Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a custom metal badge like the El Paso 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 state map, the seal, the founding date, 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 gold map be plated silver or filled with enamel?

Yes. The map and star on this badge are both gold on a silver field, so the center reads as one warm shape with the black seal ring as its only contrast. We can plate the map in silver to match the field with only the star in gold, fill the map with enamel, or strike the whole badge in a single tone.

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, plating, and finishing after your proof is approved. With no enamel on this design, the fill stage drops out and the time goes into the two-tone plating, which is masked around the gold map, star, banners and plate so their edges stay sharp.

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

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