Frequently Asked Questions

Can you make an all-gold badge with no enamel color like this Port Isabel design?

Yes. Every element here is struck in gold relief, with only black fill in the lettering, so the eagle, laurel, and engraved seal carry the design through polish and depth alone. It is a traditional look that stays crisp for years, and you approve the engraving depth on a free proof before tooling.

Can a color seal be added later to the same design?

Yes. The same die can strike the seal as engraved metal, as shown, or leave it recessed for a full-color state, city, or county seal. Many departments keep an engraved duty version and a color dress version from one design.

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 sculpted eagle, laurel flanks, and engraved seal 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, gold plating, the black lettering fill, and hand-finishing of the eagle and laurel relief.

Can the ribbons carry our own city and a rank?

Yes. PORT ISABEL and POLICE DEPT re-letter to your own city and agency, a rank line or badge number can be added on a third ribbon, and the scroll at the base can carry a state name or date.

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.
