Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a custom metal badge like the Carrollton 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 motto words, the founding date, the seal, the banner wording, 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 ring carry our own founding date and motto words?

Yes. The ring on this badge shares its space between a founding date across the top and three motto words around the sides and base, all struck as raised gold lettering on the silver disc. We can put your own date and values in the same positions, drop the date to make room for a fourth word, or run the ring blank for a plainer look.

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 raised flags are struck so each fold holds its shape under the enamel.

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

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