Check out the dry ice packing techniques below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>Quantity matters: How much for how long?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally speaking, 10 pounds of dry ice will last up to 24 hours in a standard 25-quart cooler\u2014but there are a lot of factors at play. You\u2019ll also want to consider the types of food you\u2019re storing (frozen or refrigerated), the size of your cooler, any ambient conditions and the duration of storage.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellpadding=\"10\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td bgcolor=\"#cccccc\"><strong>Cooler Size<\/strong><\/td>\n<td bgcolor=\"#eeeeee\"><strong>4 Hours<\/strong><\/td>\n<td bgcolor=\"#eeeeee\"><strong>12 Hours<\/strong><\/td>\n<td bgcolor=\"#eeeeee\"><strong>24 Hours<\/strong><\/td>\n<td bgcolor=\"#eeeeee\"><strong>48 Hours<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td bgcolor=\"#cccccc\">25 qts.<\/td>\n<td>10 lbs.<\/td>\n<td>10 lbs.<\/td>\n<td>10 lbs.<\/td>\n<td>15 lbs.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>50 qts.<\/td>\n<td>10 lbs.<\/td>\n<td>15 lbs.<\/td>\n<td>15 lbs.<\/td>\n<td>20 lbs.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td bgcolor=\"#cccccc\">100 qts.<\/td>\n<td>15 lbs.<\/td>\n<td>20 lbs.<\/td>\n<td>25 lbs.<\/td>\n<td>35 lbs.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:10px\" class=\"has-custom-size\"><em>Listed dry ice weights are estimated starting points only. Cooler design, payload size and ambient conditions may affect results<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The estimates above are a good start, but making your dry ice last is up to you. Keep it frozen longer by keeping your cooler out of direct sunlight, opening it as seldom as possible and adding extra insulation during the day.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>What is the safest way to handle dry ice?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s pretty simple\u2014just don\u2019t touch it with your bare hands. Since dry ice can irritate your skin, avoid direct contact by using gloves, tongs or a towel whenever handling dry ice.
