Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a metal badge with a monument scene like this Forest Hill design?

Yes. This Forest Hill Police badge carries a full architectural vignette — a gold gateway arch, flag, plaza and trees — struck in relief at the center of the oval, and that scene can be reproduced exactly or replaced with your own city’s landmark. Detailed vignettes like this are die-struck from your artwork, so buildings and monuments keep their depth at duty-badge size.

Can you change the scrolls, lettering, or scene on this badge?

Yes. This design is a starting point. Our artwork team can change POLICE OFFICER, FOREST HILL, and the POLICE and TX panels to your own agency and rank wording, swap the gateway scene for your city’s landmark or seal, and finish the badge in silver, gold, or two-tone. You receive a free proof before any tooling or production begins.

What is the minimum order for a custom metal badge like this?

Metal badges carry a low minimum order, and per-piece pricing drops as quantity rises. Small runs are welcome for a department the size of Forest Hill’s, a specialty unit, or replacement badges, with sharper pricing at larger quantities.

How much does a custom metal badge like this 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 size, plating, and quantity, and is confirmed with a free quote.

How long does production take for a badge with black enamel panels?

Custom die-struck metal badges take approximately 8 to 14 weeks for tooling, striking, plating, enamel fill, and finishing after your proof is approved. The four enamel lettering panels are filled in a single pass, so they add no extra lead time. Your design is confirmed before production starts.

Do I need credentials to order a Forest Hill Police badge?

Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency name such as the Forest Hill Police 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 renamed designs for your own department are welcome without that step.
