Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a custom metal badge like the Bullard 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 silver eagle-top shield as shown or change the seal, the banner wording, the rank line, and the field finish 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.

Why is the plate at the base blank, and what can go on it?

Yes. The plate at the base of this badge is struck blank so each officer’s number can be engraved after plating, which keeps one die serving the whole department. We can engrave the numbers before shipping, strike a fixed number into the die for a single badge, or replace the plate with a rank word or a date.

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 black field is applied after plating and masked off every polished element, so the finishing stage runs a little longer than it does on a plain silver badge.

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

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