Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a custom metal badge like the Dallas County Sheriff's Department courthouse star?

Yes. Owl Badges produces custom die-struck metal badges for sheriff's departments, police departments, and public-safety agencies nationwide. You can order this Dallas County design as shown — polished gold five-point star, oak-leaf filigree arms, SHERIFF ribbon banner, and the courthouse county seal — or change any element to fit your agency. There is no setup fee and no mold fee.

Can you put our own county seal or courthouse on a Dallas County style badge?

Yes. The center of this Dallas County design is a county seal rather than a state seal, and our artwork team can render your own courthouse, county seal, or agency emblem in the same style. We can also change the ring and banner lettering, adjust the founding date, and finish the badge in gold, silver, or two-tone. You receive a free proof before any tooling begins.

What is the minimum order for custom metal badges?

Metal badges carry a low minimum order, and per-piece pricing drops as quantity rises. Small runs are welcome for new departments or specialty units, with price breaks at 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 pieces.

How much does a custom metal badge like this Dallas County star cost?

Estimated pricing ranges from about $150 each at low quantities down to roughly $50 each at higher volumes. There is no setup fee and no mold fee. Final pricing depends on the finished size, plating, and quantity, and is confirmed with a free quote.

How long does production take for a metal badge?

Custom die-struck metal badges take approximately 8 to 14 weeks for tooling, striking, plating, and finishing after your proof is approved. Detailed architectural relief like the courthouse on this badge is cut into the die at the tooling stage, and your design is confirmed before production begins.

Do I need credentials to order a Dallas County Sheriff badge with the real agency name?

Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency name such as the Dallas County Sheriff's Department are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Public-safety buyers provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production. Custom or fictional department designs, and designs where you change the name to your own, are welcome without that step.
