| What is a Master Carton Code? | |
| A Master Carton Code, a 14-digit barcode placed on the outside of your shipping carton or pallet, allows your retailer to scan your shipment of multiple units of your product as it comes into their warehouse. Used in most retail situations, a Master Carton Code may also be referred to as an SCC-14, GTIN-14, ITF-14, or Shipping Container Code. All these terms describe the same 14-digit barcode which is created in the Interleaved 2 of 5 (ITF) symbology. |

|
| How are Barcodes for Master Cartons different? | ||||||||
| The SCC-14 is used to CHECK IN your shipments of multiple units of your product at the retailer’s warehouse. The EAN barcode is a 13-digit unique code for your product that allows retailers to CHECK OUT your individual units of product at the register. |
||||||||
|
||||||||
|
||||||||
| Do I really need a Master Carton Code (SCC-14)? | |
| Yes, the common method by which your retailer scans your product shipments into inventory is the SCC-14 or Master Carton Code. Additionally, distributors use them to scan receipt of shipments. | |
|
|
| What if I do not have an EAN number for my product? | ||||||
| ATTENTION: You need to order your EAN code first and then order the corresponding graphic. | ||||||
|

| How do Barcodes for Master Carton work? | |
| Master Carton Codes (also known as SCC-14) appear as lines (bars) of varying widths representing the series of numbers commonly shown below the bars. Barcode scanners read the bars and convert them back to the 14-digit Master Carton Code that they represent. When you reach an agreement with a retailer to carry your product(s), they request the information required by their unique proprietary sales and inventory tracking systems. Your 14-digit Master Carton Code, when scanned identifies the container of goods with your company. |
|
|
|
| What if I have multiple items with different EAN codes within one box? | |
| Let’s assume that you pack 10 units of item A and 10 units of item B into a master carton. This is referred to as a Mixed Master Carton. Often this comes in the form of a mixed carton or mixed palette. Mixed Master Cartons are a special case. They require a specific starting digit (called a package level indicator) and require their own unique base EAN code. You MAY NOT use the EAN from an actual item inside of the box as the base for the master carton code for a mixed master carton. If you are unclear about this requirement, please call us at +1-404-869-0701 for further explanation. | |

Note that Master Carton Codes can only be printed on large labels.
