Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide at about −109°F (−78°C). It keeps frozen and refrigerated goods cold without water or melt, which makes it the backbone of pharmaceutical cold chains, frozen-food shipments and event logistics. But it sublimates into CO₂ gas as it works, so it is a regulated material with real packaging and ventilation requirements.
RS Group both sources the dry ice and ships it — from a single cooler to bulk loads up to about 50,000 pounds. We handle the sourcing, the compliant packaging, and the transport on carriers equipped for it, so your cold load arrives still cold.

Where dry ice shipping fits
We supply and ship dry ice for a range of cold-critical needs:
- Pharmaceutical and biologic cold chain that must stay frozen end to end.
- Frozen and perishable food shipments over long transit windows.
- Events and catering that need bulk cold on a schedule.

- Industrial and lab uses that need a reliable, on-time dry-ice supply.
Frequently asked questions
How much dry ice can you ship?
From a single cooler for a small shipment up to bulk loads of around 50,000 pounds. Tell us the volume, the destination and how long the cold has to hold, and we size the supply and the packaging to match.
Is dry ice a regulated material to ship?
Yes. Dry ice sublimates into carbon dioxide gas, so it has packaging, ventilation, labeling and documentation requirements, and air shipments have additional rules. We handle the compliant packaging and paperwork so your shipment moves without a hitch.
How long will the dry ice last in transit?
It depends on the quantity, the packaging, the ambient temperature and the transit time — dry ice sublimates steadily as it keeps your load cold. We calculate how much you need for your route so the cold holds the whole way, with margin.
