The check digit is the last barcode number that makes sure the barcode is correctly composed. Find out here how to calculate your check digit manually.
This Fact Sheet provides a detailed explanation of how to calculate the Check Digits for the diferent length GS1 Identification Numbers. Note: The Check Digit for a Zero Suppressed GTIN-12 (encoded in a UPC-Ebarcode) is calculated using the first eleven digits of the GTIN-12 in its expanded form.
Suppose you want to find the Check Digit for the GTIN-12 (U.P.C.) Number 61414121022. Set up a table with 12 columns, and put the number 61414121022 into Positions One through Eleven. Position Twelve will be blank because it is reserved for the Check Digit.
The calculation is used to create the check digit for all the GS1 Identification Keys that require them, including GTINs and GLNs. Let’s take the GTIN 501234567890C, where C is the check digit. This is how you calculate it: 1 Starting with the right hand digit of the number, add all the alternate digit values 2 Multiply the result of step 1 ...
The following calculation can be used to create the check digit for all the GS1 Identification Keys that require them, including GTINs and GLNs. Let’s take the GTIN 501234567890C as an example, where C is the check digit.
