Do the vented lids leak out food in lunchbox?

Yes, they can leak, but still like the divided plates, as I take dinner's to my in-laws who are in the late 80's. freeze meals and take them out to them, so I do not experience leaks since meals are frozen.

i haven't used them for lunch. However, as long as they are kept somewhat level...I don't think they would.

The vented lids come OFF in the lunch box, if you don't secure them with rubber bands! I use two rubber b ands to secure them, the lids do not snap on like you'd expect. The vents on the lids can be closed, but I don't know if they are "leak proof". I recommend laying them right side up to transport. Actually, I would recommend going to Target and buying the Rubbermaid ones!

I did not use them in lunchboxes . However, I did find that the lids did not seal properly to the plates.

Thin sauces will leak into the next compartment. Something thick, like hummus, won't. Get the lunchbot round sauce tins with lids to put inside a compartment for yogurts and thin sauces. Hope that helps. Sorry for the delay, I was away in vacation and the lunch boxes were at home:-)

These containers will leak if you put steaming hot foods or liquids in it with the lid . I let it cool down and reheat in microwave and saves on leaking. Hope this helps

I would say they are. Have two of these and commonly leave them laying on the side while traveling in passenger seat and in my lunch box haven't had a leak yet

The lids do not vent but they are great for cooking things fast without splatter, such as fish, bacon and ground beef.

Mine haven't leaked yet and I even had them as treats in the car for a trip but they were eaten withing 20-30 minutes anyway. I also suction the contents into the lid to keep excess air out.

There is a rubber seal, but it is NOT leakproof. The rubber seal is ill-fitting, and mostly meant to keep moisture out for short periods, but I would never put liquid in it if there's a chance the container will be moved around and the liquid will be sloshing around. On the other hand, these containers are good for children's lunches because they are pretty easy to open and the smaller containers fit nicely in lunch boxes. The larger containers are also good for storing leftover food.

Each lid fits down into the mold with a notched "lip" that holds with its own pressure simply from being the same size as the mold. It's not a super-tight seal, and I wouldn't trust it in a kid's lunchbox - especially because these are so flexible/squishable. A single hard squeeze would pop the lid off for sure.

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. The lid does not seal, it is loose. My one complaint. Otherwise they are nice.

No, there isn't. I wish there was, then they wouldn't leak when I take something for lunch!

I've had these containers for about three years and I don't think I've ever had one of them leak. My family uses them everyday and we always wash them in the dishwasher including the lids, often on heated sanitizing cycles and I've not experienced any changes in the way the lids fit, unlike some other containers we've tried before that warp easily. These don't -- the lids continue to seal really well even after years of use. I've never had a lid come off accidentally and we've toted them just about everywhere.

I use the small container for yogurt...have never had a leak...otherwise the compartments are used for veggies, meat & breads & I have never had a leak out of the lunch kit...I use a cyropack ice sheet which fits perfectly in the pouch inside the lunch bag & the lunch kit stays cold for hours. I also use a 'juice in the box' container for drinks which fits perfectly in the outside pouch.

I've used them for carrying a variety of lunches and some sloppier items, never had a problem. Never packed them tightly in a backpack where I would imagine they could pop open. I did overstuff one with rice once. It seemed the seal got loose and didn't close as tightly after that for a week or so. Now it's back to normal. I've only owned them for 6 months.

There seems to be a rubber seal that goes all the way around the inside of the lids. The latch also holds the lids in place fairly well. Some air might come through... I'm not really sure. I would feel comfortable storing a 25lbs bag of dog food in these bins for quite a while. I use them for birdseed in my back porch and I haven't noticed any bugs or critters.

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

Yes it will leak into other compartments. Also any wet fruit will make dry compartments wet. I am yet to find a lunchbox that is truly watertight. Another problem with this lunchbox is that none of the compartments will hold a whole sandwich. Other than that I love the lunchbox because it is stainless steel instead of plastic.
