catalog number

Product tracking designation

A catalog number is an identifier assigned to an item in a systematic collection—a book in a library, a recording in a music label's catalog, or a product in a supplier's inventory.

The number allows precise retrieval: Order part 7742-B from the catalog number listed.

In music, catalog numbers identify specific releases: The album's catalog number indicates it was an early pressing.
