Zero Waste Cartel Silicone Stretch Lids

Yes, the silicone is flexible enough to stretch over halved fruits and vegetables, creating a snug, airtight seal that prevents them from drying out in the fridge.

When applied correctly to a dry, smooth-rimmed container, they create a strong vacuum seal that is leakproof. However, they are not intended to be completely watertight if the container is jostled or turned upside down in a bag.

Yes, the silicone is highly elastic and designed to stretch over various shapes, including square and rectangular containers, as long as the diagonal measurement does not exceed the maximum stretch capacity of the lid.

For the most secure fit, ensure both the rim of your container and the underside of the silicone lid are clean and dry before applying. Start by hooking one side of the lid onto the container edge and stretching it across to the opposite side.

Yes, these lids are dishwasher safe. We recommend placing them on the top rack to ensure they stay in place during the wash cycle.

Silicone is non-porous, so it generally resists absorbing odors. If you store something particularly pungent, a quick wash with hot, soapy water or a soak in vinegar and water usually removes any lingering scent.
