None Conversion UCC/EAN 128 3-33 GS1 Composite GS1 Composite symbol group consists of two components: a linear component, which encodes the item’s primary data; and an adjacent 2D composite component, which contains supplementary data. The linear component will be a traditional symbol of types: GS-128, EAN-8, EAN-13, UPC-A, UPC-E or DataBar. The composite component will be either a CC-A (encoding up to 56 digits), a CC-B (up to 338 digits) or a CC-C (up to 2361 digits).
