The most common question among machine embroidery buyers is whether to use polyester or rayon (viscose) thread. For industrial and export production — especially garments destined for UAE, UK, USA, and Gulf markets — polyester is the industry standard in 9 out of 10 applications.
| Property | Polyester | Rayon |
|---|---|---|
| Sheen | High — bright, consistent | Very high — silk-like |
| Tensile strength | Excellent — resists breaks at 1,200 RPM | Moderate |
| Colorfastness (wash) | ISO 4–5 — excellent | ISO 3–4 — fair |
| Bleach resistance | Yes | No |
| UV / sunlight fade | Minimal | Moderate to high |
| Best for | Sportswear, workwear, caps, export | Fashion, low-wash items |
| Wholesale price | Lower | Slightly higher |

Pakistan is one of the world's largest producers of polyester embroidery thread, with major manufacturing hubs across the country. Buying direct from a Pakistani supplier saves 30–50% versus European or Chinese intermediaries for UAE, UK, and Gulf importers.

Most industrial machines (Tajima, Barudan, Juki, Brother, SWF, ZSK) use 120/2 polyester — 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.
