Batik Design Block Making Process
Each Bombay Batik design begins with a hand-carved wooden block. Every block brings out unique, authentic patterns in our handcrafted fabrics.
Batik Fabric Printing Process
In the Batik printing process, hot wax is carefully applied using handcrafted blocks to create intricate patterns.
Batik Colour Dyeing Process
After wax printing, the fabric is dipped into rich, natural dyes. The waxed areas resist the color, creating stunning contrast and detail.
Final Finishing
In the final step, the fabric is gently heated and washed to remove the wax.
What Makes Batik Printing Style Unique?
Block Printing: An Artisan’s Devotion
Block printing is not just a process — it’s a living tradition. At Bombay Batik, our artisans:
- Hand-carve wooden blocks, often spending days on a single design.
- Align and stamp each block by hand with precision and patience.
Screen Printing: Mass Made, Not Hand Made
Screen printing is a faster, semi-mechanical process where:
- Designs are transferred through pre-made stencils and mesh screens.
- It delivers clean, uniform results — but lacks the personal touch found in hand block prints.
Digital Printing: Patterns Without Passion
Digital printing is quick and machine-driven:
- Designs are printed directly from a machine — no hands, no heritage.
- It offers flawless speed, but brings zero human emotion, soul, or storytelling into the fabric.
