Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a custom metal badge like the Commerce 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 oval style as shown or change the seal, the banner wording, the motto 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.

Can the motto plate carry different wording?

Yes. The plate at the base of this badge carries IN GOD WE TRUST on two lines, struck into the die so every badge in the run reads the same. We can put your own motto, a department value, or a badge number on that plate, run it on one line or two, or leave it blank for engraving.

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. With enamel confined to the seal, the fill stage is short, and the time goes into the two field textures, which are cut into the die before the first strike.

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

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