Frequently Asked Questions

Can you put a full-color state seal on an all-gold badge like this Manvel design?

Yes. Setting one full-color enamel element against a single-plating gold field is a signature look we produce often — here the State of Texas seal with its blue disc, gold star, and green olive and live oak branches. We can render your own state or municipal seal in the same full color at the center of this shield, shown on a free proof before tooling.

What does a gold supervisor 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. Supervisor and rank badges are commonly ordered in small counts alongside a main officer set, and low-quantity orders carry the same estimate range with a free confirmed quote.

How long does production take for a badge with a color seal?

Approximately 8 to 14 weeks after proof approval. The schedule covers tooling the shield die, striking in solid metal, gold plating, the multi-color enamel work in the seal, and hand-finishing of the eagle crown and engraved wreath relief.

Can the SUPERVISOR title be changed for other ranks in our department?

Yes. The crown arc re-letters to OFFICER, SERGEANT, CORPORAL, LIEUTENANT, or any title in your rank structure, all from the same die so the department set stays uniform. The MANVEL ribbon and TX panel change to your own city and state at the same time.

Can this design be made in silver or two-tone instead of all gold?

Yes. The same shield strikes in polished silver or in two-tone — for example a silver body with gold banners — and the color seal carries over unchanged in every plating. Some departments use the plating switch itself to separate ranks between patrol and supervisors.

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

Yes. Badges bearing a real agency or department name are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Law enforcement and public-safety 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.
