2" x 5" x 10" Dry ice blocks ideal for long distance shipping & long-lasting cooling.

Dry ice blocks provide dense, long-lasting cooling for shipping frozen and temperature-sensitive products. Measuring approximately 2" × 5" × 10", and weighing 5lbs each, these solid blocks of carbon dioxide sublimate more slowly than pellets or dry ice rice due to their lower surface-area-to-volume ratio, allowing them to maintain stable freezing temperatures for extended periods.

This makes them ideal for large shipments, long-distance deliveries, food production, medical specimen transport, and industrial cooling applications where consistent cold retention is essential. Like all dry ice products, the blocks sublimate directly from solid carbon dioxide into gas, leaving no liquid residue that could damage packaging or products.

Our dry ice blocks are available for purchase in 20lb or 45lb containers.

How Our Products Ship:

When ordering from ShipDryIce.com, each product ships in its own reusable container based on the weight ordered. Orders including multiple items or containers will not be combined or consolidated into a larger shipping box.

For example, if you order two 20 lb containers of dry ice blocks, you will receive two separate boxes, each containing 20 lbs of dry ice in their own styrofoam shipping container.

Best For:

Applications that require long-lasting cooling and slow sublimation, including:

  • Shipping frozen food and temperature-sensitive products
  • Medical specimen transport and laboratory shipping
  • Food production and processing environments
  • Manufacturing and industrial cooling applications
  • Long-distance shipping and extended transit times
  • Bulk cooling needs and large insulated containers
  • Camping and hunting excursions  
  • Preserving perishable goods during power outages

Available In:

  • Small Container / 20 lbs / Outside 13"x12"x10" / Inside 10"x8"x6"
  • Large Container / 45 lbs /  Outside 15"x15"x15" / Inside 12"x12"x12"

Shipping Disclaimer:

To avoid orders being held up in a shipping facility over the weekend we only ship orders Monday through Thursday. We do NOT ship orders on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.

Return & Refund Policy:

Due to the nature of dry ice, all sales are final. Dry ice is a temperature-sensitive product that continuously sublimates (transitions from solid to gas) over time, even under proper storage conditions. As a result, we are unable to accept returns or offer refunds once an order has been fulfilled.

We take great care in packaging and shipping to ensure your order arrives in optimal condition. If you experience an issue with your delivery, please contact us promptly so we can review and assist where possible.

Additional Information:

How Much Dry Ice Do I need?

The amount of dry ice required depends on container size, insulation, and transit time. As a general guideline, we recommend approximately 10 pounds of dry ice per 24-hour period for maintaining frozen temperatures inside an insulated shipping container.

For longer shipments or larger containers, additional dry ice may be required to compensate for sublimation loss.

2" Styrofoam Shipping Container

All dry ice orders ship inside a 2-inch thick reusable insulated Styrofoam container designed to help maintain freezing temperatures during transit. These containers provide effective insulation and help slow the sublimation rate of dry ice.

Because dry ice sublimates directly from solid carbon dioxide into gas, it keeps shipments extremely cold without creating moisture or liquid residue that could damage packaging or products.

Sublimation Warning!

Dry ice naturally sublimates, meaning it converts directly from solid carbon dioxide into gas. Under typical conditions, dry ice sublimates at the following rates every 24 hours inside an insulated container:

  • Rice will lose 8lbs every 24 hours
  • Pellets lose 7lbs every 24 hours
  • Blocks lose 5lbs every 24 hours

Important: When planning a shipment, it is important to account for this sublimation rate. Longer shipping times and warmer environments will increase the rate at which dry ice evaporates.
