Frequently Asked Questions

Can you add rank chevrons to a badge like this Schertz design?

Yes. Rank chevrons are struck in raised relief on a small base tab, so the rank reads at a glance even without the ribbon. One, two, or three chevrons, rockers, or bars can be used, and you approve the insignia on a free proof before tooling.

Can we order the same badge for several ranks?

Yes. One design can be produced in a set for every rank, changing the top ribbon and the insignia on the base tab while keeping the rest of the badge identical. This keeps a department matched from officer to chief.

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, raised map, seal disc, and chevron tab 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 lettering fill, and hand-finishing of the laurel and chevrons.

Can this badge be made in silver or two-tone?

Yes. The same die strikes in silver, gold, or two-tone, with the map and ribbons in one metal and the oval in the other. SCHERTZ and POLICE DEPARTMENT 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.
