Frequently Asked Questions

Can you make a chaplain badge on an eagle-topped shield like this Lufkin design?

Yes. Chaplain badges are a specialty order we produce alongside regular duty ranks — the eagle-topped silver shield, laurel wreath edges, and gold banner stack shown here can carry CHAPLAIN for your department exactly as it does for Lufkin. The artwork team prepares a free proof with your city name and seal before any tooling begins.

How much does a two-tone shield badge like this cost?

Estimated pricing runs from about $150 each at low quantities down to roughly $50 each at higher volumes, with no setup fee and no mold fee. Chaplain badges are often ordered in small counts, and single-piece and low-quantity orders are welcome at the same quality standard as full department sets.

What is the production time for a badge with an enamel seal like this?

Approximately 8 to 14 weeks after proof approval. That covers tooling the shield die, striking in solid metal, two-tone plating, filling the red and navy enamel of the State of Texas seal medallion, and hand-finishing the eagle and wreath detail.

Can the same shield carry other titles besides CHAPLAIN?

Yes. The top arc accepts any title — OFFICER, SERGEANT, DETECTIVE, CAPTAIN, RESERVE, HONOR GUARD — struck from the same die so your whole department stays uniform. The LUFKIN ribbon and TX panel change to your own city and state as needed.

Can we adjust the plating or the seal on this design?

Yes. The shield works in all-silver, all-gold, or the reverse two-tone with a gold body and silver banners, and the center medallion can carry your own state seal, city seal, or department emblem in place of the State of Texas seal shown here.

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

Yes. Badges bearing a real agency or department name are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives, and that includes chaplain and reserve titles. Buyers provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. Fictional or fully customized designs with your own name are welcome without that step.
