Was Are Dry Ice Pads, Anyway?
Dry ice pads are like frozen powerhouses. They’re basically thick, durable pads packed with solid carbon dioxide (CO₂)—a.k.a. Trockeneis. Here’s the magic: instead of melting into a puddle like regular ice, Trockeneis sublimates—it turns straight from a solid to a gas, skipping the liquid phase entirely. No water sloshing around, no soggy boxes, no ruined products. Perfect for anything that hates moisture: electronics, Medikamente, or that fancy cake you’re shipping for a birthday.
Whether you’re sending COVID vaccines, Alaskan king crab, or overnight pizzas, dry ice pads keep your shipment at the exact temp it needs—no slips, no slides.
Why Dry Ice Pads Beat Other Cooling Tricks
Let’s get real: not all cooling methods are created equal. Here’s why dry ice pads are the gold standard for shipping:
- Cooling That Goes the Distance
Regular ice melts fast. You’ve seen it—drip-drip-dripping in a cooler, leaving a slimy mess. Trockeneis? It sublimates slowly, releasing cool gas for hours (oder sogar Tage) depending on the pad size. That’s a lifesaver for cross-country shipments where your package might bake in a hot truck for days. No more “warm spots” ruining your goods. - Zero Water, Zero Worries
Water damage is the enemy of fragile or temp-sensitive items. Imagine opening a box of insulin to find it’s soaked—useless. Or a seafood shipment where the ice melted, leaving fish sitting in brine. Dry ice skips the melt entirely. Your package stays dry, so meds stay potent, food stays fresh, and samples stay viable. - Space-Smart & Cost-Saving
Dry ice pads are compact. No bulky ice blocks taking up half your shipping container. That means more room for your actual products, fewer shipping fees, and happier customers (since their orders arrive intact). For businesses, that’s less waste and more profit. - Eco-Friendly by Nature
Dry ice is made from CO₂—a gas that’s already in the air we breathe. When it sublimates, it just goes back to the atmosphere—no harmful chemicals, no leftover sludge. And many dry ice pads (including Tempk’s!) are made with recyclable materials. So you’re not just keeping your shipment safe—you’re keeping the planet safe too.
Where Dry Ice Pads Shine in Shipping
Dry ice isn’t just for one industry—it’s a cold chain staple everywhere:
- Pharmaceuticals: Impfungen, Insulin, or cancer meds need strict temp control to work. Dry ice pads keep them frozen (or at the exact temp) so they reach hospitals and pharmacies ready to use.
- Food Shipping: Perishables like lobster, steaks, or frozen pizzas stay frozen solid with dry ice—even when shipped across the country. No more “thawed and refrozen” garbage; just fresh, safe food.
- Biotech & Research: Lab samples, DNA, or chemical reagents need precise temps to stay usable. Dry ice pads make sure these irreplaceable items arrive in lab-ready condition.

Not all dry ice pads are built the same. Tempk’s are designed for real-world shipping—here’s what makes them stand out:
