Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a custom metal badge like the Copperas Cove 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 seal, the flags, the rank line, the founding date, 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 founding date on the banner ends be changed or removed?

Yes. This badge puts the founding date on the ribbon ends of the department banner, EST. on the left and the year on the right, so the date reads as part of the name rather than on its own plate. We can strike your own year there, move the date to the base plate, or drop it and use the ribbon ends for stars or a precinct number.

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 raised flags are the slow part, since each fold has to hold its shape through striking and the enamel has to follow the contour without pooling.

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

Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency or department name are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Copperas Cove 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.
