Universal product codes, otherwise known as UPCs and barcodes, are those black and white lined images with numbers on the bottom that you find on the bottom or back of every item ever made. Bar codes are used for inventory and management of ordering or organizational purposes. The beginning of a barcode number, or the first block of five numbers, indicates the manufacturer's universal code. Every item made by a specific manufacturer will contain that same block of numbers, but every item will contain a unique second set of numbers. Because barcodes are used on every product or item ever made for sale across the entire world, intensive software algorithms are needed to organize the items and for other needs as well, such as automatic inventory systems.

If you want more information about what bar codes are, how they work, and how the numbers help keep track of inventory and make it easier to order inventory, then Business.com can help you find that information.
