With stock of material and components stacked to the roof, its timely to move half our sewing workshop to a new location with larger space

We are moving half our sewing workshop to a new location in Ara  Damansara, Selangor. A few recent addition of industrial sewing machine and more new stock has really choked up our existing workshop. The new place would be focusing on pack repairs with bigger production capability while all prototypes and custom order items will remain in the old workshop. Here’s some updates of our move and details on whats happening.

We had a tough time with the machines. The one of the right weights at least 60kg! What do we use the drill press for? That is something new in the pipeline

Another reason for our move is due to our commitment to establish a backpack and general outdoor gear repair & modification service provider here in Malaysia. We offer customers more options in terms of fabric material, components and customization they can do on their gear. No more throwing out old packs or sending them away to manufacturer (months at times) for repairs. Do it locally in shorter amount of time. We have been been getting jobs from individuals as well as groups to repair gear like torn backpacks, tents, pouches and even gaiters. Our service prolongs the life of your gear, helps reduce waste and saves you money!

Some of the backpacks from brands like Karrimor, Deuter and Lafuma were being sent to our workshop for repairs

Our new sewing workshop is on the same premise with Radient Den, probably Malaysia’s best authority on LED lights and torches. The physical address is as below:

F-1-42, 1st Floor,
Jalan PJU 1A/3A,
Taipan 2, Ara Damansara,
47301 Petaling Jaya,
Selangor
Hours: By appointment only

We are very happy to meet you and show you around our workshop but due to our current workload and with limited manpower, it is best that we meet by appointment only.  You can contact us via our Contact Us page or write to us via our Garrison Packs Facebook page and let us know when you will be dropping by. We will do our very best to meet you.

A Camelbak came into our workshop with damages caused by being too close to a hot exhaust pipe

We have been getting more and more requests for backpack repair from outdoor enthusiasts (mainly based in Klang Valley). This has prompted us to consider setting up a specialized division for backpack repairs. Anyone serious about their outdoor pursuit activities will tell you that a reliable pack is important to ensure a smooth and pleasant day outdoors. Even the toughest packs would eventually break and when that happens, we hope to be there to fix it the best we can so that it can continue to serve you.

The Camelbak after repair

The Camelbak backpack repair above is one of the many we have been doing over the past month. It is encouraging to see that these sort of packs are being used by outdoor pursuit enthusiast in Malaysia. This Camelbak had a hole burnt through by the hot exhaust of a motorcross. The repair took us several hours but it really was a pleasure working on such a quality product. We try to get it repaired as close as we could to the original condition.

If you have a backpack repair that needs to be done professionally, do contact us for more information via our Contact Us page or send us a message on our Garrison Packs Facebook page. We will do our best to assist you.

  Membaik pulih bag galas backpack Karrimor Jaguar

Kami di Garrison Packs ada menyediakan khidmat membaiki backpack kesayangan anda. Baru-baru ini, kami diberi kepercayaan untuk membaiki beg galas Karrimor Jaguar XS60. Karrimor Jaguar ini milik saudara Fazlin yang jelas amat menghargai beg yang bereputasi dan berkualiti tinggi ini. Label beg mencatatkan tahun buatan 1992 di United Kingdom. Beg berusia lebih 20 tahun ini masih dalam keadaan yang baik walaupun terdapat beberapa kerosakan, terutamanya pada komponen plastik.

Garrison Packs menawarkan perkhidmatan membaik pulih, mengubah suai ataupun tempah khas beg. Kami menggunakan komponen bermutu tinggi yang kebanyakannya dikategorikan sebagai ‘spesifikasi tentera’ (military specs). Beberapa komponen plastic yang telah lusuh pada beg Karrimor in kami ubah suai dan modifikasi agar fungsi asal komponen berkenaan masih dapat berfungsi.

Antara komponen plastik yang mula rosak

Kami menggunakan komponen (fabric) ala ‘military-spec’ bagi menjamin ketahanan komponen yang kami hasilkan (kanan)

Setelah diganti dengan komponen baru

Bahagian tali pinggang beg Karrimor ini juga ada mengalami kerosakan pada komponen plastiknya. Bagi kami, ini adalah sesuatu yang biasa terutamanya pada komponen plastik pada beg-beng yang berusia lebih 10 tahun. Mesin-mesin jahit yang kami miliki di Garrison Packs dibuat khas untuk melakukan jahitan yang mantap dan mampu menembusi ketebalan yang biasanya tidak dapat dilakukan oleh mesin jahit biasa.

Tiada masalah untuk mesin jahit industri kami untuk menjahit semula fabrik yang tebal ini

Kami berharap saudara Fazlin berpuas hati dengan hasil kerja kami. Semoga beg citaan ramai beliau ini dapat kembali beraksi berjasa kepada tuannya.

Ikuti perkembangan baru kami di Garrison Packs Facebook, blog kami atau hubungi kami menerusi laman Contact Us sekiranya anda ingin mengetahu dengan lebih lanjut perkhidmatan kami membaik pulih, mengubah suai ataupun menjahit bag baru mengikut cita rasa anda.
