What is UPC Barcode?
A UPC barcode, or Universal Product Code barcode, is a type of barcode that is widely used in retail settings to encode product information. The UPC barcode consists of a series of vertical bars and spaces of varying widths, and is designed to be read by a barcode scanner. UPC barcodes typically consist of 12 digits, with the first digit indicating the type of product, and the remaining digits representing the product code and other information such as the manufacturer and the country of origin. When a UPC barcode is scanned, the information encoded in the barcode is transmitted to a computer system, which can use the data to identify the product and retrieve additional information, such as the price and inventory status. This makes UPC barcodes an important tool for managing retail inventory and streamlining the checkout process.
