What Is Dabu Print?
Dabu is a mud-resist printing craft from the villages around Bagru and Akola in Rajasthan. Artisans stamp a paste of black clay, lime and natural gum onto cotton, then dye the cloth in indigo. Wherever the mud sits, the dye cannot reach, which leaves pale motifs against deep blue with a soft, slightly crackled texture.
Our Dabu print bedsheets bring that look to bulk orders. The Dabu designs and indigo colouring are screen printed at our Sanganer factory with colorfast reactive dyes, so every piece in a lot matches and the colour holds through washing. For retailers, that means the "Jaipuri Dabu" story customers ask for, at a price that leaves room for margin: Dabu print bedsheets typically retail at ₹1,299–₹2,599 against our ₹550–₹650 wholesale price.

Call Now →Natural indigo used in hand-dyed Dabu can bleed or fade with washing. That character is loved by craft buyers, but on Amazon, Flipkart and Meesho it turns into returns and bad reviews.
Our Dabu designs use colorfast reactive dyes. Your customers get the Rajasthani indigo look, and you get stock that does not come back with fading complaints. We still advise a cold first wash, washed separately, as with any dark cotton.
Screen Printed Dabu: Same Look, Every Piece
Hand-dyed Dabu is made one piece at a time, so each piece differs. That suits a single boutique sale, but not volume retail where the product must match its listing photo. Screen printing fixes that.
What screen printing gives you
- The Dabu indigo look, printed precisely
- The same pattern placement on every piece
- Very low defect rates on large lots
Why it matters at retail
- Pieces match your online product photos
- Steady cost, no artisan premium
- Reorders look the same, batch after batch

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Dabu print? Is your Dabu bedsheet hand block or screen printed?
Dabu is a mud-resist craft from around Bagru and Akola in Rajasthan, where a clay paste blocks indigo dye to leave pale motifs. Our Dabu bedsheets are screen printed in Dabu designs with colorfast reactive dyes, so every piece matches and the colour holds.
Will the indigo colour fade after washing?
Our Dabu designs use colorfast reactive dyes, unlike natural indigo which can bleed. Murugan cotton at 56×60 holds colour well. Advise customers to cold wash and wash separately the first 2–3 times.
What is the wholesale price of Dabu print bedsheets?
₹550–₹650 per piece plus shipping, direct from our Sanganer, Jaipur factory. Each set has a 90×108 inch bedsheet and 2 zipper pillow covers.
What is the MOQ for Dabu print bedsheets wholesale?
MOQ is just 15–20 pcs. Call / SMS 8107492335 with your requirement. Mixed orders with our Bagru and Sanganeri ranges are supported.
What retail price can my customers charge?
Dabu print bedsheets typically retail at ₹1,299–₹2,599. At ₹550–₹650 wholesale, that is a 2×–4× margin depending on your positioning. Boutiques can sell at ₹1,800–₹2,200 with the Rajasthani craft story.
What size is the Dabu bedsheet?
90×108 inch, about 229×274 cm. The 2 zipper pillow covers are 18×27 inch, about 46×69 cm.
Is this product suitable for export orders?
Yes. It is pre-washed, colorfast, consistently sized and properly packed. We provide GST invoices and packing lists and coordinate with your freight forwarder. Call / SMS 8107492335 for export pricing.
Why zipper pillow covers instead of open-end covers?
Zipper covers stay closed in the wash, look neater in product photos and are often required by boutique and export buyers. It is a small detail that supports a higher retail price.
Can I get a sample before a bulk order?
Yes. Sample orders are available. Call / SMS 8107492335 for sample pricing and dispatch.
Do you have Dabu print in colours other than indigo?
