Hi Judith,
Thank you for asking this. I'll be anxious to see the replies.
Here in the US, we still rely on tags and duplicate tags.
It's labor intensive, and we need a better way. Maybe a stack of bar
code tags on each bag. Then, as they get subdivided, the new tags
could also get subdivided. If one ran out of bar-coded tags, then
one could copy the code numbers on subsequent tags...
How do you do it in Australia?
