Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a custom metal badge like the Laguna Beach Police design?

Yes. Owl Badges produces die-struck metal badges for police departments nationwide. This oval tower style can be ordered as shown, or the seal, tower, flags, and banner text can be replaced with your own department details. There is no setup fee and no mold fee.

Can you add badge numbers to an order like the numbered plaque on this design?

Yes. Individual badge numbers are a standard option. We can strike a numbered plaque like the one at the base of this badge, and each piece in your order can carry its own number. Send us the number list with your order and we will show the numbering on your proof.

Can you reproduce enameled flags and a state seal like the ones on this badge?

Yes. The two flags and the California Great Seal here are cell-filled enamel, each color recessed and filled individually so the stripes, the bear, and the ship rigging stay crisp against raised silver outlines. We can reproduce flags, state seals, or municipal seals the same way from artwork you supply. Agencies are responsible for confirming they are authorized to use a given state seal.

How long does production take for a badge like this?

Custom metal badges take approximately 8 to 14 weeks after proof approval, covering tooling, striking, plating, and finishing. A badge with two enameled flags, a multi-color seal, and this much struck silver detail sits toward the longer end of that window. Your design is confirmed on a free proof before any tooling is cut.

How much does a custom metal badge like this cost?

Estimated pricing runs from about $150 each at single quantities down to roughly $50 each at higher volumes, with no setup fee and no mold fee. The flag enamel and the seal detail on a badge like this place it at the detailed end of the range. Final pricing is confirmed with a free quote.

Do I need credentials to order a badge with the Laguna Beach Police name on it?

Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency name — including the Laguna Beach Police Department — are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives, and require proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter. If you change the seal and department name to your own, no credentials are needed.
