Are the lids leakproof? I'd want to use them to carry soups or salads with dressing in a bag lunch.

Yes, they are leakI would not trust them for leakproof, especially carrying soup.

Your question got me thinking, so I did a quick test. I filled one up with a bit of water, put the lid in place and tried 1) holding it upside down and 2) jostling and shaking it. The results: I did not see or experience any leakage. Hope this info helps you out!

I just filled one up with water then gave it a pretty good shaking and not a drop came out, but I don't think they were made to use for food on the go...The lid is not a deep lid, it's just right around the very top part of the jar/glass, so if it gets moved just a smidge, anything liquid in it, will be out of it :)

Although the lids are tight, I wouldn't trust them for carrying soup- maybe salad. Also, they are glass and I would be nervous about kids dropping them- they do break. They are great for leftovers.

Leaking has never personally happened with my set. Not ever, and I take a lot of differing things in my lunch. Maybe the other folks are overfilling their containers--maybe don't fill it up to the top? But no, in my experience they don't leak.

I do not believe they would leak. I found that the cork was quite secure. I, however, did not put any liquid in them when I used them. Hope it works for you.

The lids are quite well fitting and tight. I'm not going to turn a bowl of soup upside down over my head to prove it but I can say for normal use they keep liquids from spilling ...hold on a minute.Okay, I turned the small bowl half full of water with the lid on upside down over my head and I'm still dry. So, yes the lids are quite nice and tight.

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".

I have never had a problem with liquids leaking. I use the smaller sizes in my lunch bags and have never had a leak. The others don't get shaken much unless I'm using them for a marinade, which get shaken gently, but again, no trouble. I like these a lot.

They do not leak one bit. The lids are sturdy. They are not straws but openings and are large and perfect for smoothies.

We have never had a problem with a leak. The lids fit the jar well and are made well. Hope this helps

I have had some leaks when liquids were in them and they were shaken upside down. IMO, I'd not take them in a backpack unless closed in a ziploc.

It is not leak- proof. I think salad dressing would leak. I would put in a separate container.

Yes - they are great and I use them for my son's lunch and snacks on the go. No rust and easy for them to open, they seem to seal tight and not leak. Lightweight as well. I would recommend these! 1/4 cup (small) and 1 cup estimate (large)

I have never put liquid in these containers so can't really say if they are leak proof. I have used them for grapes and cut fruit pieces and they have worked very well. They do close pretty tightly if that helps. Fortunately my now 8-year-old daughter has always been able to open these containers herself.

I did not have any problems with leakage. I have used them for transporting pickles, making jello shots and putting condiments in to take for lunch.

I shouldn't leak at all if you have the lid snapped on firmly and the little vent hole cover snapped into place. It's a rubbery lid that seals pretty tightly and takes some effort to sort of "peel" it back off the cup when you are ready to eat. I've never had any spillage in my fancy tote bag I haul lunch in.

I would not call them water proof but they are probably water resistant. I believe the bags would start t leak if they were in the rain for very long. I have like having the bag to keep the chairs clean and for carrying the chairs.

I use these mostly for my husbands lunches for things like pork and beans, pudding, olives, etc. However I just went and took one, filled it with water and put it on it's side and nothing came out so I shook it a bit and still nothing. When I press on the sides of the container the top bows up so even the air is staying in. I think they are mostly air tight and so far, I've never had one leak in my husbands lunch before. One caveat, these are plastic so if a lid or container is ever so slightly warped, it could possibly leak I suppose. Hope that helps you. I love these for lunches and portion control and I've bought them more than once.

Yes, as long as you screw on the tops good, they're leak proof! I've put them in my purse sideways multiple times and nothing leaked out. They're great bottles, the perfect size. I've saved a lot of plastic bottles by buying these.
