Keeping your kitchen organised whilst preserving food freshness doesn't have to be a juggling act. Our extensive range of airtight food storage containers and glass jars transforms chaotic cupboards into streamlined spaces where everything has its place – and stays fresher for longer.
From tiny 110ml spice jars to generous 2.2L storage vessels, we've got every kitchen need covered. Whether you're storing pasta, rice, flour, or those expensive specialty ingredients you don't want going stale, these containers create the perfect sealed environment that keeps moisture out and flavour in.
What's the difference between glass and plastic food storage containers?
Glass containers offer that premium feel and complete transparency – you'll always know exactly what's inside and how much remains. They're naturally odour-resistant, won't stain, and can go from cupboard to dishwasher without worry. The Scandi-style glass jars with wooden lids add a lovely aesthetic touch to open shelving too.
Plastic containers, meanwhile, excel in practicality. They're lighter, virtually unbreakable, and often feature clever flip-top mechanisms that create incredibly secure seals. Our plastic range includes those satisfying click-lock systems that give you confidence the seal is properly engaged – you know that reassuring sound when everything clicks into place.
Which lid type provides the best airtight seal?
Here's where it gets interesting. Traditional glass jars with rubber gasket seals remain the gold standard for long-term storage – they're virtually impermeable. Wooden lids with silicone seals offer excellent protection whilst looking absolutely gorgeous on display. Cork lids work brilliantly for items you access regularly, though they're better for shorter-term storage.
The flip-lock plastic containers deserve special mention. Their multi-point locking system creates remarkable seals that often outperform traditional jar closures. Plus, there's something deeply satisfying about that definitive 'click' when they lock shut.
Can I use these containers for more than just dry goods?
Absolutely – and this versatility makes them incredibly valuable. Glass containers handle everything from overnight oats to homemade dressings, whilst the larger plastic containers excel at storing leftover soups or batch-cooked meals. Many customers use our glass milk bottles for fresh juices or homemade nut milks.
The smaller jars work beautifully for portion control – pre-measured nuts, seeds, or breakfast toppings ready to grab. Others use them for craft supplies, buttons, or even as mini planters for herbs. When storage solutions look this good, why limit them to just the kitchen? Our 8-piece sets provide comprehensive coverage for families serious about organisation and food preservation.
