Frequently Asked Questions

Can you make a police badge with a star seated on a raised Texas map like this Lubbock design?

Yes. The centerpiece of this badge — a full-dimension five-point star mounted directly on a sculpted relief map of Texas, backed by machined sunburst rays — is a die-struck construction our factory produces routinely. We can build the same star-on-map arrangement for your agency with your own state outline, lettering, and banner text. Submit a quote request and our artwork team will prepare a free proof before any tooling begins.

How much does a custom silver officer badge like this cost?

Estimated pricing runs from about $150 each at low quantities down to roughly $50 each at higher volumes. There is no setup fee and no mold fee, and polished silver plating like the Lubbock badge carries no premium over gold. Final pricing is confirmed with a free quote based on your finished design, size, and quantity.

How long does production take for a die-struck badge like this?

Approximately 8 to 14 weeks after proof approval. That window covers tooling the die, striking the badge in solid metal, plating, and hand-finishing details like the map relief and the beaded border. Your design is locked at the proof stage, so there are no surprises in production.

Can we order this design in gold or two-tone instead of polished silver?

Yes. The same die works in polished gold, polished silver, or a two-tone mix, and selective plating is available as well — for example, a gold badge body with the center star finished in silver. Many departments order supervisor ranks in a second finish to distinguish them at a glance.

Can the OFFICER banner carry a different rank or a badge number?

Yes. The black-filled banner below the Texas map can read SERGEANT, LIEUTENANT, DETECTIVE, or any rank your department uses, and the bottom TEXAS panel can be swapped for a badge number or left as the state name. Rank sets ordered together keep the same die and stay visually uniform across the department.

Do we need credentials to order a badge with a real department name on it?

Yes. Badges bearing a real agency or department name are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Law enforcement buyers provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. Custom or fictional department designs, and versions where you change the name to your own agency, are welcome without that step.
