How To Pick the Right Moving Blanket
Moving season is in full swing – and whether you are a pro-mover or a DIY-mover, you’ll need moving blankets to protect furniture and other precious cargo. When deciding which moving blanket is right for you, consider how often you plan to use it and the type of protection you need to get the job done right.
US Cargo Control offers a variety of moving blankets meant for various uses. They are sorted into three categories: best, better, and good for easy selection.
Best Moving Blanket: Supreme Mover
Better Moving Blanket: Mega Mover
US Cargo Control's better blankets are a middle of the road moving pad. This category of blanket can be reused, but is not as durable. These blankets are an option for moving companies and any do-it-yourself mover who needs or wants to reuse the pads.
Our featured "Better" moving blanket is the Mega Mover at 85 lbs/dozen. They have a polyester outer shell, cotton batting, and a mid-weight construction, making them ideal for a variety of applications. They are reusable, but don't offer the maximum protection that the Supreme mover offers.
Good Moving Blankets: Econo Series
Good blankets are a cost-conscious choice. These styles are designed to be used one or two times or as storage blankets. These blankets are lighter and are generally designed for limited uses. They are cost-effective and are a smart buy for a one-time move.
US Cargo Control offers 3 options in the Econo Series: The Econo Deluxe, The Econo Mover, and the Econo Saver.
- Econo Deluxe: The heaviest of all econo options at 65 lbs/dozen.
- Econo Mover: Middle-of-the-road economy option at 54 lbs/dozen
- Econo Saver: The lightest and most economical option at 43 lbs/dozen
Skins
Finally, US Cargo Control offers skins, the lightest moving pad. Skins are an extremely economical choice for people taking on the task of moving themselves. Pro-movers typically use them as supplemental packaging materials and for storage jobs. Questions? Give one of the moving supplies experts at US Cargo Control a call at 800-867-1210.
