Ball Point Titanium DBXK5

Organ DB×K5 Titanium Ball Point Industrial Embroidery Needles | Large Eye (Base SKU: DBXK5-BPT | System: DB×K5 | 100 Needles per Box)

The Premium Choice for High-Speed Knit & Performance Wear Embroidery. Are you tired of your needles punching holes in expensive moisture-wicking polos? The Organ DB×K5 Titanium Ball Point is engineered specifically to protect delicate knits during high-volume commercial runs. Coated with Titanium Nitride (TiN), these needles run significantly cooler and last up to 5 times longer than standard chromium needles, completely eliminating the heat friction that melts synthetic performance fibers.

Is this needle for you? ⚠️ IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY CHECK: These needles have a ROUND SHANK. They are designed strictly for Commercial/Industrial Embroidery Machines (e.g., Tajima, Barudan, SWF, Ricoma, Brother PR Series). They will NOT fit standard home sewing machines (which require a flat-sided shank).

Key Performance Features

Titanium Nitride Coating: The gold-colored TiN coating significantly reduces needle wear and heat build-up. This extends the life of your needle by 3 to 5 times and prevents the needle from melting synthetic performance fabrics at high speeds.

Ball Point (SES) Profile: Unlike a sharp needle that cuts through fabric, the Ball Point is designed to gently part the fibers of knitted garments. This completely prevents the needle from slicing the yarn, eliminating those disastrous holes that appear around your embroidery after the first wash.

Over-Sized "Large Eye": The eye is significantly larger than standard needles, allowing embroidery thread to flow freely. This drastically reduces friction, prevents thread shredding, and is essential for thick threads or dense fill stitches.

OEM Quality: Produced to the exact tolerances required by the world's leading machine manufacturers to ensure consistent timing and fewer skipped stitches.

Best Use Practices

Primary Use: High-speed commercial embroidery on polo shirts, performance wear, t-shirts, beanies, and fleece.

Warning for Wovens: Because this is a Ball Point, it is NOT recommended for tightly woven materials like stiff cap buckram or heavy canvas. Using a ball point on a rigid cap will cause needle deflection and broken threads. For caps, please purchase our Sharp point needles.

Thread Recommendations: Ideal for 40wt and 30wt Polyester/Rayon.
