Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a custom metal badge like the Lee County Sheriff design?

Yes. Owl Badges produces die-struck metal badges for sheriff’s offices nationwide. This five-point star style can be ordered as shown, or the seal and the three lettering arcs can be changed to your own county, state, and agency. There is no setup fee and no mold fee.

Can you fill the seal ring with a color like the yellow here?

Yes. The ring framing the seal on this badge is filled amber-yellow enamel rather than left as bare gold, which gives the medallion a warm frame of its own. We can flood the ring in any color, letter it with a state or agency name, or leave it plain metal, and show you the options on a free proof.

Can you reproduce a full-color state seal like the Florida seal here?

Yes. The medallion runs full color across several separate cells, with the palm, the water, the state outline, the figure, and the steamboat each recessed and filled individually against raised gold outlines. We can reproduce a state, county, or municipal seal the same way from artwork you supply. Agencies are responsible for confirming they are authorized to use a given state seal on their badges.

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 engraved arms, curved struck lettering, a colored ring, and a multi-color seal 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 laurel engraving, the enamel ring, and the number of colors in the seal place a badge like this 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 Lee County Sheriff name on it?

Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency name — including the Lee County Sheriff’s Office — 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 county name to your own, no credentials are needed.
