Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a custom metal badge like the Crowley 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 gold oval as shown or change the seal, the banner wording, the enamel color, the star 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 black enamel be changed to another color or removed?

Yes. This badge uses black enamel as the ground for every piece of lettering, with the banners, the seal disc and the star plate all filled and the gold letters struck through the fill. We can run the same layout in navy, maroon or any solid color, fill only the banners and leave the seal bare, or drop the enamel and use black-filled lettering on bare gold instead.

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 black as the only enamel color, the fill stage runs in a single pass across the banners, plate and seal, and the badge goes to polish once the fill has cured flat.

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

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