Is there some type of rubber seal that makes them completely air tight?

Dan: I didn't find replacement gaskets for this set as each canister has a different diameter. What I ended up doing is purchasing a bag of Rubber Bands in "assorted sizes," and using the wide, thick bands, I put one underneath the gasket of one of the lids and it became tight, while it took three rubber bands (two side-by-side and one on top of those) to make the other lid gasket grip. My remaining two canisters in this set arrived air tight. It is a beautiful set, they just need some quality control inspectors to check the lids before selling them.--Caron

Definitely use an air tight stopper. I use rubber stoppers I bought on Amazon for about $3 each; they will last forever.

I don't believe so. The lid does not have anything like a silicone gasket in it that would make it truly air tight. You'd be wasting your money.

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

the seal on this tight. there is a rubber around the tight fitting lid that clamps down extra hard.

They do have a rubber seal around the edge, however the pour spout does not. If you turn the jar upside down to mix the contents, it will leak from the pour spout.

Mine was sealed in a plastic bag, but I can't say if it was air tight because I didn't stick it under water to test it. (shrug) Sorry I can't be of more help. I do know it works great in my Filter Queen defender.

Yes they do have the rubber seal. Just like OEM bags from Panasonic. Sorry for delay in answering was out of country for three weeks.

There are several ways to seal them. You can buy a thermal sealer designed for the bags, or the most economical way is to use a metal level and an iron. YouTube is a really good resource for this. If you're sealing food don't forget to buy the oxygen absorbers it's amazing how well they work.

They are very well made and seal tightly. I'm not sure they are air tight, but they are leak proof.

They are not airtight. Water will not get in. There is no seal, but the lid overlaps the side by 2 inches. The lid also fits very snug. I have used these for about 5 years now. They are very well made (good materials, heavy duty) hold up to lots of abuse and have a lot of space. I put gear I want to keep dry and safe in it and put it in the bed of my truck. I have traveled many thousand miles with these in my truck bed and never had any issues with water leakage no matter what the weather brings.

No. It has a solid glass lid that makes contact with the ceramic interior. No rubber seal.

No rubber seal. There is a silicone plug on the bottom which is a special device that allows the glass to breathe. This innovation is what makes the glass work without steam or condensation. Place it on beautiful wood surface... that's ok.. no drips, no condensation... amazing.

Well, they have holes in the tops; so I'm not exactly sure what you mean by airtight. The tops do stay on quite well, but the holes would allow air to get in.

There is no rubber seal or gasket, but the top screws on and appears to be very tight.

It comes with a felt-like gasket. I don't know if it could really be considered air tight though.

The canisters do have a rubber seal, thus providing a barrier to the air. However, depending on what you mean by air tight...?????I believe that the rubber seal should extend the life of it's contents and prevent contamination from exterior sources.
