How Much Does a Custom Badge Cost?
Custom police badges typically range from $85.50 to $229.00 depending on the badge style, finish, seal, enamel type, and other customization options.
At Badge & Wallet, our most affordable custom badges start at $85.50. This price is based on a standard silver finish badge with a plain seal and basic customization options.
At the other end of the spectrum, our most deluxe two-tone badges can cost up to $229.00, depending on the options selected.
What Affects the Price of a Badge?
Several customization options can increase or decrease the price of a badge:
Finish
The finish is one of the biggest factors affecting price. Upgrading from silver to gold or selecting a two-tone badge will increase the cost.
Seal Options
Many badges can be customized with state, municipal, military, or organizational seals.
Adding a seal with color typically increases the price.
Enamel Type
Badges can often be produced with either soft enamel or hard enamel.
Hard enamel is shinier and more durable, but more expensive than soft enamel.
Badge Construction
Options such as a Solid Back increase the price as well.
The Easiest Way to See Badge Pricing
Our online VisualBadge builder updates the price as you customize your badge.
As you select different finishes, seal options, enamel types, and other features, the displayed price updates automatically so you can see exactly how each choice impacts the total cost.
This allows you to compare options and build a badge that fits both your department's specifications and budget.
What About Custom Seals?
If your department requires a completely custom seal, there may be an additional artwork and setup charge.
In many cases, these fees are only a few hundred dollars and are waived for qualifying orders of 25 badges or more.
Custom seals are an excellent option for departments that want to incorporate their own logo, patch design, or municipal emblem into their badge.
