Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a custom metal badge like the Dallas 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 round style as shown or change the center letter, the enamel color, the banner wording, 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 letter in the star be changed to a seal or a number?

Yes. The star on this badge carries a single raised letter at its center instead of a seal, which keeps the design clean and readable at a distance. We can strike your own initial, a number, or a small emblem in that position, or replace the letter with a state or city seal if you prefer the traditional layout.

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 rope rings are cut into the die beneath the enamel line, so the blue is filled over them and leveled back until the twist reads through the color.

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

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