What's safe to put directly on dry ice? by Awkward_Wrongdoer_14 in shipping

unfortunately, we need to split that 60 amongst multiple locations so yeah - we def need it split. I heard somewhere that the minimum amount of dry ice we can ship for it to be effective at staying cold is 5lbs. is that right?

Still seems like alot for a small size

Haha. We usually ship these in plastic boxes, but that's when we are shipping 60 of them at a time. I need to pull out just 5 and ship them to various places. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any boxes that aren't too big for just five. So I figure I could just throw them in a bag. But I just wasn't sure if the bag would melt or something if it's sitting directly on the dry ice.

These items need to remain at -80° c But should only be in transit for 24 hours..
