Screen printing and hand printing for commercial textile programs.

Screen printing pushes dye through a prepared mesh screen, one screen per colour, onto the fabric below. It produces clean repeat patterns with consistent coverage and scales well for commercial fabric orders, which is why it carries most bulk volume here. A screen printing run takes roughly four to eight hours depending on the design and how many colours it uses.

Screen printing gives repeat accuracy and even coverage at volume, and runs in about four to eight hours. Hand block printing is done by hand with carved blocks, takes six to ten hours, and gives each length a character that machine printing cannot reproduce. The choice usually comes down to order size, how exact the repeat has to be, and the market the fabric is going into.

Bagru is a town outside Jaipur with a long hand block printing tradition, and this factory sits in its RIICO industrial area. Hand printing here brings craft-led detailing and flexible pattern execution to textile programmes that need something distinctive. It runs six to ten hours per lot, which makes it the slower of the two printing routes, and deliberately so.

Choose screen printing for larger quantities where the repeat has to be identical across every metre, and hand printing where the fabric's appeal depends on visible craft. Both routes run in-house, so one buyer programme can use screen printing for a core range and hand printing for a premium line. Share your design and quantity and a recommendation comes with the quote.

Consistency comes from checking at each stage rather than only at the end. Every batch is inspected for shade, print consistency, finish, fabric feel and dispatch readiness before packing. Elongation control holds width and dimensional stability across the batch, and the 24 hour fixation window stabilises colour, so the last roll off a run matches the first.
