A typical dry ice block is approximately 10" x 10" x 2".
This is about the size of a square textbook. Keep in mind that dimensions can vary slightly depending on the supplier. These blocks generally weigh around 10 pounds each. They are commonly pre-wrapped in a plastic bag for safety and to help prevent rapid sublimation (the process of dry ice turning directly from a solid to a gas).
Before handling dry ice, familiarize yourself with safety precautions, which are often printed on the bag. This includes wearing gloves to prevent cold burns.
