UPC Bar Codes

Virtually all products sold in North America use the UPC-A bar code (or UPC-E, which is just a smaller version of UPC-A). You can not make up a UPC-A bar code number, you must pay the Uniform Code Council a fee and they assign you your UPC code. (That's why no two products will ever have the same UPC code.) You can find out more by contacting the Uniform Code Council at: http://www.uc-council.org UPC-A is a fixed length bar code that always contains 12 digits. The first 6 or more digits are assigned by the Uniform Code Council. The remaining five digits are used to identify a product. The last digit is a checksum. The UPC-E bar code is a shortened version of UPC-A to use when space is not available for the standard UPC-A code. Encodes: Numeric Only Length: Fixed Length, 12 or 7 digits Checksum: Required UPC bar codes may be read from either either direction. UPC-A bar codes must always be about 1.5 inches in length. The height may vary, but not the width.
