Woven labels / Damask
The finest detail we can weave
Damask carries the highest thread density in our range. More threads per inch means smaller text, cleaner curves and a softer hand feel than any other woven label.

What we do
Our best label, at an affordable price
Damask labels are chosen by brands that want the highest quality label available: high thread density, unparalleled softness, and effectively unlimited design capacity. Kowloon Knitting produces premium damask clothing labels at a price that does not assume a luxury budget.
We weave damask on state of the art high-speed looms. That is what lets each label show solid colour and high-definition detail without giving up softness — the two things that usually trade off against each other in a woven label.
Artwork and delivery times are fast. We provide a production sample for approval within 5–7 working days of receiving your signed approval.
Our minimum order quantity is 500 pieces, with no maximum.
To compare damask against satin or taffeta in person, ask us for samples.
Why damask
What you get from a damask label
Finest quality, exquisite design
Damask is the label high-end clothing manufacturers reach for. The density of the weave means intricate artwork survives the translation from screen to thread.
Only the best equipment
State of the art high-speed looms produce solid, even colour and high-definition detail across the entire run, not just on the first hundred pieces.
Soft against the skin
A fine weave with fine threads gives a much softer edge than a coarser fabric, which is why damask rarely triggers the complaint that ends with a customer cutting the label out.
Built to last
Careful manufacturing with the finest threads means damask labels withstand years of use without flaking, fading or fraying.
Colour matched
Give us a Pantone reference and we match it in thread, confirmed on your physical production sample.
Every finishing cut
End fold, loop fold, Manhattan fold, mitre fold and laser cut are all available in damask.
Common questions
Before you order
What makes damask different from satin?
Thread density. Damask uses finer threads packed more tightly, so it holds smaller text and finer detail, and it feels softer. Satin has a glossier surface and costs less.
Is damask worth the extra cost?
It depends on your artwork. If your logo has fine lines, small text or subtle gradients, damask is the only weave that will do it justice. If your design is bold and simple, satin will look nearly identical for less.
How small can the text be on a damask label?
Damask holds the smallest text of our woven range, but there is still a floor. Send us your artwork and we will tell you honestly whether it needs simplifying before we quote.
Does damask feel scratchy?
No. It is the softest woven label we make, which is why it is the usual choice for labels sitting directly against the neck.
