Overview

Interleaved 2 of 5 (ITF, i2of5) is a numeric only barcode used to encode pairs of numbers into a self-checking, high-density barcode format. In this symbology, every two digits are interleaved with each other to create a single symbol. If a number string containing an odd number of digits needs to be encoded, a leading zero must be added to produce an even number of digits in the Interleaved 2 of 5 barcode. In many cases, the Code 128 barcode offers an advantage over the i2of5 barcode because it encodes even and odd numbers of digits, as well as letters and symbols, with equal or greater density.
