Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a seven-point star badge like this Franklin design?

Yes. This Franklin Police badge is a full seven-point star with no ring frame or banner mount, and that format can be reproduced exactly or adapted for your own agency. Five-, six-, and seven-point stars are all available from the same die-struck process, so you can match your department’s tradition.

Can you change the finish, seal, or lettering on this badge?

Yes. This design is a starting point. Our artwork team can change FRANKLIN and POLICE to your own agency wording, swap the State of Texas seal for your state or municipal seal, keep or replace the oak-leaf arms, and finish the badge in antiqued gold as shown or bright gold, silver, 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 Franklin’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 does the antiqued finish on this badge hold up?

The antiqued treatment darkens the recessed fields during finishing while the raised gold is polished bright, and a protective seal locks that contrast in for daily duty wear. Production takes approximately 8 to 14 weeks for tooling, striking, plating, and finishing after your proof is approved.

Do I need credentials to order a Franklin Police badge?

Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency name such as the Franklin 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.
