What's the Difference Between Woven and Non-Woven Moving Pads?
Moving pads, also known as moving blankets, are used to make a move easier. The pads help protect furniture, appliances, and fragile cargo while moving and transporting items in the back of the truck.
Selecting the right moving blanket can be tricky. Consider the type of fabric and binding used to make the blanket. Those qualities will help you determine the pad’s durability and intended use.
Woven Moving Pads
Woven fabrics and bindings make high-quality moving blankets designed for repeated use. These pads are heavier and more durable compared to non-woven materials. Woven fabrics can be made from cotton, a cotton and polyester mix, or polyester. The binding around the edge of the blankets will also be woven.

Non-Woven Moving Pads
Non-woven fabrics and bindings are still a good option, but are lighter and are used for limited purposes. This type of fabric is a more cost-effective choice, great for single moves or as warehouse storage pads. US Cargo Control offers several pads made with non-woven materials.

Woven and Non-Woven Moving Pads
