Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The thick and thin lines that identify products electronically are known as a Universal Product Code (UPC). A UPC is a barcode that consists of a series of vertical lines of varying thickness that represent a unique product identification number. It is used to identify products at the point of sale and is an essential tool for inventory management and tracking sales data. A stock keeping unit (SKU) is a unique code used to identify products in inventory management systems. Brand name identifiers, price bars, and inventory control symbols are not specific terms used to describe the barcode system.
