Mann Co. Supply Crates are tool items obtainable only through the item drop system. They are shown as open-style wooden shipping crates, wrapped in chains held with a comically large padlock.

Crates can only be unlocked by using Mann Co. Supply Crate Keys, which are only purchasable at the Mann Co. Store for the price of . The crate cannot be crafted, or be used to craft things such as Scrap Metal. Opening a crate is often a gamble for players due to the wide range of possible contents.

When a crate is opened, a 5 second timer ticks down, alongside a sound effect of chains jangling and wood creaking. The player will receive one item from a set of items, which are listed in the crate's description and dependent on its series. This item is announced to the server in a similar format to regular dropped items. The crate is then removed from the player inventory.

  • Valve modeled the crate and padlocked chain in order to take the screenshot for the icon. These models can't be found in the game files, however, their textures can.
