Claim:
1. A method for manufacturing a group of packaging media comprising the steps of: producing a series of continuous package media winding on a first roll: generating a sequence of unique codes in a computer system; physically marking the series of packaging media with said unique codes, wherein said sequence is maintained in said series; and creating two or more sub-series of packaging media from said series by: registering in said computer system, a first unique code marked on a first packaging media in a first end of said series; entering an ordered number of packaging media in said computer system; physically creating said sub-series of packaging media from said series of package media based on said ordered number, and winding said sub-series of packaging media on a second roll: registering in said computer system, a last unique code marked on a last packaging media in a last end of said sub-series, opposite said first end; calculating in said computer system an expected number of packaging media in said sub-series based on a difference between said first unique code and said last unique code in said sequence of unique codes; and accepting said sub-series of packaging media if a difference between said expected number and said ordered number is within a predefined tolerance, or refusing said sub-series of continuous packaging media if said difference between said expected number and said ordered number is outside said pre-defined tolerance.
