I want to store dried fruit in it. Does it have an air-tight seal?

It has a rubber seal. It would be airtight but it's not a super strong seal so it wouldn't be great for long term storage.

Yes, it has a seal. Mine have kept moisture out of such things as flour and sugar; however, I haven't tried storing dried fruit in any of them.

It has a pretty tight seal but I don't know if it would be tight enough for dried fruit.

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

I'm not really sure what you mean by airtight. It doesn't seal like a canning process does, but it keeps the contents of the jar fresh and I often shake mine without leakage as I use it to store smoothies after I make a large carafe and can't drink it all. Hope that helps.

There is a plastic seal that screws onto the canister and goes a little up onto the inside of the lid. The seal is solid but I don't know if it's totally air tight. One could easily install another small seal on the inside of the lid for total air-tightness. These things are just great and they are worth the extra effort. Very pretty colour of red too!

I don't know if I would consider it "air tight" or "air proof" as the seal is a foam strip (not rubber or some denser material), but the latch does keep the lid snapped closed. I roll mine around a lot though and tend to grap it from the front, which then unsnaps the seal. Argh. I have to remember to grab with both hands on either side of the snap, and then it works fine. I like them. (I took a photo for you as I thought there was a way to upload photos ... but I can't see how to do that on this answer.)

Short answer no, it doesn't create a liquid tight seal. I'm sure you could store non wet food just fine if so you choose.

While the lid has a snug fit I would not consider it air tight. Depending on what you are storing my answer would be different... cookie dough yes... air sensitive fruits no....

Hi, Constance - i have the Sestema storage boxes; are these what you're looking at? They DO have a thin rubber seal in the lid. I store flour in them. We live in the dessert at high elevation, so, yes, everything keeps dry. If you are in a humid climate, you might have a different experience. Hope this helps!

I store mine in an airtight container and have not had any problems thus far.

don't know about airtight but the caps are screw tops, suspect nothing that isn't permanently sealed shut can be airtight in high humidity climates

Yes, they are absolutely air tight. There is a rubber (or perhaps silicone?) gasket around each lid, and when closed makes a tight seal. I keep items such as flour, cornmeal and sugar in them safely.

No, the container does not have any type of seal so it's not airtight. The lid does sit well (fitted) on top of the glass container, but it is not airtight.

No it does not. I was kind of dissapointed but what can u do? It seems to keep everything ok tho. I have flour in this size and in a smaller size sugar both no seals. And both are ok no moisture issues.

yes, it is airtight. It never last long enough to go stale, the container is really small if you stack up, it's a poor design, it takes half the room. Today I only use it to store tea bags, formula, things that takes little room. I now use the zoli sumo snack stack.

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.

Yes they have a strip around the top that makes them airtight. Keeps food fresh. I, have really enjoyed mine!

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.
