Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a custom metal badge like the Reno County Sheriff design?

Yes. Owl Badges produces die-struck metal badges for sheriff’s offices and departments nationwide. This six-point star style can be ordered as shown, or the seal and the four lettering zones can be changed to your own county, state, and department. There is no setup fee and no mold fee.

How many lines of text can a star badge carry?

This one carries four: a rank banner, a department line, a county scroll, and a state plaque. Four is about the practical limit on a star this size before the letters get too small to read at a distance, and we lay them out against your actual wording on the proof so you can see the spacing before any tooling is cut.

Can you reproduce a detailed state seal like the Kansas seal here?

Yes. The medallion runs full color across several separate cells, with the sky, the hills, the land, the bison, the wagon, and the plow figure each recessed and filled individually, and the motto arc struck fine above them. We can reproduce a state, county, or municipal seal the same way from artwork you supply. Agencies are responsible for confirming they are authorized to use a given state seal on their badges.

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 badge with a pebbled arm fill, four lettering zones, and a multi-color seal 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. The struck texture and the number of enamel colors in the seal 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 Reno County Sheriff name on it?

Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency name — including the Reno County Sheriff’s 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 county name to your own, no credentials are needed.
