Great air tight container for painting
The fit with the glass palette is perfect, and the lid is super airtight for keeping acrylic paints fresh, however note the size can be a bit bulky (this brand does have one size smaller) and the cover can be hard to get on/off (you need good hand strength). I’m sure the cover will get easier with repeated use. Is a bit expensive, but the quality of this plastic looks like it will last many, many years. Overall great product for any artist using acrylic paints.

Good product
Durable, easy to use, keeps the oil paint moist and in usable condition for 3 to 4 weeks. Versatile enough to hold small to large palette. Good value for money. Works as advertised.

No more mess and waste using plastic wrap. Helps keep oil paints from drying out
I was using plastic wrap on my palette to keep the oil paint wet, but a lot of the paint would stick to the wrap when removing it. It was messy and wasteful, so I finally decided to try this and I am really pleased with it. I use a 12"x16" glass palette and it fits perfectly inside this case. It would have been almost impossible to transport my palette to and from a portrait class I was taking without this. I can't say how long this container keeps the paint from drying out, because I use my palette often. But I can say that I have not had any of my paint dry out. I have also safely transported wet canvases in this box. I'm very happy I got this.

Does not keep oil paint from drying out as much as hoped
Maybe it delays drying by a little bit, maybe the paint might last until the next day. But for the super fast drying paints like Prussian blue, they're still dry the next day, even after totally sealing the container all around the edges according to the instructions given. I feel that the seal is tight, but there's enough air still on the inside after it's sealed that it still dries out the paint regardless. If it makes a difference, I use paper palettes rather than the glass one that some people use, so maybe paper takes up less space leaving more room for air to still be inside. It might be good to save paint if you have to go to bed and want it to still be wet the next morning, but after 2-3 days, the paints (other than the slow drying ones like yellow) will still be drying up as if you just left them out normally. I was really hoping for something where I could paint, take a break for 2-3 days, and come back with the paint still usable, but this is not the case. Also, sealing the container tightly is a pain (literally very painful on the hands to press on the lid hard enough to properly seal it going around every inch of the edge) and it makes so little of a difference in drying speed that at this point, I don't even seal the lid and it's just a nice palette holder. It's still good as a palette holder and nicely fits a 12x16 inch palette, it does slow drying somewhat, but it did not slow drying nearly as much as I had hoped.

Does a great job of keeping paints soft. I love it.
Love this, had one before and love this very much.

Lid is not great
I want to love this as the idea is genius and it’s a perfect size, but the lid is sometimes impossible to get on and if it’s not completely sealed it kind of defeats the purpose. Works and looks like the pic but there is room for improvement.

Paint Palette saver
This is so very useful when saving paint on your palette. Used for oils and with the sealing lid, it keeps paints from drying out between painting. The lid is somewhat flexible but it is supposedly needed for proper sealing. Time will tell but good so far.

Won’t close after first use!
I hate this thing. I was taking an advanced oil painting class and the teacher wanted everyone to get this box since it was a multiple day class and we were leaving the paints there overnight so I ordered it. I followed instructions and even marked my left corner as indicated. It was a little difficult to close but no big deal. Day 1 of class … Neither the teacher nor me could get the top on at the end of the day. The sides just won’t line up and pop on. Of course, I marked the left corner and it also has some paint on the side so I cannot return it. A total waste of money! And something I thought I could use for years gets to pollute the landfills. Disgusted by the poor quality.

Great size, seals very tight. Keeps oils paints fresh for much longer. Excellent addition to my equipment. Recommend getting the paper palette sheets with it as well.

This palate is just what I have been looking for it is a good size under lid. Tight fit will keep my paints fresh for a long time.

Boîte pour palette de peinture à l'huile. Elle est parfaitement étanche à l'air, pour cela bien suivre la consigne. En y rajoutant la plaque en vert trempé pour le mélange des peintures on peut garder celles-ci plusieurs semaines. En plus elle est très facile à nettoyer. Très belle qualité. Au départ je l'ai trouvé un peu grande mais après usage elle est parfaite.

This is huge, and well worth the money. I would totally recommend it to any painter out there trying to keep their paints lasting extra time.

Tuper "muy eficaz" para guardar la paleta, hermètica. Para mi muy útil. Aunque el precio creo que es excesivo, por eso no lo doy 5 estrellas.
