Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a custom metal badge like the Palm Springs 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 building, seal, and banner text can be replaced with your own landmark and department details. There is no setup fee and no mold fee.

Can you strike a local landmark like the clock tower on this badge?

Yes. The tower, the low wings, and the palm trees here are struck into the die as raised gold relief rather than enameled or printed. We can build your own city hall, courthouse, bridge, or other landmark the same way from artwork or photographs you supply, and we will show the struck relief on your proof.

Can you leave the base plaque blank or add badge numbers to it?

Either works. The plaque on this badge is struck blank with a raised border. We can leave it that way, engrave a rank or unit into it, or number each piece in your order individually. Send the numbering with your order and it will appear on your proof.

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 this much architectural relief and a separate enamel medallion 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 architectural 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 Palm Springs Police name on it?

Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency name — including the Palm Springs 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 seal and department name to your own, no credentials are needed.
