Comments about Loew-Cornell Loew Cornell Storage Cups:

I teach oil painting and used these for the students medium. I noticed after the first class two of the cups were cracked and leaking. The rim inside the cap folds and will not allow the cap to snap on easily, thus presure that cracks the cup. After two more broken cups the second week, I'm looking for something better.

I use these for my Arbonne RE9 kit trials. They are perfect to put the night creme in.

I used this product to carry paint that my students used to paint faces. I like the product because the cups are air tight, and I can use them again without worrying about the paint drying out.

My primary use for these cups is storing underglaze pigment/mineral mixtures for painting my ceramics, but I also use them for storing mixes of my watercolors and many other things. I went through a number of other manufacturers' versions of storage cups, and this one is the best BY FAR. Reasons: truly will never leak if cap is in place, tough and not easily cracked by dropping, curved inner edges of storage chamber make resuspension of settled mixtures easy, and the price is very reasonable. All the sizes have their uses, but I find I turn to the two largest sizes the most; the smallest size is just too little to handle and doesn't store enough material. As another reviewer noted, it's important to be sure the cap is pushed down all around the edge. The cap material is more flexible than some, and this makes this operation easier, but people with arthritis might have issues and prefer a screw-cap. (Although I have yet to find a screw-cap which is as well-sealed as these are.)

Keeps my mixed acrylic paints, fresh. I've gone weeks to a month with my paints bottled up inside. Do not expect your paint to last forever in these cups. These cups can be slightly tricky to cap on, but I do not consider this to be a defect in the design. The lid does not easily pop off when I place my storage cups (filled with paint), in my backpack with my other belongings. Great price for the sturdiness & the amount of storage cups you receive in a purchase.

I was looking for a small cup with a good seal to keep acrylic craft paint from drying out between crafting sessions. These aren't really suitable for long term storage, but I've been able to stop work on a project and go back to it a few days later without a problem.

I paint concrete birdbaths and make my own acrylic color washes so I need lots of containers to mix my paints. I was trying to use small jars but I couldn't eat enough jelly to get the jars I needed. Plus, jars are bulky and hard to store. I found the Lowell Cornell Storage jars at a craft store and tried them out when they worked great I wanted to buy more but they were too expensive for me to buy more than one package. They also had 3 sizes in the pack and I just wanted the 2" size. I found I could buy them in bulk from Dick Blick at a great price. The first dozen I ordered came in a couple days. I didn't think I'd use them all but was surprised to find that I actually needed more so I ordered another dozen. (You get a better price by the dozen). The second order came in just a couple days also so I was very pleased.

The only thing I don't like about the jars, and it's a minor complaint, is the lid isn't easy to close. You have to be careful that it's pressed down all the way before you put it away. But then, they are easier to close than the clunky glass jars I was using. Now I can keep all my colors organized in plastic drawer units and find them easily. I used to dread the painting process. Now I actually look forward to it.
