Free ITF Barcode Generator

Create an ITF barcode image for numeric warehouse, carton, case, batch, and internal labels. Enter a numbers-only value with an even number of digits, generate the barcode in your browser, then download PNG, SVG, or BMP.

Generate a sample ITF barcode

The generator opens with a numeric sample and creates the barcode automatically. Replace the sample with your own value before downloading.

When to use ITF

Use ITF when your scanner, inventory system, carton label, or packaging workflow specifically expects Interleaved 2 of 5 / ITF-style numeric barcodes. It is best for compact numeric identifiers, not general text labels.

If the label needs letters, dashes, spaces, SKUs, part numbers, bin locations, or work-order IDs, use the Code 128 barcode generator instead.

Valid ITF examples

12345678 for a short internal numeric label.
000123456789 for a longer warehouse or case reference.
12345678901234 for a 14-digit numeric packaging-style value.
Use digits only, with an even number of digits.

Common ITF mistakes

Entering letters, hyphens, spaces, or SKU text. ITF is numeric only.
Using an odd number of digits. ITF encodes digit pairs, so BarcodeLabeler requires even-length values.
Using ITF for a label that would be easier to manage as Code 128.
Printing the barcode too narrow for a long numeric value, then stretching it in design software.

Printing and download tips

Use SVG for reusable carton-label artwork or label-design software.
Use PNG or BMP for quick test prints and simple office documents.
Keep clear blank space on both sides of the bars so scanners can locate the symbol.
Print one proof at the final label size and scan it before making a full run.

Frequently asked questions

What values can an ITF barcode encode?

ITF encodes numbers only, and BarcodeLabeler validates ITF values as an even number of digits. Use Code 128 if your label needs letters, dashes, spaces, or mixed text.

Is ITF the same as ITF-14?

ITF is the barcode symbology. ITF-14 is a common 14-digit packaging and carton-use pattern built on Interleaved 2 of 5. This page can generate numeric ITF images, but you should use the exact number required by your inventory or packaging workflow.

When should I use ITF instead of Code 128?

Use ITF when your workflow expects numeric-only Interleaved 2 of 5 labels. Use Code 128 for most internal SKU, bin, part, and asset labels because it supports mixed text and is usually more flexible.

Why does my ITF value fail validation?

The most common causes are letters, punctuation, spaces, or an odd number of digits. ITF pairs digits together, so enter numbers only and use an even-length value.
