the advantages of self-laminating cable and wire labels?
Our self-laminating labels include a clear lamination panel that wraps around and over the printed area to protect the printed data from abrasion, heat, and chemicals.
Should I choose rat-tail or self-laminating labels?
Many times, either of these products will solve your cable, wire, or conduit labeling needs. However, if the label is going to be subjected to abrasion, we suggest our self-laminating label. Our rat-tail label is perfectly suited to those situations where the "tab" of the rat tail might be more easily read or scanned since it projects off of the cable.
Do you have any other labels that will work for labeling wire, cable, or conduit?
Yes! We also have our popular rat-tail labels for marking cables and wires. The polyester rat-tail label is especially popular for server rooms and IT marking.
Do my labels have to have a barcode?
Absolutely not! We can print any sequence or data on our cable labeling products. And if you need us to print from your data, we offer a variety of data services, including:
- Data and sequence construction
- Data management
- Data conversion
- Data manipulation
- Check digit calculations

Label Sizes
+
What size label should I use for self-laminating?
Selecting the proper size label is critical to the success of your cable/wire labeling solution. When using our self-laminating labels, you should consider two factors. First, consider what you need printed on the label. If you are printing a large number of digits or text, consider the size of the printing area.
The second factor to consider is the diameter of the cable or wire you are marking.
For a better view of the printable and lamination area and overall size of the labels, click on the "View Larger Diagram" link on the Wire/Cable/Conduit tab on our website.

Barcode Verification Information

Do I need to have every barcode verified?
Some companies require barcode verification and impose huge penalties for failed barcodes. Four main groups of organizations that require verification are:
- Many large retailers require suppliers to provide verification reports on their UPC and shipping container codes.
- Suppliers to major manufacturers often require barcode verification.
- Medical Device manufacturers are required by the FDA to provide verification reports on all medical device UDI barcodes.
- Suppliers to the Department of Defense (DOD) must conform to strict MIL-STD-130 barcode requirements.

- Medical Device manufacturers are required by the FDA to provide verification reports on all medical device UDI barcodes.
- Suppliers to the Department of Defense (DOD) must conform to strict MIL-STD-130 barcode requirements.
Do you verify every barcode you print?
We scan every barcode to ensure they can be scanned, but we do not run a verification unless requested. The cost for verification depends upon if the verification is 1D or 2D.
What does verification measure?
Verification measures the quality of a 1D barcode or 2D symbol by comparing what the verifier sees to the physical characteristics of an ideal, high-quality code. This comparison is made using agreed-upon barcode quality parameters (regarding a code's expected shape, skew, contrast, element size, and more). These parameters are regulated by barcode quality standards organizations (like ISO) and are intended to make sure the barcode will be able to be read on the first attempt every time, regardless of what reader is used.
Verification ensures long-term readability and alerts users of specific defects in codes so the necessary adjustments can be made.

Is there a cost to have a barcode verified?
Yes, there is a cost for 1D and 2D verification. The cost is higher for a 2D verification.

Can I do the verification myself?
The decision to invest in barcode verification equipment will depend on many factors. How often you need to verify a code, whether you are verifying 1D or 2D codes, whether you will need ongoing verification, or if it's a relatively infrequent need.
Using WePrintBarCodes.com's verification service can many times eliminate a significant investment in testing equipment. Contact a barcode expert at WePrintBarCodes.com and we can consult with you to find the best option.

What is the difference between a 1D and 2D barcode?
The symbology determines if a barcode is 1-dimensional (1D) or 2-dimensional (2D).
For example, a 12-digit UPC barcode used in retail is a 1D. So are codes 128 and 39. Those are comprised of just numbers or numbers and letters. The codes are put into a database that contains information about that barcode. Think of it like the license plate on a car. The license plate doesn't contain any information - just numbers and letters. All of the information related to that license plate is contained in the Department of Motor Vehicle's database.
By contrast, a QR code (Quick Response) is a 2D barcode and all of the information is contained with that code. Oftentimes, QR codes contain URLs to direct the viewer to a specific website. other data.
