Style 8-D13-2CMB at a glance

A clean oval with a braided edge, a full sunburst and just three panels: an arched ribbon across the top and two flat bands stacked under the seal. Leaving out the number box gives the sunburst more room, and the braided rim reads like woven cord around the badge.

About the braided edge oval badge

This is the simplest layout among our sunburst ovals, which makes it a good choice when the badge only needs a rank, a department and a city. The braided edge is the standout detail — a woven border that looks richer than a plain line rim, especially in 24K gold or antique plating.

All three panels take up to 40 characters, so even long agency names fit on one line. Design and order it in the TrueBadge Designer, or request a quote and we'll lay out your wording and send a free proof to approve.

Braided edge oval badge questions

Does this oval have a badge-number panel?

No. It has three 40-character panels and no number box, which suits ranks and positions that don't carry a number. If you need one, add it to the bottom panel's wording.

What does the braided edge look like?

A woven, cord-like rim struck all the way around the oval, framing the sunburst. It shows up best in polished gold, silver or antique finishes.

How much does this badge cost?

$160 for a single badge, $75 each at 10 and $50 each at 100 or more, with free mold and setup. Finish add-ons are Background +$20, UV colored +$20 and Hard enamel +$25 per badge.

Is this a good retirement badge?

Yes. The simple layout leaves room for a rank, the department and a retirement line, and the braided rim gives it a presentation look.

How long does production take?

Standard production is 8–14 weeks from artwork approval. Rush production is available; enter your date in the quote form and we quote the rush timing for your order.

How is it different from your five-panel oval?

This style keeps to three long panels and a braided edge for a cleaner face; the five-panel oval adds a rank-star ribbon and a base box.
