These are fantastic containers. They seal well, stay closed, and are very easy to open. We have ordered the taller, thinner black vials in the past, but these are much easier to use. We store beads for jewelry making in them, adding labels to the outside of each container. They're big enough to have a usable label, and the consistency in size makes them very easy to pack into large translucent cases. If you a need for storage vials like this, we certainly recommend these ones.

These USA made black plastic vials can be used for so many things. I decided to check the water tight claim and I can confirm that they are indeed watertight.Now, these vials are much larger than I thought. Really, who knows what the heck a dram is? I mean, even the famous search engine that starts with a G and ends with oogle kept switching me to gram conversion.I ended up resorting to a kitchen measuring cup and tablespoon. The vial holds 1.5 oz, or 3 tablespoons. After calling my family chemist - lol, yes I have not one, but 2 chemists in the family - 13 drams is actually 3.25 tablespoons. Now, this vial does need to close, so some liquid has to be sacrificed.I did get a lesson in drams in that figuring exact dram to tablespoon conversion is like trying to figure π to it's last digit. It's just not practical. So, 1 dram is .25 tablespoons, 4 drams is a tablespoon.The vial is 2.75" high and 1.25" on the base and 1 3/8" at the lid. It looks like a tall film vial, if you remember those. There is an endless line on the top pointing to the 2 spots where the finger and thumb are placed to squeeze the vial and have it pop open. Now, if you need to open this quietly, forget it. It makes a popping sound every time. I tried to open it without squeezing it by putting my thumbnail under the portion that opens. While it worked, it's not easy (and it still pops).The vials are very well made, and 315 of them are in a 14x14x12.5" box. That's a LOT of vials in a large box. A box that shipped inside an even larger (too large) box despite that a label on the box would have done the job. I'm not complaining, I'm just saying this is a big box.$54.89 for 315 of these vials brings the cost to only 17.4¢ each, a bit more if you have to pay sales tax.I'll be using these awesome vials for small storage in my floating box in my kayak, for misc OTC meds for my IFAK, and for seed storage. I save and share many of my own seeds, so these are perfect for that.
