Frequently Asked Questions

Can you give our badge a rope border like this San Benito design?

Yes. A twisted rope border is struck around the full oval rim in raised relief, giving the edge a braided texture that catches light. It can be paired with crossed studs as shown or left plain, and you approve the border on a free proof before tooling.

What is the gold leaf mount behind the seal?

The leaf mount is a sculpted spray of gold leaves that sits behind the seal disc and spreads toward the ribbons, lifting the seal off the field. It can be kept, replaced with a wreath, or removed for a flatter center.

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 rope border, leaf mount, and red and blue seal enamel 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, two-tone plating, the red, blue, and black enamel fills, and hand-finishing of the rope border and leaf mount.

Can the CHIEF ribbon carry a different rank?

Yes. The second ribbon can read OFFICER, SERGEANT, LIEUTENANT, CAPTAIN, or any title, and SAN BENITO re-letters to your own city. The TEXAS panel can hold a badge number instead.

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.
