| Description: |
UPC-E is a variation of
UPC-A which allows for a more compact barcode by eliminating "extra"
zeros. Since the resulting UPC-E barcode is about half the size as an
UPC-A barcode, UPC-E is generally used on products with very small
packaging where a full UPC-A barcode couldn't reasonably fit. |
