Frequently Asked Questions

Can you strike two textures on the same field like this Nacogdoches design?

Yes. The rays above and pebble grain below are both cut into a single die, with the seam hidden behind the center emblem, so every badge strikes the split identically. The artwork team can pair any two textures — rays, pebble, crosshatch, or smooth polish — or run one texture edge to edge, set on a free proof before tooling.

Does a long city name like NACOGDOCHES fit on the ribbon?

Yes. The ribbon sweep and letter spacing are drawn to your name, so an eleven-letter city sits as comfortably as a five-letter one. Very long names can also split across two lines or shift to an arc, and the artwork proof shows the fit exactly before anything is struck.

What 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 enamel map, full-color seal, and dual-texture die work are all included in that range, confirmed with a free quote.

How long does production take?

Approximately 8 to 14 weeks after proof approval, covering die tooling, striking in solid metal, two-tone plating, the blue and seal enamel fills, and hand-finishing across both field textures.

Can the map and seal be adapted for our own department?

Yes. The blue Texas map can strike in your department color or swap to your own state outline, the seal can carry your municipal or county seal in full color, and POLICE OFFICER on the crown re-letters to any rank or agency wording — all from one die for a uniform set.

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.
