Moving blankets or pads are extremely important in the cargo business, as well as for shipping companies, furniture movers, or any other licensed mover transporting furniture or breakable items. Moving blankets are also an invaluable tool for any individual doing a home move, and work great for covering and protecting large valuable items during storage as well. Unlike cheap paper moving pads, moving blankets do not tear during transit, and can be used time and time again. There are three factors to consider when purchasing a moving blanket or pad - weight, binding, and whether the fabric is woven or non-woven. Non-woven polyester is formed of long synthetic fibers that are NOT woven or knitted together, but rather are bonded together by pressure, heat, chemical, or solvent processes. Non-woven blankets are the least resistant to snags and tears and are very economical for one-time moves. Our Econo Mover is 4.5 lbs per blanket, putting it on the lighter end of the scale. It is constructed of a strong, non-woven fabric, and has 3'' non-woven binding on all 4 sides with 4 finished corners. The Econo Mover is one of our more economical blankets, which works great for the occasional, short move, and also can serve as a quality warehouse pad or storage blanket. This blanket has a thick cotton batting for extra padding, making it tougher and more durable than most economy moving pads. It is common to see valuable objects damaged while in transit. However, scuffs, scratches and other deformations can be avoided by wrapping your valuable items with moving blankets.
