Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order an all-silver tonal badge like this Garland design?

Yes. This Garland Police badge carries its entire design — eagle crest, city seal, wheat sprays and five lines of lettering — in polished silver relief with no enamel anywhere, and that tonal treatment can be reproduced exactly or adapted for your own agency. Depth and shadow do the work that color does on enamel badges.

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

Yes. This design is a starting point. Our artwork team can swap the star-G City of Garland seal for your own municipal or state seal, change GARLAND, POLICE and DEPARTMENT to your agency wording, update the 1951 panel to your own founding year, and finish the badge in silver as shown or 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 specialty unit or replacement badges, with sharper pricing at larger quantities for a department the size of Garland’s.

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 metal badge?

Custom die-struck metal badges take approximately 8 to 14 weeks for tooling, striking, plating, and finishing after your proof is approved. A tonal badge with no enamel fill moves through the same schedule. Your design is confirmed before production starts, so there are no surprises.

Do I need credentials to order a Garland Police badge?

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