ITF (Interleaved 2 of 5) barcode generator

ITF — Interleaved 2 of 5 — is a compact, numbers-only barcode that tolerates the rough printing found on corrugated cardboard. It is a familiar sight on shipping cartons, pallets, and warehouse labels.

About this tool

Matching Sox Codes encodes any even-length string of digits as ITF and tells you right away if the value has letters or an odd number of digits. The barcode is drawn on your device; nothing is uploaded.

Free, no signup, no watermark. Processing happens on your device in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

How to do it

  1. Open the barcode generator with ITF (shipping) selected.
  2. Enter digits only. ITF encodes digits in pairs, so the count must be even — add a leading zero if needed.
  3. Make the bars taller and wider for cardboard, where ink spreads.
  4. Choose whether to show the digits under the bars.
  5. Download SVG for your label template or PNG for quick printing.
  6. Scan a printed test before labelling a whole shipment.

Good to know

  • Interleaved 2 of 5 pairs digits: the first digit of each pair is encoded in the bars, the second in the spaces. That is why it needs an even number of digits.
  • This generator encodes your digits exactly as entered and does not calculate a check digit. If you are making a GTIN-14 carton code, enter all 14 digits including the check digit from your GS1 number.
  • Bearer bars (the frame some ITF-14 labels print around the code) are not added.
