Image ITF 14.svg thumb right ITF 14 is the GS1 implementation of an Interleaved 2 of 5 bar code to encode a Global Trade Item Number . ITF 14 symbols are generally used on packaging levels of a product, such as a case box of 24 cans of soup. The ITF 14 will always encode 14 digits. GS1 GEPIR tool can be used to find out the company identification for a given GTIN 14 that is encoded in ITF 14 Symbol. The thick black border around the symbol is called the Bearer Bar. The purpose of a Bearer Bar is to equalise the pressure exerted by the printing plate over the entire surface of the symbol, and to enhance reading reliability by helping to reduce the probability of misreads or short scans that may occur when a skewed scanning beam enters or exits the bar code symbol through its top or bottom edge.
