Dry Ice Calculator for Frozen Food, Hidangan laut & Pharma Shipments
Estimate a practical starting point for dry ice mass, dry-ice-style cooling packs, and frozen packout direction before you request a quote. This tool is designed for B2B teams shipping frozen food, hidangan laut, es krim, frozen e-commerce products, pharma materials, Sampel lab, biotech cargo, and air/export lanes that need stronger cooling than standard gel packs.
What this calculator helps you check
The calculator uses target temperature, jam transit, profil lingkungan, kompleksitas rute, ukuran kotak, berat muatan, tingkat isolasi, product starting condition, preferred dry ice format, air/export risk, ventilasi, and direct-contact constraints to suggest a planning direction. It is not a dangerous-goods approval, carrier acceptance decision, or validated thermal qualification.

Kasus penggunaan terbaik
Use this calculator when the shipment needs frozen or sub-zero protection
Dry ice is usually considered when gel packs and ice bricks are not enough for frozen performance. The right packout depends on target temperature, product starting condition, isolasi, dry ice format, waktu transit, and carrier acceptance requirements.
Lab samples and dry-ice-compatible pharma lanes
Use this page as an early planning tool, then confirm SOPs, data logger placement, validasi, direct-contact protection, and qualified shipper requirements.
Air shipment, tinggal adat, and carrier acceptance risk
Use the result to prepare route context, dry ice net weight, venting notes, and carrier review details for export or air-freight frozen shipments.
Kalkulator
Enter your frozen shipment profile
Use the fields below to describe the frozen lane you are planning. The calculator gives a starting estimate only. Final dry ice quantity, venting arrangement, pelabelan, and carrier compliance must be confirmed for your specific route and carrier before shipment.
Planning note: Es kering disublimasi menjadi gas karbon dioksida. Packaging must allow gas release and should not be airtight. For air or export shipments, confirm UN1845 marking, dry ice net weight in kilograms, Kelas 9 pelabelan, airwaybill details, and carrier acceptance before shipping.
Enter the shipment profile below. The calculator returns a planning estimate only and does not replace validation testing, carrier acceptance checks, or dangerous-goods compliance review.

Cara menggunakannya
A simple workflow for better dry ice planning
Use these steps as a reference when filling in the calculator fields. Each input changes the estimate in a different way. Review the result summary before preparing your RFQ or compliance review.
| Melangkah | Apa yang harus dimasukkan | Mengapa itu penting |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Define the frozen lane | Gunakan kasing, pita suhu target, jam transit, profil lingkungan, kompleksitas rute, and product starting condition. | Transit yang lebih lama, hotter ambient exposure, air shipment, penanganan ekspor, and customs dwell increase dry ice demand and risk. |
| 2. Enter packaging details | Box inner dimensions, berat muatan, jenis isolasi, and preferred dry ice format. | Volume kotak, massa muatan, kinerja isolasi, and pack format affect sublimation rate and placement options. |
| 3. Select handling constraints | Air-shipment review, vented packaging confirmation, and no direct dry ice contact if required. | Dry ice can create pressure if sealed and may damage products if direct contact is not controlled. |
| 4. Tinjau hasilnya | Recommended dry ice mass, format, asumsi, peringatan, product paths, and quote-ready summary. | The result helps prepare RFQ notes and indicates whether compliance or carrier review is needed before shipment. |
Format guide
Paket es kering yang dapat digunakan kembali, blok padat, or pellet/block hybrid?
The calculator helps choose a planning direction. The final format depends on route time, sublimation behavior, sistem isolasi, sensitivitas muatan, available dry ice format, dan persyaratan operator. Catatan: Tempk Hydrate Dry Ice Packs are reusable PCM-style cooling packs designed for dry-ice-style performance—they are not solid CO2 dry ice and do not require UN1845 handling. If you are using solid CO2 dry ice, konfirmasi ventilasi, Penandaan UN1845, Kelas 9 pelabelan, net kg declaration, and carrier acceptance before shipping.
Reusable dry ice pack sheet / PCM-style setup
Useful for smaller parcels, short-to-mid frozen lanes, penanganan lebih mudah, and more even surface coverage. Tempk Hydrate Dry Ice Packs are reusable PCM-style cooling packs that follow a dry-ice-style placement logic without solid CO2 handling requirements.
Solid dry ice block setup
Better for longer frozen hold time, larger payloads, Sublimasi yang lebih lambat, and structured placement where direct product contact can be avoided.
pelet / block hybrid setup
Often a better planning direction for air shipment, export lanes, deep-frozen requirements, hot ambient exposure, muatan besar, or complex route risk.
Penanganan es kering
Safety and carrier checks to confirm before shipping dry ice
Dry ice planning is not only a thermal question. Shipments may need special markings, kemasan ventilasi, dry ice net weight, and carrier acceptance review, especially for air and export lanes.
Do not seal dry ice packages airtight
Dry ice turns into carbon dioxide gas during transit. Packaging should allow CO₂ release to prevent pressure build-up, especially in air, ekspor, or long-hold shipment workflows.
Prepare UN1845 and label details early
For dry ice used as a refrigerant, prepare the proper shipping name, UN1845, Kelas 9 label bahaya, bobot es kering bersih dalam kilogram, detail pengirim/penerima, and any air waybill requirements before handoff.

FAQ
Common dry ice shipping questions
Common questions buyers ask when planning frozen packouts, comparing dry ice formats, or preparing for air and export shipments.
What is the difference between a dry ice pack and solid CO2 dry ice?
Solid CO2 dry ice is a dangerous good (UN1845, Kelas 9) that sublimates into carbon dioxide gas and requires vented packaging, penandaan berat bersih, penerimaan operator, and specific documentation. Tempk Paket Es Kering Hidrat are reusable PCM-style cooling packs designed for dry-ice-style frozen performance—they are not solid CO2 and do not require UN1845 handling.

How much dry ice do I need for a frozen shipment?
The amount depends on transit time, ukuran kotak, tingkat isolasi, berat muatan, suhu awal produk, paparan lingkungan, dry ice format, and route dwell. Use this calculator for a starting estimate, then confirm with testing or carrier requirements. For background, membaca: How Dry Ice Packaging Keeps Goods Frozen.
When should I use dry ice instead of gel packs or ice bricks?
Use dry ice or dry-ice-style packs for frozen, beku keras, beku, or export lanes where gel packs are not enough. Use gel packs or ice bricks for chilled 2–8°C and 0–10°C shipments where direct contact with ultra-cold media could damage the product. Bandingkan pilihan: Ice Pack Calculator.
Does dry ice packaging need venting?
Ya. Solid CO2 dry ice sublimates into carbon dioxide gas, so packaging must allow gas release and should never be airtight. This is especially important for air freight, confined vehicle transport, and long-hold export routes. If you are using Tempk Hydrate Dry Ice Packs (gaya PCM), the venting requirement applies differently—contact Tempk for guidance.
What labels and documents are required for dry ice shipments?
For solid CO2 dry ice used as a refrigerant, typical requirements include: Nama pengiriman yang tepat, UN1845, Kelas 9 label bahaya, bobot es kering bersih dalam kilogram, shipper and consignee details, and airwaybill markings. Requirements vary by carrier and route. Read: Label Pengepakan Es Kering 2025: UN1845, Kelas 9, AWB.
Can this calculator be used for pharma or lab sample shipments?
Ya, but only as an early planning tool. For pharmaceutical and lab sample lanes, the final packout must be confirmed with product requirements, direct-contact protection, Sops, data logger placement, validation testing, and qualified shipper requirements. Mulailah di sini, then review Tempk’s pharmaceutical shipment resources dan gunakan Compliance Checklist Generator.
Can I ship dry ice by air freight?
Dry ice can be shipped by air when packaging, tanda, pelabelan, Berat bersih, ventilasi, dokumentasi, and carrier acceptance conditions are all satisfied. IATA governs most international air dry ice shipments. Always confirm current carrier rules and route conditions before shipping. Gunakan Route Risk Checker to review your lane before finalizing a packout.
