Frequently Asked Questions

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

Yes. Owl Badges produces custom die-struck metal badges for police departments, sheriff’s offices, and constable offices nationwide. You can order this gold oval style as shown or change the map, the seal ring color, the flags, the rank line, and the plating to fit your own department. Badges carrying a real agency name require credential verification before production.

What is the minimum order for a police badge like this?

There is a low minimum order. Single badges are available for individual officers, and per-piece pricing drops sharply as quantity rises, which makes larger runs practical for an entire department or a promotion cycle at once.

Can the second flag be changed to a state, city or heritage flag?

Yes. This badge pairs the United States flag with a second flag in red, white and gold, each struck as a raised waving flag with its own enamel colors. We can put any flag on either shoulder, a state, city, heritage or unit flag, reproduced from artwork you supply, or run both shoulders with the same flag.

How much does a custom metal badge like this cost?

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

How long does production take?

Approximately 8 to 14 weeks for tooling, striking, enamel fill, plating, and finishing after your proof is approved. The two raised flags carry different color sets, so each is filled and leveled on its own before the badge goes to final polish.

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

Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency or department name are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Castroville police buyers provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. Custom or fictional department designs, and designs where you substitute your own agency name, are welcome without that step.
