Allow me to point out the (un)obvious...
UPC = Universal Product Code
where the leading 0 means general merchandise
there is an additional lead character but I forget the detail (something like
3 means pharmacutical)
five characters to the left of the framing bars (if used) = manufacturer
so 42884 = Lego
five characters to the right of the framing bars (if used) = item number
so 06979 = 6979 Interstellar Starfighter
The last digit is a checksum to verify a good read.
99% of the time this SHOULD be true... otherwise it would be very universal,
would it? :)
