The Universal Product Code number is the unique 12 digit identification of an individual consumer product. |
|
The entire UPC number includes a six digit manufacturer number assigned by the Uniform Code Council. The first of these six digits is referred to as the number system character. This six digit field is followed by a five digit item number assigned by the owner/controller of the product label. The 12th and final digit is a check character, automatically computed and added to the code by Bar Code Master suppliers. |
