Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a custom metal badge like the Blanco Police design?

Yes. Owl Badges produces custom die-struck metal badges for police departments, sheriff’s offices, and constable offices nationwide. You can order this two-tone oval style as shown or change the building relief, the flags, the disc lettering, and the plating split to fit your own department. Badges carrying a real agency name require credential verification before production.

What is the minimum order for a police badge like this?

There is a low minimum order. Single badges are available for individual officers, and per-piece pricing drops sharply as quantity rises, which makes larger runs practical for an entire department or a promotion cycle at once.

Can you strike a local landmark or building into a badge like this?

Yes. The building on this badge is struck into the gold field as a full relief, with the tower, roofline and window rows all cut into the die rather than printed or applied. We can model your courthouse, city hall, or another local landmark the same way from a photograph or drawing you supply, in gold or silver.

How much does a custom metal badge like this cost?

Estimated pricing runs from about $150 each at a single piece down to roughly $50 each at higher volumes. There is no setup fee and no mold fee. Final pricing depends on the finished design, size, and quantity, and is confirmed with a free quote.

How long does production take?

Approximately 8 to 14 weeks for tooling, striking, enamel fill, plating, and finishing after your proof is approved. A two-tone badge is plated in two passes with the second tone masked, and the building relief adds die-cutting time before the first strike.

Do I need credentials to order a badge with the Blanco Police name on it?

Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency or department name are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Blanco police buyers provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. Custom or fictional department designs, and designs where you substitute your own agency name, are welcome without that step.
