Are these lids airtight? Do they have a "rubbber seal" around the edge to create an airtight seal for the liquid you keep in the jars?

Yes, there is a rubber seal around the main screw on part. I know some people put an airlock in the spout hole for fermenting foods. Agree the spout hole isn't ideal.

There is a rubber seal on the inside of the plastic lid. Some of them still leak. I certainly would not call them airtight.

They do have a rubber seal around the edge, however the pour spout does not. If you turn the jar upside down to mix the contents, it will leak from the pour spout.

I have a number of these in different sizes. The ones I have are absolutely air tight. The ridges of the molded silicon gasket surrounding the top of the jar provide the flexibility to form a seal with the inner rim of the lid. There should be no need to add anything.

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 not airtight. Water will not get in. There is no seal, but the lid overlaps the side by 2 inches. The lid also fits very snug. I have used these for about 5 years now. They are very well made (good materials, heavy duty) hold up to lots of abuse and have a lot of space. I put gear I want to keep dry and safe in it and put it in the bed of my truck. I have traveled many thousand miles with these in my truck bed and never had any issues with water leakage no matter what the weather brings.

There is a thin rubber gasket around the lids, this makes the seal very secure. I have had the canisters for several months and have no problem.

Yes. And to reuse them, the standard lids can be bought here (the jars are from Italy). They seal perfectly; no problems at all. They are perfect for canning; I was glad they were 10 oz rather than 8 oz as it seemed a bit more substantial as a gift. I'm saving these jars for us, though, they are really pretty and people rarely return jars these days....

HI, I found the jars to have tight lid, because I did not want air to get to the spices that I leave in the RV from year to year. I'm only using dry spices, so cannot verify liquids.

The lid fit on these jars is hit or miss. I have two and one is airtight, and the other is problematic. Something like cookies you may be OK with though

Yes Lori, they are sealed airtight. Sometimes they can be difficult to open, but have always succeeded. They stay fresh for a while, but they never last too long around my house. They are delicious!

No, no seal inside the lid, just plastic. My wife uses these jars to make her own deodorant. A suggestion would be; If you require a sufficient seal using these jars, to place a piece of stretch wrap plastic between the product and the lid, or wrap the jar with lid into a vacuum sealed bag and remove the air.

These are one piece canning lids, designed for waterbath or pressure canning. They take the place of two piece lids and rings. The lids have a rubber seal so they would be airtight and not leak if the jar is inverted.

The lids do not seal tight. The metal clasp are soft and weak. They hold less than 1/2 cup. Just a little over 6 table spoons each. I was unable to use them for liquid but honey is thicker and unless they are turned over it would work, for a short period. Hope this helps. After hours and hours of searching for a small decorative container to hold vanilla I ended up using the 4oz mason jars for jelly. I also found some cute jars at the dollar store. I now use my jars for beads.

I haven't tried to use them in this manner but, to be honest, I think that would be asking for trouble. These lids are tight, but not bulletproof. You should probably try to find something where the lid screws on tightly, rather than pushes down to form a seal. My opinion only.

I'm not really sure what you mean by airtight. It doesn't seal like a canning process does, but it keeps the contents of the jar fresh and I often shake mine without leakage as I use it to store smoothies after I make a large carafe and can't drink it all. Hope that helps.

No each container has their own lid that seals. They are great. I have all my dry foods in them.

No, mine did not come with any lids. They have ridges, but it could be purely cosmetic. I couldn't find one lid that worked in my oddball jar collection.

They do not, but they don't leak at all. I'm very pleased with them. They also fit over a regular flat canning lid so if leaking were to become an issue that would be a way to work around it. Hope this helps.
