[Koha] Circulating magazines/ Printing barcodes

We circulate individual copies of our magazines and are wondering how
other Koha (3.0) libraries handle this.

We generally keep only a year's worth of back issues, so in theory we
could simply create individual items for the 6, 12, or whatever number
of annual issues.

This would involve printing barcodes on stickers to attach to each
issue (using the same barcode for each January issue, for example.)

I haven't experimented w/ Koha's label printing utility, but it occurs
to me that there are probably simpler programs, or perhaps we could
use MS-Word + a specialized font.

Grateful for any guidance on any of these issues.

Thank you,
