This item is described as airtight. Is there some sort of seal on the lid?

Yes there is a clear plastic seal. It isn't so tight it is hard to get off, but I think it is pretty airtight. The jar is huge, wish I would have gotten a little smaller one. But, I do like it.

It does have a seal , however I don't think it is completely airtight. We do use ours for coffee but we use the coffee at a quick rate so it is not a factor for us.

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.

Yes, there is a thin seal on the inside of the lid. It doesn't cover all the lid.

It is not airtight. The lid has several small holes in back for ventilation. Our bread does stay fresh at least twice as long though!

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.)

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.

No. Its not air/water tight. There is no seal whatsoever. The cap is just a cover with a spout for the water. The space for the spout is always open and the water can come out anytime.

There is no seal or rubber gasket per se to create a true airtight container. However, they do appear to be relatively air tight.

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.

These canisters do have a gel seal around the inside of the covers. As long as you keep them clean from the contents, the seal is airtight.

Yes Lori, they are sealed airtight. Sometimes they can be difficult to open, but have always succeeded. They stay fresh for a while, but they never last too long around my house. They are delicious!

Yes, I think the "stopper" type lid has a bit of plastic inside to help give it a tight seal.

i own this, with a properly placed seal it should be airtight. the seals remove for cleaning. if you do not install them correctly then it will not be air tight. they are pretty easy to install. i am happy for the price i paid. tupperware made nice canisters but they will cost you twice as much and they are not clear.

Lids are not loose they fit tight. Not sure what you mean by airtight , but the lids on mine fit tight ,sometimes its hard to get them off .

No rubber seal. Have not tested to see if it's truly airtight, but shake that was kept in it for a few weeks was old, but not dry and still potent. Strong, good smell inside, no smell outside.

Yes, just the same as a metal lid on a jar. I wouldn't say it's airtight, but it does not spill.
