Frequently Asked Questions

Can you fill the Texas map in black like this Sansom Park badge?

Yes. A solid black fill turns the map into a silhouette map that reads instantly against silver or gold, and it gives a raised star in front of it the strongest possible contrast. Blue, flag colors, or bright metal are also options, and you approve the fill on a free proof before tooling.

Why use two textures in the background?

Fine rays above and a textured grain below separate the top ribbon from the lower lettering and help the map and star stand forward. Either area can be changed to plain polish or a full sunburst.

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 star, black map enamel, seal disc, and two-texture field 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, silver plating, the black enamel fills, and hand-finishing of the star points and map edges.

Can the TX tab carry a badge number instead?

Yes. The base tab can hold an individual badge number, a rank, or a unit name, and the POLICE OFFICER ribbon re-letters to SERGEANT, CHIEF, or any title. SANSOM PARK re-letters to your own city.

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.
