UPC-A barcode is everywhere today.
Retailers use ‘Universal Product Code’ (UPC) to
identify products in store. The same products being sold at different
retail stores share the same UPC.
The leading digit of a UPC is called “number
system”. Next five digits of a UPC are called “manufacturer code”. Then
another five digits are called “Product Code”. The last digit is a check
digit.
A UPCA barcode encodes 11 digits of numbers plus
a check digit. UPC-A can be considered being a subset of EAN13 with the
first number system digit set to zero.
What UPC-A encodes is also called GTIN12.
UPCE encodes eight digit data plus a check digit. What UPCE encodes is also called GTIN8.
Here is the mapping table of UPC-A barcode font
Character | Mapping | Character | Mapping |
Start | [ | Stop | ] |
Supplement Start | { | Supplement Stop | } |
Central Guard | | | Supplement Separator | \ |
Text Only | 0xE0 - 0xE9 | UPCE Stop Character | ' |
Lefthand B with HR | PQWERTYUIO | Lefthand B without HR | pqwertyuio |
Righthand with HR | :ASDFGHJKL | Righthand without HR | ;asdfghjkl |
Lefthand A with HR above | /zxcvbnm,. | Lefthand B with HR above | ?ZXCVBNM<> |
Lefthand A with HR below | 0123456789 | Lefthand A without HR below | ~!#&40;#$%^&*(<> |
UPC-A needs to append a check digit at the rear of data.
If you use Barcodesoft UPCA fonts to print bar
code, please use our Encoder to calculate the check digit for you. You
can also find source code in VBA and C language.

UpcEanM means ‘medium aspect ratio’.
