Storage canister Wesco 112785 matte graphite – airtight kitchen container, metal body

Wesco 112785 matte graphite is a storage canister with a metal body and an airtight closure designed for kitchen and home use. The container provides a robust, opaque shell in a matte graphite finish that fits countertop and pantry settings. The airtight seal helps protect dry goods from moisture and pests while maintaining flavor and aroma of stored items such as coffee, tea, sugar and flour.

Advantages

The metal construction offers durability and light impact resistance compared with thin plastic containers. The matte graphite surface reduces visible fingerprints and integrates with a range of kitchen styles. An airtight closure limits air exchange to slow moisture ingress and preserve freshness. The canister is suitable for repeated daily use and simple cleaning.

Suitable for

• Dry pantry goods such as coffee beans, ground coffee and tea leaves
• Baking ingredients including sugar, flour and powdered mixes
• Snacks, biscuits and dry cereal for countertop access
• Organised pantry storage to reduce clutter and protect from insects

Key specifications

• Body material: metal with matte graphite finish
• Closure: airtight sealing mechanism
• Intended content: dry foodstuffs (coffee, tea, sugar, flour, snacks)
• Suitable placement: countertop, pantry shelves, kitchen cabinets
• Finish: non-reflective matte surface

How to use

Before first use, clean the canister with a damp cloth and allow it to dry completely. Place dry, room-temperature items into the canister and close the lid firmly to engage the airtight seal. For coffee and tea, store in small batches to minimise time exposed to air when opening. Empty and clean the canister periodically to avoid residue buildup; hand-wipe the metal surfaces and dry thoroughly to prevent moisture retention.

Usage recommendations

Store only dry, non-perishable goods. Avoid placing the canister in direct sunlight or near strong heat sources to prevent changes in product temperature. If storing odorous items, consider using separate canisters to avoid flavor transfer.
