Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a custom metal badge like the Conroe 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 seal, the banner wording, the enamel color, 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.

What is the blue plate at the base, and can it carry a number?

Yes. The plate at the base of this badge is filled edge to edge with blue enamel and carries no lettering, which gives the badge a block of color without a number. We can engrave a number through the enamel, strike lettering into the plate before filling, change the blue to your department color, or leave the plate as bare metal.

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 blue enamel in the plate and ribbon tips is filled in one pass, and the two-tone plating is masked around the gold banners afterward.

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

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