Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a badge with ornate lettering like this Gainesville design?

Yes. This Gainesville Police badge carries its identity in typography — GAINESVILLE on a gold band behind an ornamental scrollwork initial G — instead of a seal or emblem, and that lettering treatment can be reproduced or set with your own city name and initial. Decorative letterforms are cut into the die during tooling, so the flourishes stay sharp at duty-badge size.

Can you personalize the rank banner and blank nameplate on this badge?

Yes. The POLICE OFFICER banner takes any rank, and the blank gold panel at the base takes an officer name or badge number, engraved or struck. Our artwork team can also change the TEXAS plate and POLICE banner to your own wording and finish the badge in two-tone as shown or all gold or silver. 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 Gainesville’s, a specialty unit, or replacement badges, with sharper pricing at larger quantities.

How much does a custom two-tone 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. Two-tone plating is included in the quote, which depends on the size, plating, and quantity, and is confirmed free of charge.

How long does production take for a metal badge?

Custom die-struck metal badges take approximately 8 to 14 weeks for tooling, striking, plating, and finishing after your proof is approved. Individual name or number personalization is applied during finishing and adds no extra lead time. Your design is confirmed before production starts.

Do I need credentials to order a Gainesville Police badge?

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