airtight containers

Hermetically sealed receptacles

Airtight containers are vessels designed to prevent air from entering or escaping, used primarily to preserve food, protect contents from moisture or contamination, or maintain freshness.

Common examples include sealed jars, vacuum-sealed bags, and containers with rubber gaskets or snap-lock lids.
