1. ITF-14 Barcode Introduction
ITF-14 is also known as UPC
Shipping Container Symbol ITF-14, ITF14, Case Code, UPC Case Code, EAN/UCC-14,
EAN-14, UCC-14, DUN-14, GTIN-14
The ITF-14 or UPC Shipping Container Symbol is used to mark cartons, cases, or pallets that contain products which have a UPC or EAN product identification number. The short-hand name for the symbol is "ITF-14", which is an acronym for "Interleaved 2 of 5" (the Barcode Symbology used) and 14 digits (the length of the container symbol).
The ITF-14 or UPC Shipping Container Symbol is used to mark cartons, cases, or pallets that contain products which have a UPC or EAN product identification number. The short-hand name for the symbol is "ITF-14", which is an acronym for "Interleaved 2 of 5" (the Barcode Symbology used) and 14 digits (the length of the container symbol).
The ITF-14 symbol has the following structure:
- 1 digit for Packaging indicator
- 2 digits for UPC numbering system or EAN prefix
- 5 digits for Manufacturer identification number
- 5 digits for Item identification number
- 1 digit for Checksum which is automatically calculated by Java Barcode
The value to encode passed to Java Barcode must be 13
digits only because the 14th digit (the checksum) is automatically calculated
by Java Barcode.

2. ITF-14 Encoding Data Scope
ITF14 Barcode for Java supports.
- 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
3. How to Generate ITF-14 Barcode in Java Class?
The following Java code illustrates how to create a ITF-14 barcode, and output to various formats
1 Linear linear = new Linear();
2 linear.setType(Linear.ITF14);
3 linear.setData("01540014128876");
4 linear.renderBarcode("c:/barcode.gif");
5 BufferedImage bufferedImage = linear.renderBarcode();
6 byte[] barcodeBytes = linear.renderBarcodeToBytes();
7 Graphics2D g = ...
8 Rectangle2D rectangle = ...
9 linear.renderBarcode(g, rectangle);
10 OutputStream outputStream = ...
11 linear.renderBarcode(outputStream);
- Create a Linear barcode object (line 1)
- Set Linear object barcode type to ITF-14 (line 2)
- Set ITF-14 barcode data to encode (line 3)
- Encode generated ITF-14 barcode into gif image file (line 4)
- Generate ITF-14 and output to BufferedImage object (line 5)
- Generate ITF-14 in bitmap and output to byte[] (line 6)
- Generate ITF-14 and draw to defined area (Rectangle2D) on Graphics2D (line 7-9)
- Generate ITF-14 and output to OutputStream (line 10-11)
4. How to Generate ITF-14 Barcode Image in Java Web Applications?
There are two methods to create ITF-14 barcode images in your Java web applications.
-
The simplest way is to stream barcode image using our buildin barcode servlet application.
- Download the Barcode for Java Trial Package, and unzip it.
- Under java_barcode_trial package, copy barcode folder to your java servlet container like tomcat.
- Restart tomcat. Now you have installed successfully.
- To test your installation, open your web browser and navigate to
http://YourDomain:Port/barcode/linear?Data=01540014128876&Type=ITF14 - To create barcode image in your JSP or html page, you need pass the url to IMG tag src value.
For example,
<img src="http://YourDomain:Port/barcode/linear?Data=01540014128876&Type=ITF14" />
Using this method, it will not generate any barcode images in your server side.
-
The second method is to generate barcode images in your server side
-
Create a barcode image in server side
1 Linear linear = new Linear(); 2 linear.setData("01540014128876"); 3 linear.setType(Linear.ITF14); 4 linear.renderBarcode("C:/Tools/Tomcat 5.5/webapps/YourWebApp/barcode-images/barcode.gif");
-
In your JSP or HTML page, you need use IMG tag to display generated image, like
<img src="http://YourDomain:Port/YourWebApp/barcode-images/barcode.gif" />
-
Create a barcode image in server side

6. ITF-14 Barcode Property Settings
-
Set the type property to Linear.ITF14
Servlet URL Parameter: "Type". Value: 18. Sample: &Type=18 -
Set the data property with the value to encode. Type is String.
- Valid Data Scope:
- 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
- Valid Data Format:
13 digits. There are totally 14 digits in ITF-14 barcode, first 13 digits are barcode value, and last digit is the checksum digit, which is generated by barcode library automatically. - Sample: "3011234500001"
- Valid Data Scope:
- addCheckSum property is not applied here. Barcode Library will always add a check character in the last digit.
-
Set N property, Wide bar vs Narrow bar ratio. Valid values are from 2.0f to 3.0f, inclusive.
Default is 2.0f.
Servlet URL Parameter: N. Sample: &N=3 -
Set bearerBar property, if you want to draw borders around ITF-14 barcode image.
Valid values are: Linear.BEARERBAR_NONE=0 (no bear bars), Linear.BEARERBAR_FRAME=1 (top, bottom, left, right borders drawn), Linear.BEARERBAR_TOPBOTTOM=2 (only top, bottom's are drawn).
Default is BEARERBAR_NONE
Servlet URL Parameter: BearerBar. Sample: &BearerBar=1 -
Barcode image size settings:
-
Set property uom (Unit of Measure) for properties X, Y, leftMargin, rightMargin, topMargin and bottomMargin.
Default is Linear.UOM_PIXEL (0). Valid values are Linear.UOM_PIXEL (0), Linear.UOM_CM (1), Linear.UOM_Inch (2).

Set the X (for barcode module width) and Y (for barcode module height) properties.
Both types are float. Default X is 3. Y is 75.
