  • UPC-E takes 6, 7 or 8 digits, or a 12-digit UPC-A that can be compressed.
  • This barcode is valid and will scan. It is only a registered product code if GS1 licensed the number to you (or your brand owner assigned it). Retailers and marketplaces such as Amazon check numbers against GS1's database; made-up numbers are rejected there.

Questions about UPC-E barcodes

What is UPC-E?

A UPC-A with the zeros squeezed out, so it fits on small packages. Only numbers with the right zero pattern can be compressed.

Can any UPC be made into UPC-E?

No. The number system must be 0 or 1 and the zeros must sit in specific positions. The generator says so if yours cannot.

Do scanners read it?

Yes, all retail scanners do.
