Allowable Sizes - Sizes for the UPC-E are
determined by a “magnification” factor which
is based on the “X” dimension size. These
magnifications range from 80% to 200% of
the nominal size, or 100% size (1.46 inches in
width, 1.020 inches in height, “X” Dimension
- 13 mils). However, as low as 75% (10 mil
“X” dimension) has been allowed with ther-
mal/transfer print technologies.
