How to Store Dry Ice
Dry ice should be stored in an insulated container such as a Styrofoam box or
picnic cooler. Never store dry ice in any container that is completely air-tight.
Doing so could cause the container to explode. Never store dry ice in a
refrigerator or freezer. Doing so will not make your dry ice last longer, and
because these containers are air-tight, could cause an explosion.
To make your dry ice last as long as possible, protect the ice from the air current
by filling the empty space in your cooler with newspaper and towels. Keeping the
air from touching the dry ice will slow down the sublimation process. When
stored properly, dry ice can last a couple of days.
