The Mr.siga 16-pack is designed to create a uniform, organized look in a pantry. The containers are made from high-impact plastic with a wall thickness of 1.2mm, providing a clear view of dry goods. A significant feature is the inclusion of a minimalist label set and marker, which uses a residue-free adhesive for easy removal. The geometry is optimized for 12-inch pantry shelves, allowing for efficient use of space.
The seal uses a Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) ring, which provides an airtight environment for dry goods. However, it is not designed to be waterproof under pressure; tilting a full container of fine powder like flour may lead to some displacement if the latches aren't fully engaged. The "living hinges" on the side locks have a finite lifespan and may show signs of fatigue over time. To prevent warping of the lids or degradation of the seals, hand-washing is recommended over dishwasher use.
For more robust storage that can move from the fridge to the oven, the Magic Mill Glass Container Set offers higher thermal durability.
These containers are a top choice for those shopping in the large airtight containers category.
