Determining What Type and Weight of Moving Blankets You Need
Protecting furniture, appliances, and valuable equipment during transport requires more than just careful handling — it requires the correct type and weight of moving blankets. Selecting the proper blanket ensures maximum protection, cost-efficiency, and operational consistency throughout the moving or storage process.
UBMOVE offers a complete line of professional-grade moving blankets and packing materials designed to meet the demands of both residential and commercial moving operations. Understanding blanket construction, material type, and weight classification helps determine the most effective protection for each application.
Understanding Moving Blanket Types
Moving blankets are categorized primarily by construction material, padding thickness, and intended use.
1. Economy Moving Blankets
Lightweight and cost-efficient, economy blankets are best suited for short-distance moves or temporary protection. They provide basic surface coverage for items that are not prone to scratching or denting.
Ideal For: Single-use moves, light furniture, or storage applications.
2. Standard Moving Blankets
Mid-weight construction offers a balance between protection and affordability. These blankets provide consistent coverage for furniture, appliances, and household goods during residential moves or warehouse transfers.
Ideal For: Professional movers, rental operations, and medium-duty applications.
3. Heavy-Duty Moving Blankets
Constructed with thick padding and reinforced stitching, heavy-duty blankets are designed for repeated use and maximum protection. They safeguard high-value or delicate items such as pianos, antiques, and electronics during long-distance or commercial relocations.
Ideal For: Moving companies, logistics providers, and industrial users.
Understanding Moving Blanket Weight
Weight directly impacts the level of protection and durability. UBMOVE moving blankets are available in various weight ranges, typically measured per dozen:
• Lightweight (30–45 lbs/dozen): Basic coverage and short-term use.
• Medium Weight (54–65 lbs/dozen): Balanced protection for most standard household and office items.
• Heavy Weight (72–90 lbs/dozen): Maximum cushioning for premium protection and repeated use.
Choosing the correct weight depends on the fragility, value, and transport distance of the items being moved.
