How are CiM item numbers organized?
CiM item numbers are composed of three parts. The first three digits “511” are the manufacturer code designated for Creation is Messy by Frantz Art Glass (in the same way that 591 indicates Effetre, 791 indicates Vetrofond, etc.) The fourth digit indicates one of the different families of colors as follows: An example of a Messy Color tag on our rods 1 red 2 orange 3 yellow 4 green 5 blue 6 purple 7 brown 8 neutral 9 pink The last two digits indicate the order in which Messy Colors were introduced to the marketplace. For example, “51” would indicate that the color was the fifty first color we ever produced. All Messy Color rods are between 4 and 6 mm in diameter. Some Messy Colors are available in thinner or fatter diameters. To indicate diameters that are not 4-6 mm in our item number system, we add a -S after the initial six digits of the item number. We then add more numbers to indicate as follows: An example of a tag on a Messy Color stringer -S01 1-2 mm -S02 2-3 mm -S04 4-6 mm -S0
