Most industrial machines (Tajima, Barudan, Juki, Brother, SWF, ZSK) use 120/2 polyester β the global default. Use 120/3 for bold fills and 75/2 for fine lettering under 6mm.
Cones come in 1,000m, 5,000m, and 10,000m. For high-volume production, 5,000m or 10,000m cones are most economical and reduce machine downtime from bobbin changes.
