UPC-A Example

UPC-E

To allow the use of UPC barcodes on smaller packages where a full 12-digit barcode may not fit, a

'zero-compressed' version of UPC was developed called UPC-E. This symbology differs from UPC-A in

that it only uses a 6-digit code, does not use middle guard bars, and the end bit pattern (E) becomes

010101. The way in which a 6-digit UPC-E relates to a 12-digit UPC-A is determined by the last (right-

hand most) digit.

UPC-E Example

1 2 ... 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 ... 204 205
