The US Cargo Control Moving Blankets Heavy Duty 72x80, 12-Pack, 43 lbs per Dozen, Packing is one of our picks for the moving supply lineup. Everything below comes straight from the manufacturer's published listing - specs, capacities, and dimensions are theirs, not ours.
Moving supplies are damage control and injury control at once: blankets protect what hand trucks carry, two-person lifting straps put the load on shoulders and legs instead of lower backs, and sliders move furniture without lifting it at all. Pair everything here with the hand trucks and dollies doing the heavy rolling.
Key details, quoted from the manufacturer's published listing:
- SPECS - Length: 80 | Width: 72 | Material: Cotton and Polyester with Zig-Zag Stitching | 2 Non-Woven Binding | Weight: 3.5 pounds (single blanket): 43 lbs./dz | Color: Blue | Use: Limited Use | Quantity: (12) Moving Blankets
- TOUGH POLYESTER MATERIAL - Our furniture blankets for moving and storage are made of nonwoven polyester fabric wrapped around recycled cotton batting, bound by nonwoven binding. The movers blankets are not machine washable, but can be spot cleaned.
- LIGHTWEIGHT PROFESSIONAL GRADE- Use moving blankets 72x80 12 pack as shipping blankets, work blankets, or cargo blankets for moving to use in freight, wrap up items in crates, fragile goods for auctions, and in warehouses or distribution centers.
- UTILITY BLANKET - Our furniture moving blankets are also a multipurpose blanket. Use it for many things such as an activity blanket for picnics and camping, dog crate mat, children's art projects to avoid messes, and protect floors for work projects.
- NOTE - Due to the use of colored recycled material in this padded moving blanket's filler, please exercise caution when using on light-colored furniture. If the cover becomes damaged or ripped, blanket replacement is recommended.

What to check before you buy
- Box size against contents
- Small boxes for dense items, large boxes for light bulky ones. A large box filled with dense goods becomes an unmanageable lift and usually fails at the seams.
- Tape width and quality
- Narrow or thin tape is the common failure point on heavy cartons. Wider tape and a proper H-taped seam hold far better.
- Furniture pads and edge protection
- Padding prevents damage; corner and edge protection prevents strap and stack damage. They solve different problems.
- Lift planning
- Most moving injuries are manual handling injuries. Fewer, lighter boxes and a hand truck beat willpower every time.

Frequently asked questions
What size moving boxes should I use?
Small boxes for heavy dense items such as books and tools, larger boxes for light bulky items such as bedding. Filling a large box with dense goods creates a lift nobody should attempt.
How should boxes be taped?
Run tape along the center seam and across both edge seams - the H pattern. For heavy cartons, tape the bottom the same way as the top.
How heavy should a moving box be?
Light enough to lift comfortably with good technique. There is no legal limit, but boxes that need two people or an awkward posture are where back injuries happen.
Do I need furniture pads?
For anything with a finished surface, yes. Pads prevent abrasion in transit, which is the most common form of moving damage.
What is the safest way to move heavy items?
Use equipment rather than muscle - hand trucks, straps, sliders or skates. Reducing the number of manual lifts is the single most effective control.
Where do the specifications on this page come from?
They are taken from the manufacturer's published listing. WC Safety does not laboratory-test products, and nothing is claimed here that the manufacturer does not state.
