Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a custom metal badge like the Brenham 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 laurel-bordered oval as shown or change the map, the ribbon wording, the rank line, 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 the flag-filled Texas map be changed or used for another state?

Yes. The Texas outline on this badge is a struck recess filled with three enamel colors that meet along the flag lines inside the map, rather than a printed insert. We can fill the same outline in a single color, set a seal or star into it, or swap it for any other state or county outline with its own flag.

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. The three flag colors inside the map are filled and leveled one at a time so the boundaries stay sharp, and the two-tone plating is masked around the gold ribbons afterward.

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

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