Making VS Buying Your Dry Ice

Should you make or buy the dry ice you use? Consider the following questions:

• Do you use large quantities of dry ice on a daily / weekly basis?
• Are your dry ice deliveries consistently on time?
• Is the quality of the dry ice you receive consistently excellent?
• Do you always have the quantities and quality you need, WHEN you need it?
• Do you often throw away old, unusable ice?

Depending on your answers, your choice of making vs buying can be easy. Use our brief Quiz below and check the RESULTS gauge on the right to see if making your own dry ice may be the best solution for you.
