Frequently Asked Questions

Can you make a starburst-edge badge like this Richardson design?

Yes. The spiked points are cut into the badge outline itself, so the whole silhouette radiates outward rather than stopping at an oval or shield edge. The number and length of the points can be adjusted, and you approve the outline on a free proof before tooling.

Can the letters between the star points spell something else?

Yes. The five spaces between the points can carry TEXAS as shown, your city initials, a short motto, or be left plain. The disc and star can also strike in silver instead of gold.

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 starburst die, faceted star, and rope-rimmed disc 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 lettering fill, and hand-finishing of the spiked edge and star facets.

Can the ribbons and panel be changed for other ranks?

Yes. RICHARDSON and POLICE re-letter to your own city and agency, and the DEPT panel can carry a rank, badge number, or state name instead. Every line is confirmed on the proof.

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.
