Custom Security Guard Badges
Design Yours Online
Custom metal security guard badges built for uniformed guards, patrol officers, and protection teams on post. A guard's badge is the first thing people see at the door, the gate, or on patrol — so it carries your company name, guard title, badge number, and post or site identifier for clear, professional presence. Die-struck from solid brass and plated in gold, silver, two-tone, or black, and built to hold up through long shifts, mobile patrols, and every kind of weather.

How to design your security guard badge
Building a security guard badge in the Owl Badges TrueBadge Designer takes three steps — choose the shape and finish, add the company details, then review and order.
Choose shape and finish
Pick a plain shield or oval — the simplest, most durable guard shapes — in silver.
Add company name, title and number
Enter the company name, GUARD or SECURITY, the badge number and the post or site identifier; add the guard-card number where your state requires it. Every change previews on screen in real time.
Review and order
Add the design to your cart, set the quantity for the roster, and check out or submit a purchase order. The company mold is kept on file, so new hires and replacements come from the same die.

Custom Security Guard Badge Pricing
A custom security guard badge is $150 for one and as low as $45 per badge on volume orders for guard companies — no setup fees, no mold fees, no minimum, purchase orders accepted. Companies outfitting every role at once should see the security officer badge program for the whole-company order.

Badges by Role
Which security guard badge does each role wear?
Security companies typically issue silver to officers and guards and gold to supervisors and above; the company name goes on the top panel, the logo or state seal in the center, and the badge number below. Every role below is struck from the same company mold, so a set ordered years apart still matches.
| Role | Typical finish | Typical shape | Who wears it | Ordered when |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unarmed Security Guard | Silver | Shield, oval | Post guards and access control — the standard guard badge | Site staffing; state guard-card issue |
| Patrol Officer | Silver | Shield, eagle-top | Foot and vehicle patrol | Mobile patrol contract |
| Gate / Access Control | Silver | Oval, shield | Lobbies, gates, parking | New client site |
| Retail Loss Prevention | Silver or two-tone | Shield | Store-floor guards; loss prevention badges have their own page | Retail contract |
| Event Security Guard | Silver | Oval | Venue, stadium and festival staffing | Event season |
| Concierge / Lobby Officer | Silver or two-tone | Oval | Corporate and residential lobbies | New building contract |
| Mobile Patrol Guard | Silver | Shield, eagle-top | Route patrol across sites | Route expansion |
| Guard Supervisor | Gold | Eagle-top | Runs the guard shift — see the security supervisor badge page | Promotion |
A guard badge is silver by convention; a guard supervisor goes gold. Badge for security guards ordered as a company set are struck with sequential badge numbers and, where the state requires it, the guard-card number.
Replacements & Turnover
How does a guard company replace lost or worn security guard badges?
A replacement security guard badge is struck from the company mold on file at the tier the company last ordered at — as low as $45, or $150 for a single badge — with no setup fee and no minimum, and the same badge number or the next in sequence. Production runs 8 to 14 weeks; rush is available for contract start dates.
Officer turnover
Security has turnover, so most companies order a spare allotment with every run and reissue by badge number. A departing officer’s badge is recovered and retired or reassigned; new hires draw from spares and the next reorder tops the stock up at the company tier.
Lost or stolen
Send the badge number; we strike the replacement from the mold under the same or a new number per company policy. Where a state licenses the officer, the license number can be added to the replacement.
Contract change or rebrand
A new client site, a company rename or a new logo is a rebadge: the mold is updated once and every officer’s badge comes from it, priced by total count.
If another vendor made your badges
Send photos of the front and back; our design team replicates the pattern and cuts a company mold that stays on file free.

Specs, Wear & Care
Security Guard Badge Specs, Wear and Care
A guard badge lives outdoors and on long shifts, so the specifications favor durability: solid metal, plating that resists weather, and a backing that survives a shift on the gate. Every specification is a choice you make when you order; a single custom security guard badge is $150 with no setup fee and no minimum, and as low as $45 on company orders.

| Enamel | Hard or soft enamel, color-matched to the company logo. |
