About UPC-E
UPC-E is a zero-suppressed form of UPC-A: zeros in the number are compressed away so the code becomes roughly half as wide. Only UPC-A numbers with a specific zero pattern can be compressed.
Used for
- Small packages on the North American market
Frequently asked questions
Why can my number not be turned into a UPC-E?
Only UPC-A numbers with zeros in the right positions can be compressed. If your number has the wrong pattern there is no UPC-E form — use UPC-A or EAN-13.
