Hello.

Horizon-PostandGo-sizes.jpeg
Could you give me advice which barcode format do the following DataMatrix barcodes have. Thay have somethink like:
"JGB 6202220D1234567890000003742500 1161215161215CRL01 TECHHUB CAMPUS EC2A4BX9ZGB EC2A4BX EC2A4BX"
And this is not 2D Mailmark.

Does https://www.royalmail.com/sites/default ... r-2015.pdf answer your question?
This is not Mailmark. Mailmark should have following encoding (Table 2 – Data definitions common to 2D Mailmark barcodes) :
"JGB " - country code
"6" - Information Type ID, but it cannot be 6
"2" Version ID? but it cannot be 2, because 1 is only valid
"0" - Class, valid value, used as test
"2220D12" - Supply Chain ID, non valid value, Format is Numeric only.

It's likely proprietary, you'd have to talk to RM about licensing it for your software development.
