Can cold temperature damage a CD?

Question

I'm mailing a CD and some chocolate together to someone. I'm going to put an ice pack with the chocolate so it doesn't melt. If I put the CD (it's in a case) next to the ice pack, will it be damaged?

Answer 1

only if the ice is dry ice and freezes the disk, chances are you will not be able to send it with ice pack as if it thaws and it probably will be fore its delivered, you'd be better to courrier it over night without the ice pack will be there before the package would be effected unless its going to some place extremely hot say india in summer, but most places will have cool storage for your package so most likely the chocolate wont even melt

and the cd will be fine even if it melts the cd will be kept in its own jewel case and stored in a zip lock lunch bag

right that was what you planned to ship it

Answer 2

Can't see why you need an ice pack, I've received chocolate mail and it was fine. Maybe its just especially hot where you are? Anyways if the CD is in the case it should be fine.

Answer 3

Put the CD in a CD case then wrap it up in bubble wrap and make sure that it is leak proof. That way the bubble wrap will provide a buffer from the cold just to be safe.

You can even put the CD with the CD case into a plastic zip-lock bag first, then wrap it.
