A U.P.C. Bar Code Symbol is a pattern of
black bars with white spaces below which are
numbers. The numbers are encoded in the symbol
and uniquely identify the product.
This
group of numbers is referred to as a Global
Trade Item Number (GTIN). The symbol is read by
scanners in retail stores to capture the GTIN,
which is used in conjunction with computer
systems to track sales and product orders. The
GTIN in a U.P.C. Bar Code Symbol is always
12-digits in length.
