sealed containers
Shut tight receptacles
Sealed containers are receptacles closed to prevent air, moisture, or contaminants from entering or contents from escaping.
The term appears frequently in food safety guidelines, shipping regulations, and legal contexts: Store leftovers in sealed containers.
In courtrooms, sealed containers matter because unopened packaging may establish chain of custody or preserve evidence.
