Custom Private Security Badges
Design Yours Online
Custom metal private security badges built for contract security firms, corporate security teams, and the officers who protect commercial property. Because a private security officer is identified on sight — at building lobbies, corporate campuses, retail centers, and event entrances — your badge carries your company name, officer title, badge number, and company logo for clear, professional authority. Die-struck from solid brass, plated in gold, silver, or two-tone, and built for daily duty wear. As low as $45 per badge on volume orders. No minimums. Order online or request a quote.

For these, the Owl Badges in-house design team builds your private 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
- Inlaid stones & memorial badges with photographic elements
- One-of-a-kind commemorative dies for unique shapes
Custom quotes typically returned within 4 business hours, Mon–Fri 9 AM–4 PM PST.
How to design your private security badge
Building a private 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 an eagle-top shield, oval, or a flat oval for wallet carry; company logo in the center, never a government seal.
Add company name, title and number
Enter the company name, the officer title your license allows, the badge number and your logo; PPO or guard license number where required. 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 Private Security Badge Pricing
A custom private security badge is $150 for one and as low as $45 per badge on volume orders for private security firms — 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 private 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 officer | 1–2 badges | A single private security badge at $150. |
| A detail | 3–9 badges | An executive protection detail or small firm — $90 each. |
| A contract site | 10–24 badges | All officers on one client contract — $80 at ten. |
| Firm-wide | 25–500+ badges | Firm rebadge or new logo across every officer — as low as $45. |
Private Security Badges at a Glance
What we recommend for a private security badge

Private 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 |

| 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 private 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private Security Officer | Silver | Shield, eagle-top | Contract-firm officers on client sites | New contract; new-hire batch |
| Corporate Security Officer | Silver or two-tone | Shield | In-house corporate security teams | Department rebadge |
| Executive Protection Agent | Gold or two-tone | Oval, flat for wallet | Close-protection details; executive protection badges are carried, not pinned | New principal or detail |
| Bodyguard / Personal Protection Officer | Gold | Oval | Licensed PPOs; the bodyguard badge and personal protection officer badges | State PPO license |
| Hospital Security Officer | Silver | Shield | Healthcare campus security | Hospital contract |
| Campus / Residential Officer | Silver | Oval, shield | Universities, HOAs, gated communities | Campus or community contract |
| Private Security Investigator | Gold | Oval, wallet clip | Firm investigators; private investigator badges have their own page | Investigative assignment |
| Private Security Supervisor | Gold | Eagle-top | Firm supervisors — see the security supervisor badge page | Promotion |
Private security badges name the company, never a government agency, and carry the officer title the state license allows. Silver for officers, gold for supervisors and protection specialists is the common convention; the firm decides.
Replacements & Turnover
How does a private security firm replace lost or worn private security badges?
A replacement private 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.
After You Order
What happens after you order a private security badge
Six steps, and you hear from us at three of them — the proof, the verification, and the call before it ships.
You set up company name and logo in the center — never a state seal — and the officer title your license allows.
You receive a proof of the company pattern and title panel — usually the same business day — and nothing strikes until you approve it.
Before production, we confirm the company; PPO or guard license numbers are added where required.
Die-struck in 8–14 weeks. Some orders can be rushed to 6–10 weeks depending on the design; we confirm what is possible once the order is placed.
We call to confirm the shipping address, then email the tracking number.
Flat ovals with wallet clips for executive-protection details, standard shields for site officers, each individually packed.
From our orders
Executive-protection and corporate teams order in small sets and specify wallet carry; contract firms order by site.

Specs, Wear & Care
Private Security Badge Specs, Wear and Care
A private security badge names the company, not a government agency, and the specifications keep that distinction visible: company name on the top panel, company logo in the center, no state or municipal seal unless the license allows it. Every specification is a choice you make when you order; a single custom private security badge is $150 with no setup fee and no minimum, and as low as $45 on company orders.
Private security badge specifications
| Shapes & sizes | Eagle-top shield 2.5″ × 3.46″ · Oval 2.25″ × 3.13″ · Flat oval for wallet carry (executive protection). Private security badges avoid police-pattern shapes where state rules require it. |
| 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, officer title, badge number, company logo; PPO or guard license number where the state requires it. |
| Backing options | Safety pin standard; wallet clip for executive protection and corporate plainclothes. |
| 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Safety pin | Uniform shirt. | Contract officers on client sites. |
| Wallet clip | Credential case. | Executive protection agents, bodyguards, PPOs. |
| Belt clip | Duty belt. | Corporate patrol. |
| Hook-and-loop | Outer carrier. | Armed private security details. |
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. |
