TGA Featured Members
Packablez LLC – DBA Traveling Bags
Traveling Bags has been the place to shop for luggage and bag repair in Southeast Wisconsin since its founding in 1998. Its recent owners, Burt & Holly Robertson, have expanded its selection to include new luggage and casual bag lines, travel accessories and more, along with a new, larger storefront and space for a full time, full service travel agent to assist travelers.
“Helping people travel better, safer and without hassle is our passion, “states Burt Robertson. “We repair luggage and bags of all kinds and are the Authorized Warranty Repair Center for many brands. Our repair technicians are top notch and we seldom run into issues we can't resolve.”
As their business continues to grow, Burt and Holly plan to add new services such as custom embossing and embroidery to personalize purchases. They also look forward to future growth after COVID-19 with plans to facilitate better repairs by implementing 3D printing and CNC production of small parts that manufacturers simply won't or can't supply. Or, in some cases, repairs that aren't possible because of a lack of support and parts.
For more information, visit TravelingBagsMKE.com or contact Burt Robertson at Burt@TravelingBagsMKE.com; 414-817-0222.

TESTIMONIALS
WORDS FROM HAPPY MEMBERS
-
TGA’s media network and its resulting coverage keeps our industry dynamic and gives our customers good reason to retire their old travel gear and buy the latest and greatest.
-
I’ve been a member of TGA for over 20 years, and it continues to be the best decision year after year. We benefit from growth and brand awareness though the association's robust website, a fantastic quarterly magazine, the industry’s biggest and best trade show, and PR services to assist in communicating with international media.
-
TGA’s regular updates are essential in learning about new products, programs and companies. Joining TGA is an easy investment and provides a worthwhile return.
-
TGA is THE vital industry hub! Through their trade publication, Travel Goods Showcase, and the annual International Travel Goods Show, I’m always informed of changing products, trends, policies – everything I need to know to both make informed decisions for my business and give up-to-date information to my customers.
-
The Travel Goods Association continuously supports the growth of its member companies and helps them access promotional opportunities and high level media attention. And, they produce an exceptional trade show!
-
The Travel Goods Association is the worldwide anchor of the travel goods industry. The staff is both professional and amazingly caring. I strongly believe that every company in the travel goods channel should join TGA.
-
Acting as the only unifying force in the industry, the Travel Goods Association is our glue. TGA allows everyone, big or small, the opportunity to feel equal. Department stores and mom and pop stores can discuss their futures side-by-side without one feeling slighted by the other. This effort is their main course. Everything else is dessert.
