Frequently Asked Questions

Can you make side lettering that follows the curve of the badge like this Mesquite design?

Yes. The navy enamel arcs running down each shoulder — city name on one side, state on the other, in silver letters set along the border curve — are struck into the die itself, so the lettering stays crisp at any order size. Your own city and state drop into the same arcs on a free proof before tooling.

Can the center star be made this large on our badge?

Yes. The oversized star is a deliberate scale choice this die is built around, reaching nearly rim to rim, and it can strike in gold as shown, in silver against a gold body, or with a seal set into the star face instead of below it. The proof shows the exact proportions before anything is tooled.

How much does a 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. The navy side arcs, flag enamels, and seal medallion are all included in that range, confirmed with a free quote.

What is the production timeline?

Approximately 8 to 14 weeks after proof approval, covering die tooling, striking in solid metal, two-tone plating, the navy and flag enamel fills, and hand-finishing of the rope ring and star facets.

Can other ranks use this same design?

Yes. The OFFICER crown arc re-letters to SERGEANT, LIEUTENANT, CHIEF, or any title your department uses, with the side arcs and POLICE banner unchanged, so the full rank structure wears one uniform design from a single die.

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.
