Custom Sling Backpacks
A sling backpack rides on one shoulder and swings around to the front, so the wearer can reach a phone, keys or a water bottle without taking the bag off.
This collection holds more than 50 single-strap styles, from flat 210D polyester packs priced from $4.60 to padded laptop slings and brand-name crossbodies by Osprey, Bellroy, Thule and TUMI. Most are polyester, close to half use recycled fabric, and nearly every one has a zippered pocket and an adjustable strap. They work for festival giveaways, campus orientation kits, commuter gifts for staff and travel programs where a full backpack is more than people need.
Choosing a Sling Style
- Budget packs: thin recycled 210D polyester slings with a single zip compartment, easy to hand out by the hundred at a street fair or 5K.
- Everyday carry: padded backs, two zip compartments, front bottle pockets and ambidextrous straps that switch between the left and right shoulder.
- Tech-ready: slings for 14 and 15 inch laptops, a crossbody with a tablet sleeve, and one model with a built-in USB charging port.
- Name brands: Bellroy slings in 3L and 7L sizes, Osprey crossbodies, plus Thule, CamelBak, High Sierra, Got Bag, MiiR and a TUMI sling for executive gifts.
Decoration Options
- Full color printing: offered on most styles and handles photos, gradients and multicolor logos on smooth polyester panels.
- Embroidery: available on over 30 styles, with a stitched, raised mark that suits recycled ripstop and polycanvas fabrics.
- Screen printing: keeps a one or two color logo sharp and economical on larger runs of the lower priced packs.
A few slings can be ordered as a single piece, handy for a sample or a small batch for a leadership team, while others start as high as 150. Production generally runs 10 to 27 days depending on the style and decoration. Share your headcount and event date and we can point you to the slings that fit both the budget and the calendar.
