Shipping Container Code is also known as U.P.C. Shipping Container Code, SCC-14, or GTIN-14. It is a 14-digit number used to mark cartons, pallets, and shipping cases.
SCC-14 is most widely implemented by GS1128. Meanwhile, people can also use ITF-14 to implement scc-14.
ITF-14 means using ‘Interleaved 2of5’ barcode with 14-digits number.
When you use ITF-14 (Interleaved 2of5) to implement SCC-14 barcode, you need one-digit Packaging Indicator, 2-digits UPC numbering system, 5-digits Manufacturer Identification Number, 5-digit item number. The last digit is the check-digit.
Packaging Indicator can be one of the following values:
0 means UPC code on the shipping case differs from what’s inside.
1 to 7 is used to show the packaging level.
8 is reserved for future use.
9 means variable quantity shipment.
The lines around the barcode are bearer-bars. People use them to make sure no part is missing when they scan the barcode.
For example, you want to turn a UPC-A (032886673184) into ITF-14 ‘Shipping-Container-Code’.
Please remove the check digit “4” first. Then add 1 in the front as the packaging indicator. Next, add a zero to make it 14-digits in total length.
Now, your Master Carton Code is 1003288667318.
After calculating checksum, you get a check digit 1.
Therefore, your Master Carton Code is 10032886673181.
