How airtight are these containers? Opaque is great but am concerned about degrading my supplements due to a week's worth of air/moisture exposure.

No problem I've had my meds and supplements in them for over three weeks they are the same as when I placed them there

They are not airtight, but I have never had an issue with any of the prescription meds or supplements degrading over a weeks' time. I have been very happy with this product.

Airtight. Hmm... I guess that depends on what you mean by airtight. I haven't put anything fermented or effervescent into them, where I might have seen leakage under pressure, but I had a thin liquid (ethyl alcohol, the drinkable kind), and if I just gently shook or inverted the jar, it leaked. If you're just looking to prevent odd tastes from getting into something you have in the fridge, for example, they're probably fine. But they are definitely not for preserving or canning.

Sad to say, they are not airtight. My pantry got overrun by moths and grubs inside these jars. I would not put anything like rice, flour, pasta, beans or anything else that can be eaten by moths. I had better results with OXO, Click N' Lock or PERSIK for storing food.

The jars have a silicone seal. They look nice and stack well however when the seal gets moved by putting the top/off, they are not airtight as I wanted! If you are not storing baking supplies such as sugar...they are nice.

Yes the lids seem airtight to me. They have screw on grooves that secure on pretty well. Interesting idea to use them for dry snacks. Will have to try.

The canisters are most definitely airtight. They have a rubber gasket on the top that seals against the ceramic lip of the bottom. You can feel and hear the seal breaking whenever you lift the lid. You have to actually PULL the lids off--because of the seal.

Thank you for asking. I have been keeping it in the pantry and it seems to be just fine. I also put some in a jar with a tight lid so I could see if there would be any difference. I live in a very dry area so there is no problem with moisture. I'm not sure what to do if there is high humidity.

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 would say yes it is airtight. They are glass jars with a plastic lid that screws on. The display is acrylic.

Yes, they are airtight. I shake liquids around in them all the time. These lids aren't for canning purposes, though.

Sorry Wendy. I do the same as the other respondent. The bags are huge and I always put them in airtight containers. I have a small bag from a local Amish bulk store and the ingredients on that label are the same as was previously mentioned in the other response.

they seem to be airtight, but for extra caution i place a square plastic wrap piece at the top and twist lid. i mostly use them for dry goods.

I ordered them for loose leaf tea, but I would say they are definitely NOT air tight! For the price...they are decent containers, but I'm buying new containers for tea...one by one as I save for them! hope this helps!

Its not an air tight seal. Im not sure if there is any type of box that is like that. If you are that concerned about humidity, double sleave your cards and you should be fine.

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.

Matthew, I'm no expert. All I know is that when the packs are dry, feeling like crunchy dry sand when squeezed and pressed and I put them in an air-tight Tupperware box with water in a small container in the box, within a few days they are soft and pliable - having soaked up the humidity/moisture in the enclosed container. Seems you'll have to try a pack and hope they fill your needs. Letting them dry out may be your biggest challenge....watching VERY CAREFULLY in an oven? VERY iffy! Maybe laying in the sun - with frequent checks. Just a thought.
