Frequently Asked Questions

Can you add rank stars to a badge like this Rosenberg design?

Yes. Rank stars can sit on a base panel as shown, or on the top ribbon, in any count from one to five. They are struck in raised gold on black enamel so they read at a distance, and you approve the spacing on a free proof before tooling.

Why use black enamel ribbons on a gold badge?

Black enamel behind raised gold letters gives the strongest possible contrast, so every line stays readable even at small sizes. The ribbons can also be filled in navy, dark green, or left in bright metal with black letters instead.

What does a badge like this cost?

Estimated pricing runs from about $150 each at low quantities down to roughly $50 each at higher volumes, with no setup fee and no mold fee. The laurel rim, black ribbons, red seal ring, and star panel are all included in that range, confirmed with a free quote.

How long does production take?

Approximately 8 to 14 weeks after proof approval, covering die tooling, striking in solid metal, gold plating, the black and red enamel fills, and hand-finishing of the laurel rim and stars.

Can the CITY OF ribbon and star panel carry other text?

Yes. The top ribbon can read TOWN OF, a rank, or a unit name, and the base panel can hold a badge number or title instead of stars. ROSENBERG and POLICE re-letter to your own city and agency.

Do we need credentials to order a badge with a real city name on it?

Yes. Badges bearing a real agency or department name are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Law enforcement and public-safety buyers provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. Fictional or fully customized designs with your own name are welcome without that step.
