sealable
Able to close
Sealable describes something that can be closed or secured to prevent air, liquid, or other substances from getting in or out.
The term most commonly applies to containers, bags, and packaging: sealable plastic bags keep food fresh longer.
A sealable surface or joint is one that can be made airtight or watertight with proper materials or mechanisms.
