Pronunciation: (leek-ri-zis-tuhnt)
Leak-resistant describes containers designed to minimize or prevent the escape of liquids. These containers often feature tightly fitting lids, sealed seams, or coatings that help contain liquids, though they may not be entirely leakproof. Leak-resistant properties are crucial for foodservice applications involving sauces, soups, gravies, or other liquids, ensuring convenient transport and minimizing spills and messes. This term applies to a range of disposable items like cups, containers, bowls, and food trays. While leak-resistant products offer enhanced protection against spills compared to standard containers, they may not withstand extreme pressure or prolonged inversion.
