    OK... Need some clarification to give useful info;

    Who prints the numbers?

    Do you really want "serial numbers" or rather non-repeating randomized numbers, so people can't guess numbers and fake out your fulfillment system to get free stuff.

    Do you need to:

    1 generate a list of unguessable numbers

    2 send those to printing process, other people handle this once they get number list

    3 add a redemption form to website that asks for user to type in unguessable number and shipping info, then you lookup number to make sure it is OK, then ship out the stuff

    I.e. does this work like airline confirmation codes? Usually alpha numeric like F6A89E

    • use a guid or pseudo guid. make sure your form is hardened against brute-force attacks.monNom
