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. Mann Co. Supply Crates can be opened with the use of a Mann Co. Supply Crate Key.
When a crate is opened, a five second timer ticks down, alongside a sound effect of chains jangling and wood creaking. Once opened to the tune of a cheering crowd - identical to when an achievement is unlocked - the player will receive one of a set of items which are listed in the crate's description and are dependent on its series. This item is announced to the server in a similar format to regular dropped items. The crate and key are removed from the player's inventory and replaced with the uncrated item.
While Mann Co. Supply Crates are obtained through the item drop system they do not add to the total cap of items a player can obtain each week.[1]

Series #6 - Festive Winter Crate (No Longer Drops)
Festive Winter Crate
Level 10
Crate Series #6
This crate is unusually festive.
Its contents are unknown and
normal keys don't fit the lock.
You'd better hold onto it.
There'll probably be a way to open it later.
This item will expire on Dec 31, 2010 (23:00:00).
Added in the December 10, 2010 Patch.
This crate could not be opened with the normal Mann Co. Supply Crate Key. Instead it required a Festive Winter Crate Key purchased from the Mann Co. Store that was released in conjunction with the Australian Christmas event, or a Stocking Stuffer Key. They expired on December 31, 2010, upon when they were removed from player's backpacks.

Bugs
- Attempting to open a crate whilst disconnecting from a server will result in the timer being set to 255 seconds.
Trivia
- Although Valve modeled the padlocked chain for the icon, the padlocked box can't be found in the game files; its textures, however, can be found. The crate itself uses a model that appears to be the same as
models/props_hydro/barrel_crate_half.mdl. - In the Mac update trailer, a RED Soldier can be seen sifting through a crate of hats, hinting at the existence of crates before the Mann-Conomy Update.
- In the game Minecraft, as of the Beta 1.4 update, it includes a mock crate called: "Steve Co. Supply Crate" which when the player attempts to open it brings a message similar to the Team Fortress 2 description of a crate. When the player goes to the "Minecraft Store", the text has a font similar to those in Team Fortress 2, The player buys a key and clicks “Proceed to checkout!" it changes to "Fiddlesticks!!!1", resets the cart fee to $0 and a velociraptor pops up to scare you. The crate can be found here.
