Sometimes with the right QR code reader, you see addresses or postcodes, but sometimes it's just a bunch of random numbers so that the system can see its progress through the system and identify any points in the pipeline, it looks like you got a random one.

"Employers are always seeking more productivity from workers, without considering the human factor, the worker's age, the weather conditions and the intense heat. We need to intervene before it's too late, reducing working hours and the load carried by workers, because it's impossible to sustain the rhythm they're forced to work at for many years."

My best guess is it's a 2nd class large letter from/to Gateshead (maybe)

And it is a 'Datamatrix' rather than a 'QR' code and is part of RMs barcode strategy to barcode just about everything that passes through their systems
