Freeze drying (lyophilization) is the process by which a flower is frozen to a state that its cell structure has so much integrity that, when submitted to a vacuum, the water goes from a frozen state to a vapor state (sublimation) and evacuates the cell structure. The size and shape will stay relatively the same but the color becomes more intense. This process is carefully monitored and takes up to 2 weeks to produce a keepsake quality flower.

We chemically pre-treat and post-treat all flowers to protect them from moisture and environmental pollutants. Dakota Giftware Supply, Inc. uses state of the art technology to deliver the best quality product to you.
