Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a custom metal badge like the St. Cloud Police design?

Yes. Owl Badges produces die-struck metal badges for police departments nationwide. This eagle-topped oval style can be ordered as shown, or the seal, the rank line, and the banners can be changed to your own city and state. There is no setup fee and no mold fee.

Can you make this badge in silver instead of gold?

Yes. This badge is struck in polished silver throughout, with the full-color seal carrying the warmth at the center. We offer silver, gold, antique, and two-tone finishes on any design, and a silver badge often reads cooler and cleaner. We show you the finish on a free proof before any tooling is cut.

Can you leave the base plaque blank or add a badge number?

Either works. The plaque at the base of this badge is struck blank with a raised border. We can leave it that way, engrave a rank or unit into it, or number each piece in your order individually. Send the numbering with your order and it will appear on your proof.

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 struck eagle, laurel branches, three banners, 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 eagle and laurel 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 St. Cloud Police name on it?

Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency name — including the St. Cloud Police 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 department name to your own, no credentials are needed.
