ITF (Interleaved-2-of-5)

Interleaved-2-of-5 is a variable-length linear symbology that is used primarily in logistics and retail and encodes an even number of numerical characters.

A sample Interleaved-2-of-5 barcode is shown below.

ITF-14

ITF-14 is a GS1 subset of Interleaved-2-of-5 which encodes a GTIN-14.

The sample barcode below encodes a 14-digit GTIN and shows the horizontal and vertical bearer bars surrounding the barcode that are required for ITF-14.

Sample ITF-14 barcode

If you are scanning ITF-14 barcodes exclusively, set the minimum and maximum length to 14 to avoid short scans.

const config = { engine: { symbologies: [ { name: "i25", minLen: 14, maxLen: 14 } ] } }
