The second two numbers refer to the year, (in this case 98, so the year is 1998).
The third line refers to the Printer & Reprint details;
The first figure refers to Printer Codes; they are P for Pemara & S for SNP Cambec;
The second two figures refer to the print run, 1K = first reprint; 2K = second reprint; 3K = third reprint; 4K = fourth reprint; 1R = fifth reprint & so on.

So the above box was packaged in the morning on the 28 July, 1998 & printed by Pemara as a first reprint.
