UPC-A Barcode

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

Font representing UPC (Universal Product Code) Barcode.

About UPC:

UPC has the following formatting: ZnnnnnnYNNNNNNZ; where:

Z - start/end guard bar
Y - midlle guard bar
n - digit from the first 6 numbers the code
N - digit from the last 6 numbers of the code

How to use:

You'll have to convert your 12 digit code into 15 strings:

first you type the start guard bar: Z
first 6 numbers of your code, written as usual: 0 ... 9
the middle guard bar:Y
last 6 numbers of your code, using uppercase symbols: ), !, @, #, $, %, ^, &, *, (
the end guard bar: Z

Example:

Barcode: 256015 495837
Type in: Z256015Y$(%*#&Z

Please Note:

~~the horizontal lines above and below the vertical bars are there only to ensure proper spacing between bars. You might want to remove that, although it won't interfere with barscanners.~~
there should be no space between the characters, fontsruct generates them this way. You'll have to compensate.(corrected thanks to thalamic)

Update (03. Apr '09):

With Kerning support added to fontstruct, no more horizontal bars are needed. I shall update the tutorial illustration as well.
