Do the canisters have a seal to protect the contents?

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.

They have a pretty good rubber (maybe soft plastic) seal. I don'think it's air tight. They have been dependable in storing flour and cookies.

These did not come with protective seals. One of them did not leak much, but the other one did so we were glad we had put them in protective bags or our clothes would have been ruined. I don't know where you would get a protective seal. Even using a plastic wrap before screwing on the lid might work. Will try that next time!

They do not. I just always make sure to keep them filled with something otherwise they may be a challenge to store.

No they do not. These are to be used with a laminating machine to seal items inside of the pouch which protects the item.

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.

Yes. I had bought a different set and was disappointed that it wasn't a true airtight seal. This jar is perfect...a nice large jar witha nice airtight seal. You won't be disappointed!

They have a vacuum seal, but I always open and use within a month of purchase. Then again, I use them in a lot of recipes.

There is a thin rubber gasket around the lids, this makes the seal very secure. I have had the canisters for several months and have no problem.

It doesn't. I closed mine with clear packing tape. Its not that hard to do, but I really wish they had a seal of their own.

Yes, they are. However, I still sealed everything up with a mylar bag before putting on the lid. They are very high quality buckets/lids that seal up very tight and once sealed, have a one time use pull strip to open them again. The lids will go on again without the pull strip...but I wouldn't think it would be air tight without that strip.

I did not remove the seal around each lid. It keeps the canister more air tight. In fact, I think the seals in these canisters work better than some of the others I have had. The sugar hasn't clumped even in all the high humidity we have had this year. I am very pleased with this set. Just to be on the safe side, while I wash the body of the canisters in the dishwasher, I do hand wash the lids.

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

No each container has their own lid that seals. They are great. I have all my dry foods in them.

The lids are hinded with suction sealing. I really like these canisters. I purchased chalkboard stickers to add to my canisters and use them for flour, sugar, rice etc. Hope this helps!

I found some canisters at Walmart. They are acrylic with a gasket around the lid and a locking clasp. They are reasonably priced.
