Is it airtight? I live in hot, humid Myanmar, where the rice bugs are hungry. Thanks

It has a rubber se all in the lid. So I would say it is. I use mine for flour.

I would say yes, it's air tight. There is a rubber seal around the top and it snaps closed. (There is no doubt it is closed tight with the snap) I love mine and even though the contents is several months old, the product is staying fresh

I use this container for bread flour. It is pretty good made. I have been using this for over 6months and I never have any trouble with any bugs and humidity.

This container is totally airtight! I have one for flour, one for sugar. No bugs....and you talk about humid! I live in Alabama! LOL!

I live in Idaho and have stored Flour for over a year and have had no problems. But do remember that Idaho is not a humid state. I love mine for flour and plan on getting one for sugar too.

This does have rubber and seals very tightly, but isn't a true gasket food storage device.

It's pretty tight but, I can't guarantee air tight. I would store food items in it.

The one I purchased was not air tight. I washed it before using, and was shaking it when water came out the seams. It keeps the sugar lump-free now that it is dry, but it is not 100% air tight.

It is not airtight. On a hot summer day, the poop "cooks" inside the can. We have ours mounted in open air area. The only time we smell it is when we open the can when it has been very hot outside. Now that the fall is here, we don't notice any problem with odors.

It is not designed to be airtight. It has a series of holes drilled in the back for air circulation.

I store beans, grains, nuts and seeds in these containers. In really hot humid weather, moths develop inside the containers. My solution is to keep the containers in the refrigerator or freezer during the months of July and August. Perhaps a cool basement would also work. The seal is fairly tight but is not waterproof. I do not know if a tighter fitting seal would stop moth development.

It is not airtight and if I didn't remember wrongly, it has holes. I bought it for bread storage but it doesn't work.

no clue! I never leave rice in the bag, I store it in an airtight container. I will tell you it is delicious!!!

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

No it is not air tight. It actually has air holes, this keeps the bread fresh longer. My homemade bread usually keeps for about 3 days in this box. It lasts the same amount of time on the counter before starting to mold but it goes stale immediately, this box keeps it fresh and soft.

It's NOT airtight. The middle compartment comes pretty close and I've had success with things like hummus and yogurt, but if you're looking to pack soup go with a standard thermos.

I doubt that any bugs could get in and they seem to keep the dust out, but they are not air-tight. I also just checked to see whether they are water-tight and they are definitely not. So far I have only used mine to store the many bottles of vitamins and supplements that I order from Amazon and they work great for that. I like them just fine and was actually thinking of ordering more. I hope I answered your question adequately.

No, it is not air tight. They go stale slower, but if the cup has snack in it that I think will take more than three days to finish, I just put it in a ziploc that I wrote "snacky cup" on (just so I didn't keep reusing ziplocs, being that they don't touch the food).

I don't recall that the seal was "airtight" once opened, and the inside did not have an extra lining. It seemed to "keep" very well, but I supposed you could break it up and vacuum seal what isn't used in the near term.

I don't think it is 100% airtight. I never had ants when I used it but I truly don't believe it to be airtight

absolutely YES, not even mosquitos could get through it. maybe no see-ums... but definitely not rice.... I love mine, use it alot...
