For these, the Owl Badges in-house design team builds your armed security badge from scratch. There is no design fee, no mold setup fee, and no commitment to order.
- Fully custom shapes outside the standard catalog
- Complex multi-layer seals with raised 3D elements
- Hybrid finishes — antique, two-tone, enamel

- One-of-a-kind commemorative dies for unique shapes

How to design your armed security badge
Building a armed security badge in the Owl Badges TrueBadge Designer takes three steps — choose the shape and finish, add the company details, then review and order.
Choose shape and finish
Pick a shield or eagle-top; silver for armed officers, gold for commissioned or supervisory armed staff.
Add company name, title and number
Enter the company name, ARMED SECURITY OFFICER, the badge number, the certification level (Level III/IV, commissioned, SORA Level 2) and your logo. Every change previews on screen in real time.
Review and order
Add the design to your cart, set the quantity for the roster, and check out or submit a purchase order. The company mold is kept on file, so new hires and replacements come from the same die.

Custom Armed Security Badge Pricing
A custom armed security badge is $150 for one and as low as $45 per badge on volume orders for armed security companies — no setup fees, no mold fees, no minimum, purchase orders accepted. Companies outfitting every role at once should see the security officer badge program for the whole-company order.
Per-badge pricing varies with finish and customization. Pricing reviewed September 2026.
How many armed security badges should you order?
Order for the roster plus turnover. The company mold is kept free and every reorder matches, so most companies add about ten percent spares.
| Use case | Typical order | Why |
|---|---|---|
| One armed officer | 1–2 badges | A single armed security badge at $150. |
| An armed detail | 3–9 badges | A response team or transport crew — $90 each. |
| An armed site | 10–24 badges | All armed officers on one contract — $80 at ten. |
| Mixed armed/unarmed company | 25–500+ badges | One pattern, ARMED on the panel where it applies — as low as $45. |
Armed Security Badges at a Glance
What we recommend for a armed security badge
Shield or eagle-top with ARMED SECURITY OFFICER and the certification level on the panels; belt clip or hook-and-loop backing. Armed badges cost the same as unarmed — the designation is a panel change on the company mold. Every option is customizable in the TrueBadge Designer.
Price Calculator
How much does a custom armed security badge cost?

Armed security badges price ladder
| Quantity | Price per badge | Typical order |
|---|---|---|
| 1–2 badges | $150.00 | One officer |
| 3–9 badges | $90.00 | A post or a small firm |
| 10–15 badges | $80.00 | A site or shift |
| 16–24 badges | $75.00 | A client account |
| 25–49 badges | $65.00 | A regional team |
| 50–499 badges | $55.00 | Company-wide rebadge or new contract |
| 500+ badges | $45.00 | Enterprise and multi-state programs |
Forty-nine badges cost $3,185; fifty cost $2,750. Every break lowers the whole invoice, so a company staffing 45 officers orders 50 and gains spares for turnover — the cheapest custom security badges are the ones ordered to the next break.

Badges by Role
Which armed security badge does each role wear?
Security companies typically issue silver to officers and guards and gold to supervisors and above; the company name goes on the top panel, the logo or state seal in the center, and the badge number below. Every role below is struck from the same company mold, so a set ordered years apart still matches.
| Role | Typical finish | Typical shape | Who wears it | Ordered when |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Armed Security Officer | Silver or gold | Eagle-top, shield | Officers with firearms authorization — the armed security officer badge | Armed authorization; new contract |
| Armed Guard | Silver | Shield | Armed post guards | Site requirement for armed coverage |
| Armed Response Officer | Gold or two-tone | Eagle-top | Alarm response and patrol | Response contract |
| Armored Transport Officer | Silver | Shield, oval | Cash-in-transit crews | Fleet staffing |
| Commissioned Security Officer | Gold | Eagle-top | State-commissioned armed officers; the commissioned security officer badge | Commission issued |
| Level III / IV Armed Officer | Gold | Eagle-top | Higher armed classifications where the state defines them | Certification level |
| SORA Level 2 Armed Officer | Silver or gold | Shield | New Jersey SORA-armed officers | SORA armed endorsement |
| Armed Supervisor | Gold | Eagle-top | Supervises armed details — see the security supervisor badge page | Promotion |
An armed security badge may carry the word ARMED or the certification level on the rank panel; it never implies police authority. Companies mixing armed and unarmed officers order one pattern and vary the panel.
Replacements & Turnover
How does a armed security company replace lost or worn armed security badges?
A replacement armed security badge is struck from the company mold on file at the tier the company last ordered at — as low as $45, or $150 for a single badge — with no setup fee and no minimum, and the same badge number or the next in sequence. Production runs 8 to 14 weeks; rush is available for contract start dates.
Officer turnover
Security has turnover, so most companies order a spare allotment with every run and reissue by badge number. A departing officer’s badge is recovered and retired or reassigned; new hires draw from spares and the next reorder tops the stock up at the company tier.
Lost or stolen
Send the badge number; we strike the replacement from the mold under the same or a new number per company policy. Where a state licenses the officer, the license number can be added to the replacement.
Contract change or rebrand
A new client site, a company rename or a new logo is a rebadge: the mold is updated once and every officer’s badge comes from it, priced by total count.
If another vendor made your badges
Send photos of the front and back; our design team replicates the pattern and cuts a company mold that stays on file free.

Specs, Wear & Care
Armed Security Badge Specs, Wear and Care
An armed security badge signals armed status at a glance, so the ARMED designation, certification level and backing for a vest or belt are the specifications that matter. Every specification is a choice you make when you order; a single custom armed security badge is $150 with no setup fee and no minimum, and as low as $45 on company orders.
Armed security badge specifications
| Shapes & sizes | Eagle-top shield 2.5″ × 3.46″ · Shield 2.25″ × 3″ · Oval. A shield badge is the armed default; a badge shield in gold marks commissioned or supervisory armed officers. |
| Materials | Die-struck from raw brass, nickel silver, or zinc alloy — custom metal security badges, never plastic. A security badge metal choice is made once for the company, and a security badge design approved once serves every reorder. |
| Finishes | Gold, silver, two-tone, antique, subdued, and black for tactical details. Silver for officers, gold for supervisors is the common convention. |
| Enamel | Hard or soft enamel, color-matched to the company logo. |
| Personalization | Company name, ARMED SECURITY OFFICER or ARMED GUARD title, badge number, certification level (Level III/IV, commissioned, SORA Level 2), company logo. |
| Backing options | Belt clip and hook-and-loop are the armed defaults; safety pin for uniform shirts. |
| Price | $150 for one; $90 at three; as low as $45 on company volume orders. |
| Minimum order | None. |
| Setup / mold fees | None — the company mold is retained free for every reorder and new hire. |
| Production time | 8–14 weeks from art approval; rush available for contract start dates. |
| Origin | US-based manufacturer since 1999. |
Where it is worn, and which backing to order
| Backing | Where it is worn | Order it for |
|---|---|---|
| Belt clip | Duty belt beside the holster. | Armed officers and guards. |
| Hook-and-loop | Plate carrier or outer vest. | Response and transport officers. |
| Safety pin | Uniform shirt. | Armed post officers. |
| Wallet clip | Credential case. | Armed executive protection. |
Cleaning, care and spares
| Finish or situation | Do this | Never do this |
|---|---|---|
| Everyday, any finish | Dry microfiber; mild soap on the cloth for heavier soil, then dry completely. | Soak the badge or leave it damp. |
| Gold or silver plated | Microfiber and mild soap only. | Metal polish — it strips the plating. |
| Black or subdued | Dry cloth only. | Any polish or abrasive. |
| Weather and outdoor posts | Wipe down after rain; check the pin seam. | Leave road salt or sweat on the badge overnight. |
| Company spare stock | Sleeves, locked and dry, logged by badge number; reissue on turnover. | Loose in a drawer. |
