Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a custom metal badge like the Fontana Police design?

Yes. Owl Badges produces die-struck metal badges for police departments nationwide. This oval sunburst style can be ordered as shown, or the monument, the eagle, and the banner text can be changed to your own landmark and department. There is no setup fee and no mold fee.

Can you strike a monument or landmark up the center of a badge?

Yes. The monument here runs vertically up the full height of the badge as raised gold against a silver sunburst, with the eagle crossing it at the middle. We can strike a tower, obelisk, statue, or building the same way from artwork you supply, and show you the relief depth on your proof.

Can you build a badge in gold and silver without enamel color?

Yes. This badge uses two metal tones and black lettering only, letting the monument and eagle carry the center through relief rather than paint. A two-tone metal badge reads clean and formal, and we can set the split wherever it suits your design.

How long does production take for a badge like this?

Custom metal badges take approximately 8 to 14 weeks after proof approval, covering tooling, striking, plating, and finishing. A two-tone badge with a full-height monument relief, a crossed eagle, and a sunburst field sits toward the longer end of that window. Your design is confirmed on a free proof before any tooling is cut.

How much does a custom metal badge like this cost?

Estimated pricing runs from about $150 each at single quantities down to roughly $50 each at higher volumes, with no setup fee and no mold fee. Two-tone plating and deep relief place a badge like this at the detailed end of the range. Final pricing is confirmed with a free quote.

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

Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency name — including the Fontana Police Department — are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives, and require proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter. If you change the monument and department name to your own, no credentials are needed.
