These needles are made in Germany

SCHMETZ Industrial Sewing Ballpoint Needles are needles designed for industrial sewing machines that use the DBX1 or 16X231 needle system. The ballpoint needle tip is designed to sew through knit fabrics without damaging or breaking the fibers, making it ideal for sewing jersey, spandex, and other stretchy materials.

The size 55/6 indicates the needle size. The larger the number, the thicker the needle, while the smaller the number, the thinner the needle. A size 55/6 needle is suitable for lightweight to medium-weight fabrics, such as cotton, rayon, and silk. It is important to select the appropriate needle size for the fabric you are sewing to avoid damaging the fabric or causing skipped stitches.

It is always recommended to consult the manufacturer's manual for the correct needle type and size for your specific sewing machine and fabric.
