Carton Information

Description

Example /Tips

Carton Number

 

N..14

M

This is the bar code symbol on the shipping carton.

It is recommended to use ITF-14.  However, EAN-13, UPC-12 codes are also acceptable.

 

Note: The DOS-acquisition software will automatically generate an ITF-14 carton number.  This is done by taking out the check digit of the EAN-13 of the product, add a logistical variant (a number from zero to nine) in front and the check digit will be calculated including the logistical variant according         to the check digit algorithm.

         

          Logistical variants are allocated at the discretion of the company.  They are used to create an unique ITF-14 number which distinguishes between different packaging levels of the same item.  This option is only available when the items within the non-retail item are carrying the same EAN-13 number.

 

         For instance, if a company has different levels of packaging or different pack size in a shipping carton,

         A carton of 12 pcs

         A carton of 24 pcs

         A carton of 24 pcs

         A carton of 36 pcs

         In this case, the 1st digit of the ITF-14 carton code will be represented by 1 for carton with 12 pcs, 2 for carton with 24 pcs and 3 for carton with 36 pcs.

 

         In cases where an EAN-13 or UPC-12 barcode is used for carton, upon entering the EAN-13 barcode, additional zero are automatically appended in front of the EAN-13 or UPC-12 barcode to reflect a 14-digit         carton barcode.

        

         In the event where your company have already created an ITF-14 digit carton code, please overwrite the ITF-14 carton code generated by the software by entering         your existing carton code.       

Eg : Product with EAN-13 barcode

        888 8247 13411 3

 

       ITF-14 carton code for the above will be stored in NEPC as

 

a)      Carton with 12 pcs

1 888 8247 13411 0

 

b)      Carton with 24 pcs

2 888 8247  13411 7

 

c)      Carton with 36 pcs

3 888 8247 13411 4

 

       EAN-13 carton code for the above will be stored in NEPC as

 

       0 888 8247 13411 3

 

If you have any queries, please contact SANC at Tel: 3311535.

 

 

Note: Please refer to the appended document on Understanding EAN Code for details on how to compute the carton code based on the availability of EAN Code
