Its composition keeps your frozen treats from becoming a melted mess. What exactly is it, and why do you need it?<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-dry-ice\">What is dry ice?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.ny.gov\/publications\/7081\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dry ice<\/a> is carbon dioxide in a solid form. Its form makes it great for shipping frozen foods because instead of melting into water, it turns into a gas. Using dry ice is beneficial for shipping ice cream, but there are a couple of things to keep in mind:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Use gloves when handling dry ice<\/strong> &#8211; its extremely cold temperature can burn your skin.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t tightly seal your shipment <\/strong>&#8211; the gas released as dry ice evaporates can lead your package to burst and cause damages to your product and carrier equipment.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"where-to-find-dry-ice\">Where to find dry ice<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Dry ice is commonly found within grocery stores, chain stores, and sometimes even gas stations. Companies like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airgas.com\/services\/packaged-gas-supply\/dry-ice\/shipping-dry-ice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Airgas<\/a> provide delivery options for dry ice to qualifying areas and have brick-and-mortar locations as well. For more information regarding those services, reach out to their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airgas.com\/services\/carbonation\/customer-care\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">customer support team.<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dry-ice-shipping-guidelinesnbsp\">Dry ice shipping guidelines <\/h3>\n\n\n<p>USPS, UPS, and FedEx each have their own set of regulations when it comes to shipping dry ice, so we have outlined some of them below. If you have any additional questions, we recommend reaching out to the carrier directly through the customer service channels we\u2019ve provided.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We want to make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uspsdelivers.com\/hazmat-shipping-safety\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">shipping hazardous materials<\/a> safe for everyone.
