Epson LABELWORKS 236IBYPX Polyester Tape 1.5 in x 30 ft - Durable

In this review of the Epson LABELWORKS 236IBYPX polyester tape cartridge, the bottom line is simple: it is a workhorse industrial label tape for demanding onsite labeling tasks. The tape's 1.5 in width, strong yellow adhesive backing and black print contrast make it particularly useful where visibility and durability matter, and it slips into compatible LABELWORKS printers with no fuss. For operations that need long runs of clear, hard-wearing labels for inventory, safety signage, cable flagging or equipment ID, this cartridge delivers reliable adhesion and legibility.

Key Features

• 1.5 in width, 30 ft length: Provides long continuous runs of wide labels so fewer cartridge changes are needed during large labeling jobs.
• Yellow polyester tape with black print: High contrast improves readability for barcodes and safety signs in busy industrial environments.
• Strong adhesive backing: Designed to stick to metal, plastic and cable jackets, reducing label lift in warehouses and on equipment.
• Compatible with multiple LABELWORKS models: Fits LW-Z5010PX, LW-Z5000PX, LW-PX900 and LW-PX800 for easy integration into an existing fleet of printers.
• Polyester construction: Delivers durability against abrasion, moisture and routine handling compared with plain paper labels.
• Works with cost-saving printer features: Enables auto tape rewind and pick-and-print workflows that reduce wasted tape and speed production.

Who It's For

This tape is aimed at facilities, maintenance teams and shipping centers that require durable, high-visibility labels for inventory management, safety marking and equipment identification. The wide 1.5 in format is well suited to barcode labels, packing instructions and cable flags where extra space is needed for text and icons.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who need decorative or removable labels, or very narrow label formats under 1 in. Also, users with non-LABELWORKS printers will need a compatible cartridge platform; this polyester tape is intended for the listed LABELWORKS models only.
