We Are JN White®

JN White® was founded in 1960. Over the years, we’ve evolved from being an industrial screen printer to a full-service solutions partner for brands around the world. We amped up our industrial printing and custom component capabilities, invested in the latest/greatest technology, and upped the industry’s precision ante.

For our customers, it all boils down to this: superior outcomes and effortless experience from project start to product finish.

We Do It Differently

At JN White®, the labels, graphic overlays, and membrane switches we manufacture are more than just components. They’re the user interfaces that enable people to interact with your products. Thus, we hold ourselves to rigorous, unwavering quality standards in order to deliver with precision every day on every product.

Likewise, we believe your component vendor shouldn’t just be a vendor. To that end, our organization is engaged in Lean Six Sigma in order to provide our customers with the most seamless, highest quality experience possible. It’s a promise we stand by.

Listen. Translate. Create. In That Order

One of the biggest reasons we’ve become our customers’ trusted partner is because we speak their language. And so we’re consistently able to understand and translate their needs into perfectly executed outcomes. Looking for help with your product’s evolution? Let’s talk.

"JN White has been exceptional in working with our company in order to develop the look and feel of our new MRI patient worn transmitter.
