Are the lids airtight? I plan to use for pre-packing dry snacks like nuts/crackers/granolas for backup snacks, not daily food.

They're not airtight. They're tight enough to stay on when not tossed around or shifted. But, they're definitely not like a Tupperware lid that seals shut.

They held in liquids very well in my freezer. I laid then on their side and nothing leaked. Hope this helps!

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.

No not really. They might longer than a reg container if you had them wrapped/packed inside something thermal or insulated. Also, the lid shuts tight but if you were to fill it with water, for example, I'm sure it would leak out. It's not a complete "seal".

No, I don't think it is airtight. There is no sealing material between the lid and box. Nor is there any on the "hinge-y" part of the lid.

They seem to be pretty air and water tight ... Like with any container, there may be a little leakage, but my lid goes on tight and doesn't move when on. I had to cut holes in my lid for my bread gasses to escape.

Not sure if they are truly "air tight," but the caps screw on very tightly and securely. If air gets through, it doesn't appear to be enough to dry out the spices or cause them to become stale.

Well, the lids are secure, but at the same time, they lift off easily. I suppose that a screw-on lid would be MORE airtight, but I have not had a problem maintaining freshness in these jars.

I don't think so. Don't believe these boxes are airtight. We use these boxes to store shoes in. I personally use ziplock freezer bags for bagels, etc.

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.

As long as all four flaps are tightly closed, they're pretty air-tight. I dumped a box of cereal into one last summer, and it's still crisp and fresh.

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.

The lids are NOT attached but they seal pretty well. You can store dry snacks BUT you must take into consideration that they are made of silicone so they can be squeezed. I have used them for apple slices, crackers and carrot sticks for snacking in the car or in the lunch box to be taken in school but I was careful not to squeeze them.

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 don't think the lid closes tight enough to keep moisture or bugs out. I have several items I need to keep dry but I store them in airtight containers in the box.

THEY ARE NOT AIRTIGHT!!!!Good for crafts or buttons I guess?The plastic seal between the metal cap and the jar is not designed to be airtight seal.

I don't store dry food in mine. I use it for office supplies. The seal isn't air proof.

Definitely not airtight. Don't remember where they were made or if plastic is BPA free. Sorry I couldn't help you out more.

I don't think the lid is supposed to be airtight. Mine has a small amount of unlevel, but it works perfectly fine. My experience in all my glass lid (metal edged) lids on crock pots is that once the moisture rises to the lid and flows to the lid edge a sort of water-seal forms with the shoulder of the crock and there is no unacceptable moisture loss.
