[Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) # Which Cooling Medium is Best for the Direct-to-Consumer Food Delivery Market? ## Key Takeaways: When choosing a cooling medium for the direct-to-consumer food delivery, it must keep its payload to specification upon arrival in any temperature condition over time and by any means of transportation with a minimum of a 95% success rate to be considered a viable option. Through our testing of dry ice, phase change materials (PCMs), and gel packs, dry ice not only proved to be the least costly, but also the highest performing cooling medium with the lowest mass in any container type.

Subsequently, it has been readily accessible in various forms and dimensions in the market. What are the prevailing formats frequently employed in Dry Ice Blasting and Dry Ice Green Cooling? In this blog, we will delve into precisely that and explore the most efficient pelletizers on the market for generating these formats.   [Read More](https://blog.coldjet.com/why-produce-dry-ice-on-site-lets-break-the-ice) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.coldjet.com/why-produce-dry-ice-on-site-lets-break-the-ice#comments-listing) [All posts](https://blog.coldjet.com/all) ## About Cold Jet The global leader in developing environmentally responsible dry ice blasting and dry ice production equipment. ### Subscribe Here! ## Featured posts ### Posts by Tag -
