__ number: product ID (6)

I believe the answer is:

serial

(Other definitions for serial that I've seen before include "Continuous, perhaps like mulitple killer ( 6)" , "Episodic story from Israel" , "following a characteristic pattern" , "Continuous story set in Israel" , "In regular succession without gaps" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
