A zero-suppressed compact version of UPC-A designed for small retail items where the full-size barcode cannot fit. UPC-E compresses a 12-digit UPC-A into an 8-digit representation by removing specific patterns of trailing zeros from the manufacturer or item number.

常见问题

  
  

    什么是UPC-E条形码？
    
UPC-E是UPC-A的8位零压缩变体，专为无法容纳12位条形码的小型零售包装而设计。

  

  
  

    UPC-E与UPC-A有何不同？
    
UPC-E通过去除特定零模式压缩UPC-A，将其从12位缩减为8位，所有零售扫描器会自动将其还原为UPC-A。

  

  
  

    我可以在任何产品上用UPC-E代替UPC-A吗？
    
不可以。只有具有符合条件零模式的UPC-A码才能压缩为UPC-E。使用UPC转换器检查您的代码是否符合条件。
