what is the formula in generating a 14 digit master carton code, aka SCC-14 barcode.?

Best answer:

The answer to your question depends on the product inside the master carton as well as the type of carton it is (for example, box, pallet, shipping container, etc.) and whether it is a mixed carton or a carton containing only units of one single type.

Here is the general method for a US product with a UPC barcode shipped in a single type standard master carton:

1) Take the 12-digit UPC code
2) Remove the check digit (that’s the 12th digit)
3) Convert the UPC to EAN-UCC by adding a 0 in front
4) Add a 1 in front of the 0
5) Calculate the new digit based on your new 13 digits (for more information on check digit calculation go here: upccode.net/upc_check.html)

The resulting barcode should be created using bearer bars at the immediate top and bottom of the bars plus on the left and right with a quiet zone (= blank space) of about 0.5 inches.

For more information on shipping container codes (aka SCC-14, ITF-14, GTIN-14, Master Carton Code, Shipping Container Code, etc.) go here: upccode.net/upc-guide/shipping_container_code.html

Hope this helps!
