There are some covers for older pieces still available. If it's a round
container, check the bottom and see if there is a single letter there.
Things like A seals, Y seals etc. are available since there are still
containers sold today with those seals. Even the pleated, instant seals are
still available
AFAIK.
If you are going to go to the kiosk, rather than taking your container, look
on the bottom and you will see a series of numbers (i.e. 453-374). The
digits before the dash will tell the consultant exactly what item that is
and he/she will be able to look up the item in their parts book and tell you
if a seal is available for it.
Said seals are a few dollars rather than cents, depending on the size. But
consider spending 2-3 dollars on a seal that will last another 20 years
rather than spending a few bucks on a roll of Glad Press & Seal on a regular
basis.
