Are the canisters air tight?

Hi Donna, the canisters just have a seal along the edge. They are not air tight. The lids fit loosely on each one. I keep pre made coffee filters in them for the week and they always stay fresh and perfect. I love them so much and they look beautiful. I hope this helps a bit.Debbie

The jars are glass and the tops are plastic. I would not say they are as airtight as glass and metal would be. Suggest your get small mason jars as their lids have metal inserts with a rubber seal. Cheaper too.

I believe they are. I've cleaned them before using desinfectant spray and water and it's still holding up. The seals seem air tight but you may want to ask the manufacturer (Bright Medic) directly to be sure.

Yes. These canisters seal very well. Excellent product and well worth the money.

The ziploc bags are not air tight. They have a zipper around the top so should stay shut but also have a narrow mesh around the top and are not vacuum sealed.

YES ! The lids have an excellent seal ; BUT one of our containers came with a bad seal. Evidently at the factory the seal was not installed properly and was in a position to only seal about 60 percent of the lid. I could not find away or anyone who would take back the individual canister and replace it. They wanted the whole set ( once I found someone to commit to customer satisfaction ) so I just fixed it myself. No big deal. I would highly recommend this product, they do seal and are great to look at.

I do not believe they are "air tight." If they were I think there would be a bit more resistance felt when closing and locking the box because of pressure on the O-ring. The manufacturer says that they are "water resistant." Were they "water-proof" then they would be airtight.

Yes, they are! I am using them now. However, it is quite difficult to close the lids.

Yes, they are absolutely air tight. There is a rubber (or perhaps silicone?) gasket around each lid, and when closed makes a tight seal. I keep items such as flour, cornmeal and sugar in them safely.

They're not airtight. They're tight enough to stay on when not tossed around or shifted. But, they're definitely not like a Tupperware lid that seals shut.

I don't think the're airtight but the ones I have are defective. The "zip strip" is not attatched to both sides of the bag, so they don't seal at all. I have purchased these big zip bags for a few years now and have some old ones here but these are manufactured wrongly.

They are very good to use as canisters. I would not put them in the freezer.

No, there is no seal on the canisters. They are very pretty but probably not practical as "real" canisters because there is no seal to keep the contents fresh.

Lids are not loose they fit tight. Not sure what you mean by airtight , but the lids on mine fit tight ,sometimes its hard to get them off .

No, not air tight at all unless you maybe wrap some plastic wrap around the top before putting lid on. I actually never use the lid.

Yes, but the plastic (acrylic) canisters seem pretty thin. One cracked when I was trying to close it. Not very good quality material on the containers.
