25 Years of Innovation & Growth
Photodon began in the basement of founders Don and Jeanette Basch’s home, where Don designed and built monitor hoods to reduce glare for photo editing projects. These first hoods soon led to smaller visors for camera displays and, eventually, anti-glare screen protectors. Back then, screen protectors were cut by hand, making custom cutouts a real challenge.
Today, Photodon operates out of a 7,500-square-foot facility. Our monitor hoods and camera visors evolved into large screen hoods, and we’ve designed a sturdy hood that can be used outdoors. We’ve expanded into the privacy filter market and offer 12 different screen protector material types. We run three laser machines that are extremely precise and make life much easier than the hand-cutting days! We have 13 dedicated employees on our team who make the magic happen daily.
What hasn’t changed are the owners and their guiding beliefs and principles: work with integrity, source high-quality materials, provide the best customer service possible, always strive for improvement, and treat employees like family.
From One Hood to Custom Solutions
What began with our very first product — a simple camera hood — has evolved into a versatile solution for today’s workspaces. Our Standard Adjustable Office Hoods are designed to reduce glare from overhead and side lighting, helping you see your screen more clearly. Professionally crafted and fully adjustable, these hoods not only improve visibility but also add privacy by limiting side viewing.
If our standard models don’t fit your setup, no problem, we offer custom sizes and even a dual-hood option for side-by-side monitors.
We sincerely thank you – our customers and partners – for your continued support. Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of serving thousands of customers worldwide across a wide range of industries, from healthcare and education to creative professionals. Whether it was a single screen protector or a bulk order of 1,200 privacy filters, every project has helped shape who we are today. Your trust, loyalty, and collaboration have been the foundation of our success. Simply put, without our customers, there wouldn’t be Photodon.
Memorable Projects, Unique Solutions
One of our most memorable projects involved a customer who needed privacy filters for 1,200 new 34” curved monitors. They shipped all 1,200 monitors to us, and we cut and installed our privacy filters on each one before sending them back. At the time, we had moved out of the basement but were still operating in just 1,500 square feet-so we rented an additional unit and set up an assembly line to get the job done!
