Textbook Shelf Tags

We still use physical shelf tags and have been using fairly kludgy methods to get something ready in time for classes, so I wanted to reach out see how other people print shelf tags out of NetSuite. Is there a function within NetSuite that creates shelf tags? If so, is it something custom? Is there a simple way to flag courses that have had a shelf tag printed, or vice versa, any courses that need shelf tags printed?

The only way I've been shown is through exporting an excel file and then working the file into something that can be imported through an adobe document merge, which is tedious to say the least. Are there custom reports that pull in all the data for multiple different child items and compile them together for a single tag? Most of my efforts are spent getting data for every child item adopted in a semester and then using formulas to pull matching ISBNs together to get new, used, and digital prices to display on the same physical tag.
