GI-Certified Sanganeri Craft · जी.आई. प्रमाणित
The Geographical Indication tier — Sanganer's protected craft.
Sanganeri hand block printing holds a Geographical Indication (GI application 2009, certificate 2010) — the same class of legal protection as Darjeeling tea. It ties the name 'Sanganeri' to hand block printing done in the Sanganer tradition: hand-carved blocks, characteristic fine florals, specified process. Everything in this edit is printed within that tradition and labelled with its craft, origin and dye class — the proof-first way to buy.
About gi-certified sanganeri craft
What does the GI tag actually guarantee?
That 'Sanganeri' legally means the hand block craft of Sanganer — its motifs, process and place — not any floral print from anywhere. Sellers using the name on screen prints are trading on a protected craft they don't practise.
How do I verify a Sanganeri claim?
Ask three things: is it hand block printed (visible registration character), is the printing from the Sanganer tradition, and will the seller state dye class and process in writing? We answer all three on every listing.
Why does GI matter to me as a buyer?
It is the difference between a ₹350 screen print and a genuine craft object that lasts years and supports the printing families of Sanganer. GI gives you a legal definition to hold sellers to — including us.
