Do you know anything baout barcodes? Barcodes do not have serial numbers encoded on them. Every printer of the same brand and model has the same barcode. Any other system would increase the cost of printing boxes tenfold.
actually it wouldn't. There is a printing process called "variable data printing" that allows for changing small printed graphics like barcodes, names, addresses, etc. You could print five thousand different barcodes on 5000 different boxes and hardly add any work time. it's pretty cool actually. That's how all those annoying flyers reach your and your neighbor's mailbox having two different addresses but the same marketing piece.
