Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a custom metal badge like the Blue Mound 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 black enamel oval style as shown or change the state map, the banner wording, the founding date, and the plating 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 the black enamel field be a different color, or left as bare metal?

Yes. The black enamel is fired into recessed areas of the die so the gold rim, banners and map stand proud of it. We can fill those same recesses in navy, dark green, maroon or any solid color, run a lighter tone in the field with black kept to the banners, or leave the field bare metal for an all-gold badge.

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 badge with this much enamel coverage is filled in stages and leveled between them so the black field cures flat before the seal and flags go in.

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

Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency or department name are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Blue Mound 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.
