Are the lids twist on and off for airtight?

these jars are decorative and airtight. they will keep moisture and critters out. everyone comments on how attractive they are.

Be aware, though, these are VERY small if you are thinking "cookie" jar. They hold candies, nuts, snacks well. Not large enough for flour, sugar, cookies. But they are beautiful.

I haven't tried to use them in this manner but, to be honest, I think that would be asking for trouble. These lids are tight, but not bulletproof. You should probably try to find something where the lid screws on tightly, rather than pushes down to form a seal. My opinion only.

No, not air tight at all unless you maybe wrap some plastic wrap around the top before putting lid on. I actually never use the lid.

The lids snap on. They have a nice rubber seal that holds in everything.....I've tipped it over at work and no spills!!!

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

Well, the lids are secure, but at the same time, they lift off easily. I suppose that a screw-on lid would be MORE airtight, but I have not had a problem maintaining freshness in these jars.

Yes the lids seem airtight to me. They have screw on grooves that secure on pretty well. Interesting idea to use them for dry snacks. Will have to try.

Terri, yes they do. My contents have stayed dry and fresh. There is a slight suction sound when the lid is pulled off. I really like mine. Take care.

Hi Donna, the canisters just have a seal along the edge. They are not air tight. The lids fit loosely on each one. I keep pre made coffee filters in them for the week and they always stay fresh and perfect. I love them so much and they look beautiful. I hope this helps a bit. Debbie

Yes...I leave lid on loosely. That's one of the reasons why I chose these. Great for sending food to daycare with baby.

They are tightly twisted off at both ends but not sealed . I hope this answer helps you.

Ummm....I think they are supposed to be. One of the lids has vents on it. I stopped using them pretty quickly since they won't stick to anything!

Not really. You can twist them on but its hard to get them lined up just right so they don't leak.

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.

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