Guideline to how to print Barcodes on your products
1. First Identify and assign the respective barcode numbers to the products.
2. Once you are applying the Barcode onto the product label make sure it is placed
in a visible location
3. The global standard to print a Barcode is that it should be printed in
Black on a White background.
4. If you are to place the barcode on an oval shaped package (Bottles/Round
Containers) the barcode should be printed as shown below. If this measurement
is not applied, the barcode will not be identified.
GS1 GTIN Standards to Print
5.2.1.2. EAN-13 Symbol

X-dimension at target size: 0.330 mm
Note: Barcode height does not include Human Readable Interpretation or extended
height of guard bars.
Note: Minimum sizes are stated only for retail POS
5.2.1.3. UPC-A Symbol

For companies wishing to print the barcode directly on the carton, particularly on corrugated cardboard,
the ITF-14 Symbol is more suitable because the printing requirements are less demanding. Pre-printing
or direct print by thermal transfer or ink-jet may be possible.
These symbols may be used to represent the GTIN when there is no need to provide any extra
information such as the product’s best before date, net weight or serial number. These symbols were
introduced to help users print scannable barcodes directly onto corrugate packaging as they are larger
than EAN/UPC symbols and have a simpler pattern of bars and spaces that is easier for scanners to
decode.
The range of sizes allowed for an outer case is from an x-dimension of 0.495 mm to 1.016 mm (equal to
magnifications of 48.7% to 100%). The smallest size may only be used on labels, so if corrugated
packaging is being used, a size of at least 62.5% must be used.
Whichever size of symbol is used, the height of the bars must be at least 32 mm, as this makes
scanning the barcodes much easier.
Note: This diagram is not intended for use as a basis for measurement.
Dimensions below do not include the bearer bar:
Min. size (50%): 71.40 mm x 12.70 mm
Max. size (100%): 142.75 mm x 32.00 mm
Target dimensions: 142.75 mm x 32.00 mm
X-dimension at target size: 1.016 mm
Note: Minimum sizes are stated only for retail general distribution applications.
To ensure efficient reading in any environment, including conveyorised scanning, ITF-14 symbols
shall be printed close to 100% magnification, with a minimum of 50%.
