Frequently Asked Questions

What metal are your badges made from?

All our badges are die-struck from solid brass — not stamped, cast, or plated plastic. Brass provides the ideal combination of durability, detail quality, and weight that professional metal badges require. The brass is then plated with your choice of finish (gold, silver, two-tone, black, or antique).

What's the difference between die-struck and stamped badges?

Die-struck badges are created using precision dies that press the design into solid metal under extreme pressure, creating crisp details, sharp lines, and deep relief. Stamped badges use a simpler process that can't achieve the same level of detail or quality. Our die-struck metal badges have a premium look and feel that stamped alternatives can't match.

What metal finishes are available?

We offer gold (24K gold plating), silver (nickel), two-tone (gold and silver combination), black (black nickel), antique (aged gold or silver), and satin (brushed metal). All finishes include tarnish-resistant coating for long-lasting appearance.

How heavy are metal badges?

Our die-struck brass badges have substantial weight — typically 2-4 ounces depending on size and design. This weight is part of what makes metal badges feel professional and authoritative compared to lightweight plastic alternatives.

What's the minimum order for metal badges?

One badge. Whether you need a single metal badge or hundreds for your organization, we handle orders of any size with the same attention to quality. Volume discounts start at 10+ badges.

How long does production take for metal badges?

Standard production is approximately 8-14 weeks from design approval. This includes die creation, striking, plating, enamel fill (if applicable), polishing, and quality inspection. Rush production may be available — contact us for expedited options.

Can I upload my organization's logo to a metal badge?

Yes. Upload your logo, emblem, crest, or seal for center placement on your metal badge. We support most image formats and our design team can optimize your artwork at no extra charge to ensure it looks perfect when die-struck into brass.

Are metal badges more durable than plastic?

Significantly more durable. Metal badges will last for years with proper care, while plastic badges typically show wear within months. The solid brass construction resists scratches, dents, and fading far better than plastic or printed alternatives.

What shapes are available for metal badges?

We offer shields, stars (5, 6, or 7 point), ovals, eagle tops, rounds, rectangles, and custom shapes — all die-struck from solid brass. If you need a unique shape, our design team can create custom dies for your organization.

Do you offer different metal finishes for different positions?

Yes. Many organizations order gold metal badges for executives and supervisors, silver for general staff, and black or two-tone for specialized units. You can mix finishes within the same order to distinguish between roles.
