Apparelist Features Blue Ridge Screen Products' Open House and Misfit Misprints Partnership

October 2, 2026

Blue Ridge Screen Products was recently featured by Apparelist in a story highlighting our upcoming 2026 Open House and our partnership with Misfit Misprints.

The article, written by Apparelist Content Director Cassie Green, explores the bigger idea behind this year's event: bringing the decorated-apparel community together to learn, connect, and make a positive impact beyond the production floor.

More Than an Equipment Open House

Our October 15–16 Open House is designed to give print professionals an opportunity to see equipment running live, talk directly with industry experts, and take part in educational classes focused on practical challenges facing decorators.

As BRSP President Aaron Blank explained to Apparelist, the event is “designed around educating.”

That focus can be seen throughout this year's class schedule, which includes topics ranging from screen-printing profitability and UV patches to DTF halftoning, color management, automation, and garment-decorating finance. The goal is for attendees to leave with information they can actually apply to their businesses, not simply a look at new equipment.

Turning Misprints Into Something More

The Apparelist feature also highlights our partnership with Misfit Misprints, a nonprofit working to reduce textile waste by finding better destinations for misprinted, excess, and otherwise unusable apparel.

During the Open House, attendees are encouraged to bring qualifying misprinted garments for donation. Misfit Misprints will also be onsite to talk with decorators about options for overruns, canceled orders, deadstock, and other textile materials that might otherwise become waste.

For us, the partnership fits naturally with the purpose of the event. We want the Open House to support better businesses, a stronger decorating industry, and the communities around us.
