Interleaved 2 of 5 barcodes are widely used in distribution and shipping. Interleaved 2 of 5 bar codes (ITF barcodes) are used on corrugated boxes, cartons, and pallets. They're also used in laboratories and in the medical industry.

Interleaved 2 of 5 is a numeric-only barcode symbology. It encodes numbers only. It is very compact because each pair of numbers is represented by only one character. In effect Interleaved 2 of 5 barcodes employ a 2:1 compression ratio.

All Interleaved 2 of 5 barcodes encode even digit strings. If an input string is an odd number of digits long, our software adds a leading zero to it. For example "12345" is encoded as "012345".

Because both the bars and spaces encode data, Interleaved 2 of 5 barcodes are said to be self-checking. They don't include a mandatory check digit. An optional modulus 10 check digit can be used.
