Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a custom metal badge like the Bryan 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 eagle-top shield style as shown or change the seal, the banner wording, the rank plate, 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.

What can go on the star plate at the base?

Yes. The plate at the base of this badge carries a single black star and no text, so rank is shown by symbol rather than by a word. We can strike it with one, two or three stars, a bar, a chevron pattern, or a rank word, and the same plate can carry a badge number instead if you prefer.

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, plating, and finishing after your proof is approved. With no enamel on this design, the fill stage drops out and the time goes into the pebbled texture and the eagle relief, both of which are cut into the die before the first strike.

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

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