Does the lid seal airtight?

Yes quite nice. I use it for my compost dregs (in the kitchen) and do not want fruit flies etch..... "bugging" me! They I take it out to the compost bins and no flies! Win Win!

I ordered these and ended up returning them. They are cheaply made. The "stainless steel" is thin, and the locking clasp is a joke. Very thin and doesn't line up well. The rubber seal didn't fit properly and continually fell off. Do yourself a favor and find something else better made.

It seals, but I have flour in mine and the rubber seal keeps falling off. And I have the smaller cannesters and the brown sugar is always getting clumpy. Not all that impressed. I use mine for dog food now and it works great for that. (Hope that helps)

It seems to in that I've never had any problem with anything I store in them

I'm going to say yes. It's "Air tight" when the lid is screwed on tight, so I'd assume it's water proof also.

This is like any other plastic container. As far as an airtight seal I would say no. But once the lid is on it seems to fit fine. I would say it should keep ants out as long as it's on correctly.

Like a rubber seal? No. It just has a rim that's all. So, it's not airtight or anything. Not sure if that answered the question

It does have a light rubber seal around the inside so it's not open at the spout all the time. I'm not sure if it's 100% airtight, but thanks to the lid and seal, I am not worried about spillage or anything like that.

I don't believe it is airtight. The lid has a silicone gasket that slides up and down when you open and close, so I don't see how it could be airtight. I agree with the second answer, it is tight but not air tight.

It is not air tight; it has no seal or gasket. The cap goes on with 1/4 turn. I live in a low-humidity area, so I keep everyday coffee and tea in these. I use a Teavana canister for my more costly teas. You get what you pay for.

Yes. The top snaps on solidly and the lid snaps closed with a very good seal.

There is no seal or rubber gasket per se to create a true airtight container. However, they do appear to be relatively air tight.

Yes it has an aluminum lid and also has a rubber seal for airtight protection

yes. it seals fairly well. it doesnt seal airtight but then again you dont want to seal them airtight. the lenght of time will vary with the recipe used and the environmental factors like temp and humidity or how long they are out of the container for.

Unfortunately I had to return mine because I purchased the wrong size however I purchased a similar one from them and yes the lids do seal tightly.

It is not a tight seal it has a pin that holds the lid on that allows you to be able to slide the lid all the way around.

No. It is a push-in style lid. The seal (on mine anyway) is quite good, though.

No. The lid does not seal, it is loose. My one complaint. Otherwise they are nice.

yes, it does seal tightly and keep out odors . on a side note i do try to keep all other freezer foods completely covered so that they don't get smell from them

These canisters do have a gel seal around the inside of the covers. As long as you keep them clean from the contents, the seal is airtight.
