In House UPC (cih)

A UPC, or Universal Product Code, is a 12-digit barcode that identifies products and their manufacturers. Retail stores and logistics third parties (like warehouses) scan these unique UPCs to import price data and track inventory. UPCs constitute a standardized product identification system managed by the Global Standards Organization (GS1). You might also see them referred to by their technical name, “UPC-A barcodes.” UPCs are unique to product types, not individual products. For example, two pairs of sneakers in the same model, size, and color would receive the same code.
