Behind the Scenes at the Atom X Sling Manufacturing Process
All ALPAKA products are manufactured with the highest quality and attention to detail in our factory.
Our design process consists of:
- Drawing up several designs
- Settling on an external design
- Plan internal organisation
- Have a final 2D and 3D drawing
- Order fabrics and parts
- Produce several prototypes
- Test durability, waterproofness and usability
- Go into production
With the Atom X Sling, we decided to do a short pre-order (3 weeks) and ship almost immediately after pre-orders end (a week after). We could only do this with a smaller bag that has a shorter production cycle.
The Atom X Sling comes in 2 types of external fabrics. Both fabrics are extremely hardwearing and weatherproof.
We're excited to be able to use X-Pac in the Atom X Sling. We'll have a dedicated blog post on this type of material soon.
Here is a short video we produced recently showing the stitching and assembly of the new Atom X Sling:
We use a combination of laser cutting and machine stitching to cut and sew the bags. See the video below:
Pre-orders are set to ship on or just after the 30th of June. Atom X Sling will be available to order shortly thereafter.
