How to fill out shipping dry ice job

How to fill out a shipping dry ice job:

1. Determine the quantity of dry ice needed for shipping. Calculate the weight of the items being shipped and consult a dry ice usage chart to determine the appropriate amount of dry ice required.
2. Select the appropriate shipping container. Ensure that the container is insulated and can withstand the extreme temperatures of dry ice. It should also be leak-proof to prevent any moisture from entering during transit.
3. Package the items securely within the shipping container. Use appropriate padding or packaging materials to protect the items from damage during transportation. Make sure to leave enough space for the dry ice to be placed within the container.
4. Purchase the required amount of dry ice from a reputable supplier. Dry ice is typically sold by weight, so ensure that you have enough for your shipment. It is recommended to use insulated gloves or tongs when handling dry ice to avoid burns.
5. Place the dry ice within the shipping container. Ensure that there is enough room for the dry ice to sublimate (turn from solid to gas) without causing any pressure build-up in the container. Leave a small vent or opening to allow for the release of carbon dioxide gas.
6. Seal the shipping container securely. Use tape or other appropriate materials to ensure the container is completely closed and that no air can escape or enter.
7. Label the shipping container properly. Include clear and visible labels indicating that the package contains dry ice and displaying any necessary warnings or instructions. This will help ensure safe handling during transit.
