How To Design Customized Ice Packs Using Unique Materials

By Xander Dos Santos


Disasters might happen in times when you least expect it. It would be advisable that every household should keep a basic first aid kit in cases of unwanted mishaps and emergencies. There are basic first aid kit sets that are purchasable in the market. These sets are already equipped with custom printed ice packs, bandages, cotton balls, antiseptics, antibiotics and many others. There are things in your basic first aid kit that you can actually invent your own or there are other things at home that you can actually use as its substitute if in case you don't have it in your set. One of those things is the ice pack. Ice pack is painless to make and there are other things in the house that you can turn into one.

Vodka and Water Ice Pack

If you have an unconsumed bottle of vodka in your fridge, you can naturally mix it with water and put it on a plastic bag. You can also put some drops of food coloring in it so you can identify which one is pure water and which one is the vodka and water mixture. Vodka and other alcohol don't freeze but water does. This mixture can be your very own personalized ice pack.

How To Craft Vodka-Water Ice Pack?

You can commonly mix equal parts (preferably cup each) of water and vodka in a container and put it over a plastic bag and freeze.

Frozen Veggies Ice Pack

Vegetables and fruits are part water. Freezing these vegetables and putting strips of it on your skin feels cold and refreshing, right? If you have bumped into an emergency and you can't seem to find promotional ice packs, you can permanently raid your fridge for frozen veggies like peas, cubed carrots, cubed turnips or cubed cucumber.

How To Design Frozen Veggies Ice Pack

Simply prefer veggies with high water content like peas, cucumber, carrots and turnips. Cut these veggies into cubes (of course, no need to cut peas) and set these in a bag. Put each bag in the freezer and let it cool. Veggies don't freeze except for its water content.

Dish washing Liquid Ice Pack

Dish washing liquid is not merely for your dishes. In fact, you can alter it into an ice pack by commonly putting it into a plastic bag and letting it freeze inside your freezer.

How To Make Dish washing Liquid Ice Pack

Get a bottle of dish washing liquid and lay it all inside a customized plastic bag. Label it so people will not dare touch it or consume it. Let it cool inside your freezer until it reaches the fit temperature. Dish washing liquid does not freeze like ice so it would be the attuned custom printed ice pack for your emergency.
