Can I order just one badge?

Yes. We accept single badge orders with no minimum quantity requirements for metal badges. Some product types (flex badges, PVC patches, stickers) do have minimums due to production setup costs. Order one badge for a new recruit or outfit your entire department — same quality, same attention to detail either way.

How much do custom police badges cost?

Metal badges range from $30-$150 depending on the style, size, and level of customization. Every badge includes full personalization — your agency name, officer rank, badge number, and department seal — at no extra charge. There are no setup fees and no hidden charges. Bulk orders of 10 or more badges receive automatic discounts ranging from 30% to 60% off depending on quantity. Contact us for agency pricing on large department orders.

How long does it take to receive my badge?

Standard metal badge production takes 8-12 weeks from approved design. Embroidered patches take 3-5 weeks. Rush orders are available for select badge styles. Contact us at 626-412-1200 for current lead times on your specific badge style.

What materials are your badges made from?

Our metal badges are crafted from high-grade brass or nickel alloys and undergo multiple stages of die-striking for crisp, sharp details. Finish options include gold plating, silver/nickel plating, two-tone combinations, true black, gun metal, and antique finishes. All badges feature tarnish-resistant plating, scratch-resistant surfaces, and professional jewelry-grade polish. Every badge passes a multi-point quality inspection before shipping and comes with a 2-year warranty.

Can I duplicate my existing department badge?

Yes. Send us your existing badge or clear photos of it and our design team will create an exact duplicate. We send digital design proofs for your approval before production begins so you can confirm every detail looks exactly right. We can also reproduce the same design in different color variations — gold, silver, two-tone — for different ranks within your department.

Do you offer discounts for department bulk orders?

Yes. Bulk department orders receive significant volume discounts: 10+ badges: 30% off 25+ badges: 45% off 50+ badges: 50% off 100+ badges: 60% off Contact us at 626-412-1200 with your quantity and requirements for a custom quote tailored to your department's needs.

What information do I need to customize a badge?

You'll need your agency name, officer rank or title, badge number (optional), and any seal or emblem you'd like included. Our live online designer lets you enter this information and see your badge update in real time. If you need help matching your department's official seal or colors, our design team is available via live chat or phone at no extra charge.

Can I get a proof before my badge goes into production?

Yes. For all custom quote orders, our design team sends you a digital proof for approval before production begins. You can request as many changes as needed until the design is exactly right. Production only begins after you give final written approval. For badges designed through our online designer, you see a real-time preview of every change as you make it — what you see on screen is exactly what you receive.

Do you accept purchase orders from government agencies?

Yes. We accept purchase orders from verified government agencies including police departments, sheriff departments, fire departments, corrections facilities, and municipal accounts. Contact us at 626-412-1200 or orders@owlbadges.com to set up your agency account. We also offer invoicing and phased delivery options for large department orders.

What are my payment options?

Individual and non-government orders: All major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover) and Affirm pay-over-time financing. Government and agency orders: Purchase orders from qualified organizations, Net 30 payment terms for approved accounts, organizational billing/invoicing, wire transfers, and ACH payments for large orders. Tax-exempt processing available for qualifying government organizations. Contact us to set up your agency billing account.

What types of patches do you offer?

We offer four types of custom patches. Embroidered patches are our most popular option, made with premium polyester thread on heavy-duty twill backing with a minimum order of 10 pieces. PVC rubber patches are ideal for tactical gear and all-weather use with a 50-piece minimum. Woven patches offer a flatter, more detailed finish for intricate designs. We also offer iron-on, sew-on, and velcro backing options for all patch types.

Can I customize patches with officer ranks and numbers?

Yes. Every patch can be personalized with officer name, rank, badge number, and unit designation. For department-wide orders, simply provide us with each officer's details and we will produce individually personalized patches for every member of your team. This is popular with police departments ordering shoulder patches, name tapes, and rank patches for full department uniform updates.

Can I reorder badges I've ordered before?

Yes. We maintain design files for all custom badge orders. To reorder, contact us with your previous order details and we'll retrieve your design immediately. Reorders typically process faster than new orders since your design is already approved. You can also modify quantities or make minor design adjustments — for example updating badge numbers for new officers joining your department.

Do you ship outside the USA?

We primarily serve agencies within the United States. For international orders, please contact us directly at 626-412-1200 to discuss shipping options and lead times for your country.
