Since you asked... I recommend using the barcode label on the original
packaging.  That would be easy. :-D
See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300618

Taken from the website:
Be aware that the serial number appears in small print. If you cannot
read the number, you can find it using any of these methods: 

* Locate it on the barcode label that's affixed to the original
packaging. 
* Your product invoice or receipt may list the iPod shuffle serial
number. 
* Use a magnifying glass to see the smaller print. 
* Connect iPod shuffle to your computer and open iPod Updater 2005-01-11
or later. It will display the iPod shuffle's serial number.

The number comes in way less than 1/2 inch long for all 11 digits. The
iPod is (without a ruler) a couple of inches by about 5 inches. The
number could have been multiple times bigger...real estate is not the
issue.

It is just plain small. The only reason I can think of for it being that
small is they wanted it that small....why? Ask Steve...I'm sure he has a
reason why Apple does everything the way they do it.
