Dry ice shipping
Dry ice — solid carbon dioxide at about -109 °F — keeps goods frozen and ultra-cold far below what regular ice can hold. We handle dry-ice supply and shipping for everything from a single cooler to commercial and event-scale volumes.
What it is
What dry ice does
Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide. It sublimates — turning straight from solid to gas — without leaving liquid behind, which makes it ideal for keeping freight frozen and ultra-cold in transit. Because it is a regulated material, it has to be packaged, labeled, and handled correctly.
We coordinate both the dry-ice supply and the shipment around it, scaling from a small residential need up to commercial and event volumes.
Use cases
-
Frozen and ultra-cold goods
Products that must stay deeply frozen, well below what water ice can maintain.
-
Perishable shipments
Time- and temperature-sensitive items that need a cold source for the trip.
-
Events and one-off needs
A larger, scheduled supply for an event, a promotion, or a one-time requirement.
The benefits
- 01
Supply and ship together
We coordinate the dry ice and the freight as one job, not two separate problems.
- 02
Scales to your volume
From a residential cooler to commercial and event quantities, sized to the need.
- 03
Handled as a regulated material
Packaging and labeling done with the discipline a regulated cold source requires.
How we coordinate it
-
Right quantity for the trip
We help size the dry ice to the transit time and the goods being kept cold.
-
Compliant packaging
Vented, labeled packaging that handles sublimating CO₂ correctly.
-
Coordinated delivery
Timing the move so the cold source lasts through to delivery.
Dry-ice categories we serve
Dry-ice needs differ by scale and setting. We coordinate across three broad categories:
-
Residential
Smaller, occasional needs — a single cooler or shipment that needs a reliable cold source.
-
Commercial
Recurring or larger-volume business needs that depend on dry ice as part of an operation.
-
Event
A planned, larger one-time supply timed to an event, promotion, or activation.
Dry-ice shipping FAQ
How cold does dry ice get?
Dry ice is about -109 °F (-78 °C) — far colder than water ice, which is why it keeps freight frozen and ultra-cold rather than merely chilled.
Why does dry ice need special handling?
It sublimates into carbon dioxide gas, so packaging must be vented and labeled, and the shipment treated as a regulated material — which is exactly what we coordinate.
Can you supply the dry ice as well as ship it?
Yes — we coordinate the dry-ice supply and the shipment together, sized from a single cooler up to commercial and event volumes.
How much dry ice will my shipment need?
It depends on transit time, packaging, and the goods being kept cold. Describe your shipment and we will help size the quantity before you book.
