Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a badge with a state map background like this Gladewater design?

Yes. This Gladewater Police badge strikes the outline of Texas into the silver field behind its center star, a subtle shallow-relief backdrop rather than a foreground element. That map can be reproduced or replaced with your own state outline, and it can be left tonal as shown or filled with enamel.

Can you change the star lettering and rank banner on this badge?

Yes. This design is a starting point. CITY OF and GLADEWATER are struck across the star’s arms and take your own city and agency wording, the POLICE OFFICER banner takes any rank, and the POLICE banner and TX base plate can be reworded. You receive a free proof before any tooling or production begins.

Can you change the seal or the flags on this badge?

Yes. The blue State of Texas seal can be swapped for your own state or municipal seal, and the flag pair can be changed to your own state flag beside the national flag, or dropped entirely for a cleaner center. Our artwork team proofs the change with you before tooling.

What is the minimum order for a custom metal badge like this?

Metal badges carry a low minimum order, and per-piece pricing drops as quantity rises. Small runs are welcome for a department the size of Gladewater’s, a specialty unit, or replacement badges, with sharper pricing at larger quantities.

How much does a custom two-tone metal badge like this cost?

Estimated pricing ranges from about $150 each at low quantities down to roughly $50 each at higher volumes. There is no setup fee and no mold fee. Two-tone plating is included in the quote, which depends on the size, plating, and quantity, and is confirmed free of charge.

Do I need credentials to order a Gladewater Police badge?

Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency name such as the Gladewater Police Department are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Public-safety buyers provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production. Custom or renamed designs for your own department are welcome without that step.
