I would think that the easiest way to do this would be to add a new
column to the products table. You can then edit
products-->mv_metadata.asc to add a field for that column on the item
entry screen (requires applying changes after editing).

For instance, create a column labeled something like "ship_code" to the
products table. Once you have the data in that column for the items, you
can show it on flypage.html with [item-field ship_code] wherever you
want it to display.

Hope this helps.
