Herff Jones was established in 1920. The company started out manufacturing class rings, medals, pins and other emblematic jewelry. Over the years, the company has added yearbooks, graduation announcements and accessories, diplomas, caps and gowns, diploma frames, and educational learning materials to the list of products it manufactures. Although both publicly and privately held throughout its history, the company became 100% employee-owned in 1995. With manufacturing facilities across the United States, Herff Jones serves thousands of colleges and high schools across the country, along with countless grade schools, middle schools, churches, commercial firms, sports teams, movie studios and even courtrooms.
Herff Jones prides itself on community involvement and was one of the organizations that took part in the creation of the 2120 Learning Lab at the IUPUI University Library. The lab offers an innovative instructional space designed especially for library classes.
