About the reef edge starburst oval badge
Putting the number in the crown is the detail that sets this oval apart: it is the first thing seen when the badge is shown, which suits departments that identify officers by number. The raised panels stand clear of the starburst, so lettering stays sharp in any plating.
Use the 18-character crown plate for the number, then the three 40-character panels for rank, agency name and department. Build it in the TrueBadge Designer, or request a quote and approve a free artwork proof first. Agency verification is required for law-enforcement badges (federal, state and local law-enforcement agencies).

$160 for a single badge, $75 each at 10 and $50 each at 100 or more. Finish add-ons: Background +$20, UV colored +$20, Hard enamel +$25 per badge.
What is the turnaround?
Standard production is 8–14 weeks after proof approval; rush production is available if you list your deadline in the quote form.
Why is the number at the top?
This style places the 18-character plate in the crown so the badge number is the first thing seen.
Can I put text instead of a number in the crown plate?
Yes. It takes up to 18 characters, so a short title or unit name also fits.
What is a reef edge?
A border of small, tight leaf scrolls around the oval, struck as part of the mold.
Are the panels raised?
Yes. The ribbons and panels are struck above the starburst field, so they catch light and read clearly.
