Does this have a positive seal(i.e. felt)? I'm looking for one that seals completely-no small gaps when closed.

It has a rubber gasket. The side holes for the hinge wire are too big and not in the right location. Seal is not tight, these will leak air!

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.

Hi! It does form a seal... I would say it is good enough for a kitchen counter. I remove the strip once every 3 months and wipe the hole. I have had the strip for a couple of years now, and no fluids have passed the seal. Cheers.

Hi, it definitely is not a permanent seal! I guess it opens like any other sealed bag (not too difficult), that's once you get it to seal......

I just looked at ours and it appears to be completely sealed. Hope this helps!

It is totally sealed, seems pretty heavy duty to me. I have not had any issues with this at all! I love mine!

No seal, just sits on top - not loosely, but not securely either. Could fall off if you don't grab it properly. Hope this helps.

Mine did indeed come with the tub seal. Wish I hadn't already ordered one separately

Yes. In my experience it seals well no matter how full.I would recommend rolling the top down as far as possible to get rid of excess air/space but I've had good luck from half to completely full.

Yes it does. I find that it seals very well too. I haven't had any spillage in my lunch box like I do with gladware for example.

It has seals, All I did was drill the hole and installed it, no leaks what so ever

Correct it does not completely close/seal. There is a small opening to pour. Hope that helps.

I didn't seal it and it's holding up just fine! No visible wear and tear. :)

It doesn't really have a "seal". It's just a wooden lid that slides back and forth which covers whatever you have inside fairly well, but not air tightly. I have coarse salt and pepper inside my box, and for this purpose, it works great.

I have these and yes they do have a rubber seal on them. The bigger one seems to fit tighter than the small one. I do love mine!

I agree with the other responses in that it will not create a seal. However it works great to prevent boil-over.

Yes it has a built-in sealer. I do not recommend this device. You will have to pump it 50 times (yes 50) in order for it to remove the air. I have not checked, but I would bet that there are other devices that work just as good and that you do not need to pump so many times. The feature that convinced me to buy it was the food grade silicone. If not for the number of times to pump, it would be a good device. I would guess that this is the reason they are selling it so cheaply. Again, I would look to other such devices. Best of luck.
