Best Answer

The best way to keep dry ice from sublimating quickly is by packing them as close to each other as possible to avoid empty space. Empty space will cause the dry ice to sublimate faster. Fill in these empty space with new bubble packs, newspaper or Styrofoam peanuts.

It is also advisable to purchase dry ice as close to the time of usage as possible.
