About these barcodes
- UPC-A is the 12-digit barcode on most US products. The last digit is a check digit calculated from the other 11.
- UPC-E is the short 8-digit version used on small packages like soda cans. It is the same product number with zeros removed, so
04963406and049000006346scan as the same item. - Size: 100% is the standard bar width (0.013 in per thinnest bar). Very short bars, like on 1/2-inch Avery 5167 labels, may not scan on every scanner. Print one sheet and test it with your register before printing many.
- Downloads: SVG files are vector and print sharp at any size. PNG files are 4 pixels per bar width, white background.
