UPC code
Checkout scanner target
UPC code is a Universal Product Code—the barcode printed on retail packaging that identifies products for scanning at checkout.
The term is technically redundant since the C in UPC already stands for code, but UPC code is common in everyday speech: The cashier couldn't scan the UPC code.
