Short answer: Stock Sanganeri print when you need volume, low price points and every set to look identical (hotels, marketplaces, repeat retail). Stock hand block print when you sell to customers who pay for visible handcraft (boutiques, gifting, export). Many retailers carry both: Sanganeri for everyday sales and hand block for the premium shelf.
Both are traditional Jaipur printing styles and both are printed on cotton, but they suit different customers, price points and reorder patterns. This guide explains the difference from a buyer’s point of view.

What is Sanganeri print?
Sanganeri print takes its name from Sanganer, a printing town near Jaipur known for fine floral and buti motifs on light backgrounds. For a wholesale buyer, its biggest advantage is repeatability: the set you sell today looks like the set you reorder next month. That matters to hotels matching linen across rooms and to online sellers whose product photos must match what the customer receives.

What is hand block print?
In hand block printing, an artisan presses a carved wooden block onto the fabric by hand, one impression at a time, and repeats it across the sheet. Small variations in pressure and alignment are part of the look. Customers who buy hand block are paying for that handmade character, which is why it sells at a higher retail price and works well as a gift.

Which one should your store stock?
Choose Sanganeri if you…
- sell on Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho or your own site and need photos to match every piece
- supply hotels, guest houses or homestays that reorder the same design
- compete on price in the everyday bedsheet segment
Choose hand block if you…
- run a boutique or concept store with customers who value craft
- sell gifts, including wedding and festive gifting
- export to buyers who specifically look for handmade Indian textiles
Or stock both
Highmour’s MOQ is 10 pieces and can be mixed across sizes, prints and designs, so you can test both styles in one order and reorder what sells.
How to tell them apart when buying
- Look at repeated motifs. Identical repeats point to Sanganeri; tiny differences between repeats point to hand block.
- Ask the supplier directly which method was used for each design, and get it written on the invoice or quote.
- Order a sample. At Highmour, samples are paid at 1.5× the wholesale price, so you can compare both styles in hand.
Frequently asked questions
Is Sanganeri print the same as hand block print?
No. Both come from the Jaipur region, but Sanganeri print gives consistent, identical motifs, while hand block print is pressed by hand with wooden blocks and varies slightly from piece to piece.
Which is better for hotels?
Usually Sanganeri, because every set in a batch matches and reorders stay consistent.
Which sells at a higher price?
Hand block. At Highmour, hand block double and king sets are ₹1,050 – ₹1,200 per set wholesale, compared with ₹300 – ₹370 for a Sanganeri single. All textile prices are plus 5% GST.
Can I mix Sanganeri and hand block in one order?
Yes. The 10-piece MOQ can be mixed across prints, sizes and designs.
