The DBX1 HR needle (needle system DBX1) has a normal round point for working woven and knit fabrics. It is used in industrial lockstitch and general-purpose sewing machines, here mainly for technical applications such as the packaging industry rather than classic garment production. Suitable machine classes are found, among others, at Singer (classes 71-1, 71-10, 71-101, 71-103), Golden Wheel (classes CS-4060, CS-5100, CS-5100-2T, CS-5100-5) and Juki (classes DDL-5550N, DDL-5550N-7, DDL-5550NH, DDL-5550NH-7).
The available needle sizes are used, among others, for firm, dense materials in the packaging industry. As sewing thread, a matching thickness is usually recommended depending on the needle size chosen, e.g. from Amann Serafil (polyester) or Rasant (polyester/cotton); for heavy-duty use, a bonded nylon thread.
