Bulk ITF-14 Generator for Carton Boxes

When shipping products in bulk, you need a barcode on the outer carton. The **ITF-14** (Interleaved 2 of 5) barcode is the global standard for this purpose. Our Bulk Barcode Generator helps you create hundreds of these barcodes from a simple data file.

Why Use ITF-14 for Cartons?

ITF-14 is a high-density, numeric-only barcode that encodes a 14-digit GTIN (Global Trade Item Number). Its structure, including the thick "bearer bars" around it, makes it highly tolerant of poor printing quality, which is common on corrugated cardboard surfaces. It's designed for scanning in a warehouse, not at a retail point-of-sale.

Step 1: Prepare Your 14-Digit GTINs

Your data should be in a CSV or Excel (`.xlsx`) file. You'll need a column containing your 14-digit carton codes. The first row must be a header, like `ITF14_Code`.

ITF14_Code 10812345678902 20812345678909

Step 2: Configure Your ITF-14 Label

Navigate to the Bulk Barcode Generator and upload your file.

1. Set Label Size: Define the area for your barcode.
2. Add Barcode: Add a barcode element and choose ITF from the format list.
3. Link Data: Link the barcode's value to your `ITF14_Code` column.

Step 3: Generate Your Carton Barcodes

Click "Generate & Download" and choose your desired format. For printing labels, PDF is ideal. For incorporating into other designs, use PNGs (ZIP).
